Freely traded currencies are not predictive of stock market direction. Globally, currencies are a zero sum game. Currency rises or falls don't affect a properly global diversified portfolio very much. Just more dumb fear and panic brought the market down. US assets are cheaper now relative to others. The flow will eventually reverse as soon as people are not mad at us any longer. It always takes some time.

The only fear I have right now is that we will talk ourselves into recession when the rest of the world is doing well. Went shoppin' for a new stove yesterday and there are plenty of people out buying stuff. Retailers have reduced prices on just about everything so inflation is going to still be in check. But I won't be buying retail stocks right now. ;-) The bull market is going to continue. Might be at a slow pace but it will continue. Up a little is always better than down a little or down alot. And up a little is probably better than up a lot right now. I don't think we will make it to Cramer's prediction of DJIA 14500 by year's end but we probably will get back above 14000. The falling dollar does not scare me at all. Fred > Say, Fred, our community theater group is casting for Candide.
