Market Is Partying Like It's 1999

I remember 1999 and this isn't it. 15-20%? Try 50-100%. I made 400% in a week on a stock in 1998. This is nowhere near 1999.

Don't Expect a Housing Bottom Until Late 2009

I pretty much agree with everything you say, although I think it's foolish to speculate the date that everything will be "fixed". It'll get fixed when it gets fixed. However, I've continued to watch the homebuilder ETF and may pick up very small positions on big down days. The bottom line is that homes are not going away. I wouldn't dare buy any individual builder, but the next couple of quarters, I'll be watching the XHB very carefully.

Cool Heads Will Prevail

Good and well timed article. I'm searching for places to add to my long term holdings today. I usually know that if buying is painful (and it is today), then I'm probably doing the right thing. Sometimes it'll be wrong, but staying well diversified will mitigate a lot of your wrongness.
