dropping big time. The Plunge Protection Team has not been having much success holding it up. Will this be known as the Gore recession, "This is the start of something big" or The Supreme Court Slide? People do not like to lose money in the market. My advice is get out while you can before it falls further. High inflation (hidden) lower earnings, fear of the unknown, loan losses by the banks, business failures due to the lack of credit, unemployment and other similar problems make the chance of the stock market going up about as good as finding ice cubes in the surf at the beach.
