"People who jump out of the market right now, and buy bonds will have the worst of all worlds: lose 20-25% on stocks, then lose 15% on bonds when the market rebounds."

I'm just glad I got into bonds 2 and one-half years ago (up about 15% during that time). What did your stocks earn in that time? The stock market is less than half-way to the bottom by the way...

Bonds don't suck yet, but they will when rates start rising again in the next four months. While you suckers wait for the next "buying opportunity" in stocks I'll have moved on to the REAL next buying opportunity.

You're shorting too, I see.

Well, I'm one of those who think we're near the bottom, but not quite there yet.

But the DOW's not going to 5,000, as some of you think.
