Wall Street wants you to keep buying since 14k on the dow. The masters of the universe have no idea whats happing and it is proven in there loosing record. But they still get paid millinons for this losing your $. Its simple. The cycles predicted about 14k top and the bottom will be about 10,5k or 10K.
This is historical and it also is the average retracement of the dow in a recession (26%).Forget about all you hear this has been cycle mostly corrrect for over 100 years.

Ed, your stupid. Stop posting. BTW, it's happening not "happing" and "there" should be their. And also stop investing but take some time and vote for McCain and stop using the internet cause like Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska says you're clogging up the pipes! How much credit card debt do you have and do you have a new truck? Were you short the Dow? Didn't think so Jeanne Dixon.
