At the S&P 500 Index all-time-record-high of last October, Brinker was looking for new highs and predicting it would trade in the mid-1600's range.

May 31, 2008 he was bashing bad-news bears for "scaring people" out of the market and calling them "false prophets."

As Jody commented about my last post: "So much for that idea. The S&P just closed at 1244, which is 20.5% lower than 1565."

So where are we now?
.

The Dow is now down over 21% since the October high.
.
The Nasdaq is now down over 21% since the October high.

The S&P 500 Index is now down 20.5% since the October high.
