David Tice: S&P500 Below 800 ?
Not my favorite Bear -- but give credit to Bloomberg for the timing of this interview:
David Tice, founder of the $1.2 billion Prudent Bear Fund in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, discusses the U.S. equity market. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index may drop below 800 as the economy slows, he said. The benchmark for U.S. stocks fell 2.3 percent today to 1,244.69, sending the index into its first so- called bear market since 2002.
On the market's decline: "We sometimes we use the word `depression' because a recession connotes really just an inventory adjustment, etc. What we're talking about doesn't have to be as bad as the Great Depression, but it's a major long-term readjustment of the economy.''
