if we don't see a bailout by this weekend i think we can see a 5% drop in all the major indexes come monday.
bailout = inflation + lower dollar + higher taxes

^ do you know what long term mean bro? You can never catch a bottom. Buy some here and if it falls more and you still like the company buy more at a lower price.
Warren Buffet feels like a kid again when the market feels like the end of the world is coming because he get good solid company for a cheap price.
Also, don't you think it was time for a bear market after having so many years of a bull market? Just think long term man, 3-5 years from now you'll have a nicer, fatter, bank account for investing

I would be accumulating metals, energy, agriculture.
we are going to see inflation in the future.
although....if this gets bad enough....like depression style...we could also see deflation.........which then you want foriegn bonds or some sort.

All signals point towards deflation. This will catch many, many people by surprise which is astounding. Wages falling, largest assets falling in value, this isn't rocket science.
This is not to say that commodities can't provide value, but massive sustained run ups will be difficult/impossible without extremely low interest rates etc.
The fed will cut rates at all costs to keep us from getting in to a deflationary period, especially with ben at the wheel. This is why you need some sort of hard asset exposure, if you buy a firm (stock) make sure it has no debt obligations and strong cash flow.
There isn't any easy solution out of this crisis. Even going all cash is actually quite risky.

It's once again that age-old question of whether sit on what you have and watch it deteriorate further, hoping there is a recovery prior to retirement or sell everything at a huge loss which will insure a recovery instantly for the rest of you!
