All I know for certain is that people will be a bit more prudent over the next decade or two. Decadence will rear its ugly head again around 2020 when I sell all my securities, buy CD's, and retire. :)

That's about my plan for early retirement <VBG>. FWIW, I was expecting closer to a 200-point profit-taking pullback (with corresponding profit-taking in the other indexes). If that would have happened, followed by a return to the current levels, I'd be much, much more confident that the emotion's been drained from the market.

I'll be very happy with a day tomorrow where none of the major indexes have any substantial change in any direction. I would be thrilled if we are unchanged from now by Friday.

But I am still bullish through the end of the year.
