Hi Zeev,
Do you have a road map for the next couple of weeks should you be so kind to share it with me?
Thanks,

It worked in Japan too. The problem is, its still landing softly some 20+ years later. I think mention of the words 'buy and hold' are considered vulgar over there, whilst the word 'hopeful' can be best described as our situation.

I think ours lasts about half as long (I think you've mentioned it'll be about a 10-year bear also), but there'll probably be the same kind towel throwing parties as over there, here, bringing us to the same destination in sentiment.

Zeev, how would you define the end of a bear market exactly?

Look how the Naz was brought softly from 5300 plus to around 1100 or so without causing any major economic dislocation, that is indeed "soft landing".

Suspect whether the economic dislocation is major or not, depends on where you look. I don't know what it's like in the various Silicon this and thats around the country (pockets of high tech), but in the grand daddy, Silicon Valley, the economic dislocation isn't major, it's devastating.

and another spurt of increase in the general standard of living not just in the US, but an increasing part of the world population

1) What is your timeframe for this
2) Where are the US jobs to support this going to come from

No one ever answers me about jobs.
