10 Reasons Why We Still Haven't Hit Bottom

I got out of the market at the end of 2007, when the professionals were saying to “stay the course”. I am still on the side line. Yes I have missed the recent 20% rally, and I don't feel bad about it. My philosophy is to never try to hunt for the bottom. Because if it is NOT the true bottom then there is a good chance that I will loose my shirt in the process.

I don't know if this is the bottom. There is one reason however why I think that there is a long way to go yet. That reason is that the government is as corrupt as Wall Street. Special Interest groups are still ruling the country. The "pay to play" is still alive and well. The AIG scandal is a prime example. And yes Geithner turned a blind eye to AIG bonuses.

Why do you think that the government stood still, while Madoff was running his giant Ponze scheme for over 20 years? Is it because of the lack of laws? Or is it maybe because he belongs to a special interest group, which is considered untouchable.
