if this starts to be the new MSM meme it’ll happen. they’ve proven to be great to creating self fulfilling prophecies - see the housing market and Iraq as examples.

So which shares have you shorted and why?

Stocks are safer storehouses of value than dollars, right now. Bernanke can’t print billions of stock certificates every month. ;)

Anyone who might be under the impression that Business Week is a conservative publication just because it has "Business" in its name would be quite mistaken. They have leaned to the left for years.

Caution on the part of investors may be warranted at this point, but BW overlooks, intentionally in my opinion, the biggest hazard: the probable Democrat takeover of the White House, and Dem gains in both the House and Senate after the 2008 election. The Democrats haven't even been subtle about their war on the achievers who fuel the economy. Unless there's a major change in the political landscape -- and, try as I might, I can't see it -- look for a taxation and regulatory nightmare beginning in 2009. And that's what is likely to end, at least for a while, the bull market in U.S. equities.

They just can’t stand the Bush economy :) and need to bring it down so the Dems can win next year.

Please sell. I’ve got a few years left of buying for my retirement, and it would be helpful if you all could sell all your stocks so I could buy them cheaper.

"The Fed has said, 'We will stop at nothing to defeat inflation,'" says Richard Sparks of Schaeffer's Investment Research.

This is probably a misquote. A more likely version:

"We will stop an nothing, except slowing down the printing presses, to defeat inflation.

...Charles Dumas...believes...

Not going to touch that one.

[GOPJ]

Dollar’s dropping. The world sees our markets as a firesale - that’ll push the old S&P up, up, up.

[ozzymandus]

Are we DOOMED again?? Dang.

[NeoCaveman]

Markets climb a wall of worry. It will be time to sell when everyone’s columns say “buy, buy, buy” and “this time it’s different”

[Fledermaus]

Everything is coming up roses....BUT (the liberal template is played again).

You don’t find article like this around market tops. What you do find are articles explaining how the Dow won’t stop until it reaches 20,000, or some such number.

We're doomed!

6) Contributions from Wall Street are going more to Democrats than Republicans. If they are hedging their bets on Hillary!, then we are in trouble.

Sounds like it might be a good time soon to sell.

Isn’t the S&Ps P/E ratio lower than the rolling 50 year average right now? I can’t see why the stock market wouldn’t continue to advance unless we hit a huge bear market.
