Well, I surely wouldn't rule anything out.
Just one or two more Wh*** drive-by postings and TSL will have her wish.

Hussman, whose advice I take seriously, has this to say. If he is at all correct, I have no idea where to invest in a stagnant economy.
"There is a far weaker prospect for a return to 2007-like profit margins than investors seem to recognize. Economic expansions are paced not by major growth in consumption (which tends to be fairly smooth even during economic downturns), but instead by gross investment in capital goods, technology and housing, as well as debt-financed durables such as autos. Yet our policy makers have aggressively crowded out private investment through this bailout policy, which allocates good capital to the worst stewards, and they have done virtually nothing to abate the housing downturn. Add deleveraging pressure to that mix, and an absence of opportunity for mortgage equity withdrawals (which fed GDP growth during the last expansion), and we have an economy that is likely to produce a very stagnant recovery even if one has begun – of which I am also skeptical."

Blame it all on dh2b.
He just got his annual bonus and decided to invest it instead of spending it. <earned a major head pat  from me>
He placed the order last night and it should process this evening after market close.

I already relied on the prediction and invested all my stash. She said the downturn was over.

Where? Is it a public post, or by PM?

It's the lady with the crystal ball. Looks like my timing was a month off. Here comes the downward trend.

First, can you repost your graph? It shows through market close yesterday. The S&P closed at 911.97 today.
Second, I see it lasting about 4 weeks.

I'm too lazy to redo the graph, but we'll mark the starting point for your mulligan at 912.

You should have stayed with the original graph's (higher) ending point to start your four-week downturn prediction, SL

Ha! Ha! I thought of that before I sent the note but wanted to be honest about it, since I'm being granted a mulligan
