- When stocks require a $700 billion infusion in order to tread water - is the risk/reward of being long stocks really worth it?
- Granted, there are a lot of quality stocks being thrown out like the proverbial baby with the bath water. If a rising tide lifts all boats, does it follow that a falling tide sinks them?
- If the government is reaction this way with the stock market only off ~20%, what will it do if stocks fall 50%? Stocks are still quite expensive by historical standards - it could be a slippery slope downhill.
- Remember, bull markets in stocks usually begin with P/E's in the single digits, after everyone has thrown in the towel on stocks. I still see everyone in the financial media trying to pick a bottom - not nearly enough desperation for my liking.
- While they rarely ring a bell at the top or bottom, desperation in mainstream publications are often a good start. Remember this BusinessWeek cover from 1979?
- It may not yet be a global recession, but global stock markets look like they are already pricing in a global recession. Stock market action usually precedes normal economic action by 6-9 months - by the time a recession hits the midway point, stocks have usually hit bottom.
- I sure love commodities coming out of this global recession. I have a long buying list, and we already have some very cheap prices staring us in the face. Exhibit A: Cotton futures fell below 60 cents today.

Yes, agree with you, but may be a wait to start shopping, coffee holding over 130.00 but will it hold?
Agree, definitely could be a wait here. Are you a buyer if coffee holds 130?
I think it will break 130, would like to buy in 110-120 range, Cotton may also test lower, good trade of yours on the Soy, and with record low carryover too!
Thanks, only wish I had a little more conviction and had bought a full contract! The low carryover scared me too much though.
Would love to see coffee in that range - we could pyramid that baby all the way north of 200
