...today's loss notwithstanding, big investors may be betting on better news around the corner. "If you believe as I do that we'll be coming out of recession by year end, then this is about the time you would expect to see the start of a cyclical bull market," says Stephen Leuthold, president of Leuthold Group in Minneapolis, a firm with $5 billion in assets. Leuthold has studied stock markets and recessions going back to 1860. "We found that in all but two instances, the stock market began to recover about 50% to 60% of the way through...
...early 1980s, around the time Ronald Reagan became President and Wall Street's great modern bull market began, we started gambling (and winning!) and thinking magically. From 1980 to 2007, the median price of a new American home quadrupled. The Dow Jones industrial average climbed from 803 in the summer of 1982 to 14,165 in the fall of 2007. From the beginning of the '80s through 2007, the share of disposable income that each household spent servicing its mortgage and consumer debt increased 35%. Back in 1982, the average household saved 11% of its disposable income. By 2007 that...
...decades after they ignored the results of the last polls. But for the cease-fire groups to participate in the balloting, the junta requires them to give up their guns.

"We have to defend ourselves," he says. "Otherwise the government will keep taking from us until we have nothing left...
...Sirius (SIRI) is up 7x from its low of $.05 which was set only a month ago. Even Apple (AAPL) has moved up 27% in a very short period of time. There really is not any such thing as a sucker rally. There are only suckers. In the long bull market that stretched over nearly four years, many investors who made five or six times their initial investment did not cash out in 2007. Some did not take even a small part of their gains and put them into CDs or yen futures. They just let the money ride which...
...Rivera is an easy target. The eldest son of Paquirri, a popular matador who was killed in 1984 by a foul-tempered bull named Avispado, he is the grandson of Antonio Ordóñez and the grandnephew of Luis Miguel Dominguín (the two men's rivalry was famously depicted by Ernest Hemingway in The Longest Summer). Rivera and his equally dashing brother Cayetano, also a bullfighter, have modeled for Armani, hawked high-end watches, appeared in the pages of Vogue and been featured on the American news program 60 Minutes. They have also tended toward prominent matches...
