Been a rough month or two. Heck, it's been a rough 7+ years under Bush for the market. But this year has really been tough to make any money in. Almost better to just pull out and throw into one of those online savings accounts till things bowl over.

Longs have been massacred, shorts thrived this past year.

I know a lot of people who thought the last 11 years would have gone a lot differently.

But than you can talk to a lot of other people who will tell you the last 11 years have been great..

Historically, this is the 10th worst bear market of all time, as far as the Dow goes.

Or to the smart investor, the 10th greatest buying opportunity of all time.
