...front-page buzz and listen to what history and the numbers are saying: the odds are that stocks have further to fall, possibly much further. Short-term relief rallies, based on rays of hope that the worst of the credit crunch is behind us, are head fakes, and proof is easy to find. For example, in July, following the legislation to bail out the mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the markets rallied for four weeks, only to head south again as investors began to realize that the world (not just the U.S.) was probably entering a recession...
