Marc Faber: "Extremely Oversold"
Marc Faber:
"We're extremely oversold at the present time,'' Faber said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. "The market is in a position to rebound.''
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index dropped 38 percent from its record 1,565.15 reached Oct. 9, 2007, as investors speculated more than $660 billion in bank losses will spur a recession. The ratio of stocks advancing versus those declining on the New York Stock Exchange fell to a 17-month low on Oct. 15.
Faber said he is holding gold, cash and short-term bonds because inflation will increase as the U.S. government lowers interest rates to stave off an economic slowdown. Gold climbed 5.8 percent from Sept. 11 through yesterday and yields on three- month Treasury bills fell 51 percent over the period.

so.... Barry. If you're bullish, and Faber is bullish. And other notable bears are bullish. And the bulls are shocked, but still bullish at these new and "attractive levels..."
Then who the hell is bearish?
Sounds like an imbalance to me... If you were bullish when everyone else was bearish I would buy it. But it seems to me that everyone and their brother is a bull right now.
