    As I write:

    1) the Dow is heading for it's best week since 2003. Up on the week over 5% (market still open)

    2) Warren Buffett is about to move his personal money 100% into US equities.
    On previous occasions when he has turned bullish on stocks, the market has rallied three months later ie: he is normally 3 months early.

    3) Credit markets are starting to thaw. Libor is coming down (slowly)

    4) A new US President soon

    thats why I have always subscribed to continous buying during the last few months. anyone waiting for a recovery will find themselves missing the first 50% of the bull run.

    Murphy's Law, now that you've said that it's going to crash again...
    October is always a bad month :(

    I think any upward momentum is likely to be tempered by caution during earnings season and in the run up to the US elections.
    However I do think we could be in line for a nice Santa Claus rally this year.
