One thing that no one has offered as fuel for a rally is the
fact that there is an election coming in Nov. which has got to have
some bearing on the direction of the market. Obama is going
to want to see some kind of rally for him to benefit from.
What does history say about election years and market rallies?

is what Obama wants to drive down the cost of fuel and to get
re-elected. he knows people vote with their wallets, my guess
is he doesnt care about the stock market at all.

looks like we have not made much progress from 2000 and are down
slightly (or maybe even with dividends)! I 'm
concerned the demographics in the US will make stiff headwinds
going forward for the bulls. A lot of the boomers who are
retiring and there are a ton, want income and cannot afford to lose
any more money. Great time to be in the medical field
with all those boomers! Housing market is a bust and will be
for a long time....boomers moving into retirement
communities/villas and the younger generation doesnt want to own a
home...give them a recliner, a tv, computer, iPhone and they are
happy.
my friend just told me his wife got
her first iPad and he's now an iPad widow....lol
