The bottom is too deep to see but the big boys are buying some things even now. They are NOT buying forclosed properties They are buying high end real estate. They are buying JP Morgan more than Banck of America. They will buy tech like Apple , MS. and others including video game companies. They buy Treasury notes. They are selling most financials. They are buying many great opportunities...with your money. Coal and a select few alternative energy stocks are also a good bet. Also GM is low. The small practical stuff is a big winner if we can figure out what they are. |

The price can only go up from here. The prices may not hit absolute bottom today or tomorrow, but probably very soon. The only stocks to avoid would be for products that might conceiveably become obsolete with the advent of new technology, especially "green" tech and alterntaive energy. But even in those fields, the biggest corporations are fairly sure to diversify and figure out ways to make profits even if they have to shift gears. For example, the giant oil companies will probably be able to gradually phase out of oil ~ only after they absolutely have to ~ and start profiteering with natural gas, wind and solar equipment, etc. |

But that's not going to happen your side of the pond or ours, is it? Phil |
