Why This Rally Is Unsustainable

Hedge-fund manager Doug Kass, who this year was bullish on U.S. equities, now says the stock market could drop between 5 and 6 percent given the magnitude of its rally in recent weeks.

"Given the scope and duration of the recent market advance, I believe that the U.S. equity market is vulnerable to a short-term decline of 5 percent to 6 percent," Kass said in a note to clients on Monday. -

sounds like he is predicting a correction to me.....



look, i am no bear, but are you people so deluded into thinking that this is the end of it; that this market is going to rise unfettered?? get real, peeps!

"Oh - and whats all the venom goin on here ? I find most articles here quite interesting reading, regardless of typos. My God some of you need to disengage your hate and engage your higher thought processes.

Maybe learning how to hedge, and switching to decaf might help too !"

its called "being called on the carpet". there certainly ARE some good articles on seekingalpha, but its our job to police the writers who are delivering sub-standard writing. this particular article was sub-standard. should we sit around and praise every article simply because its printed??

sloppy writing. your first introduction of "highest yielding" stocks should mention "dividend". many people have no idea what "yielding" is. also - although its understandable that you might have concern over a company getting RID of its dividend (which would eliminate it entirely from the "dogs of the dow" list), once you start looking at each company, dissecting why you SHOULDN'T buy, you go against the whole idea of blindly following the DOGS of THE DOW rule. you don't buy "some" of the top 10 with the highest div. yield, cherry picking which ones you think may have trouble down the road. its simple - you buy THE TOP 10 HIGHEST DIVIDEND YIELDING companies on the dow. no need to re-invent the wheel. if you feel so inclined, change the name of your article to "picking stocks in the dow", since it seems as though you've thrown the whole "dogs of the dow" theory out of the window.....

congrats - you've come up with your very own 4 stock list (to be called the DOGS OF THE DOW it needs to include 10). your article ends up being a total waste of time.....

sheesh.
