Yes the market as a whole for 2008 will continue to perform poorly but
that does not mean every single stock will do so also. Why do most
people only see things in black and white and not discuss the grey
areas?
Believe it or not there were stocks in 2007 that made a 25% return
seem small and there will also be stocks in 2008 that will do the
same.
Where we will be getting screwed mainly is our next President will
probably be a Republican, (I don't think this country is ready for
either an African American or a Women to be President) so we will
continue to have differing political parties in the White House and
Congress hampering any type of progress as a result.
