Is the stockmarket bottoming out?

We won't know the bottom until well after it hits. Market timing is a matter of pure luck. Best off developing a sound strategy and sticking to it. Good Luck.

Only history will tell us this. Calling bottoms is very very hard. It is much easier to call market tops - at least in my 19 years of professional market experience.

The reason why is there is psychology at play where we don't know how much people will panic at the bottom.

If you are looking to buy, it depends on your risk tolerance, time horizon, and over all financial objectives.

If you are looking 10+ years out and for long term growth, I would be dollar cost averaging into the S&P 500 Index.

I would also do this in a Roth IRA.

Personally, I think it is funny at all the TV talkers trying to prop up the market every day.

I think there is some improvement, but it is not over yet. If this were true, we would have the shortest bear market in history with the 2nd largest credit crisis since the Great Depression and we did all this with no recession? That just doesn't add up for me.

Also note:
Take a look at the terms of the JPM BSC deal. JPM is borrowing $29B from the FED for BSC's currently bad real estate loans. The FED made this loan at 2 1/2% (somewhat adjustable - little tricky here), but the life of the loan is 10 years. (Reported CNBC Fast Money TV 03-21-2008)

To me, this says that JPM will need up to 10 years to turn around the bad loans, and some will default. The implication is that the real estate market may not turn around fully for up to 10 years.

Historically the real estate market trends in 13 year cycles from peak to peak. If the down turn first began in 2006, and JPM has a 10 year loan starting in 2008, that would cycle the real estate market to about 12 years (2 years from when prob began plus 10 year FED loan) , just 1 year shy of the average 13 year cycle.

JPM knows this. JPM got a great deal from the FED. JPM will likely make out very well.

Not yet. There's another leg down, with financials leading the rout. The market will turn up in late May.

No, it is just picking up because summer is approaching.

I think you'll see the real bottom hit in October/November 08

Once home sales are done with for the summer season because people tend to buy homes after thier kids get out of school and move. Youll see the housing market flop harder because then you'll have the left over housing that didn't sell and it may bottom out then.
I believe this ralley is because you have the Visa IPo that came out this week, which maybe it didn't really matter but it seems to have picked up the market along with The Fed Cut and the JP Morgan deal . All of those factors seemed to get people jumpin. The summer may help lift things but I am cautious of the fall, Plus new President coming in-

Lot of factors to watch

Time will tell. The problem is bottoms is that they can only be seen in the rear view mirror.

I agree with NetAdviser. I think there has not been a real panic set in yet. Jim Cramer said he is waiting until there is at least 1 run on a bank, and that hasn't happened yet, not that Jim Cramer is often right in his predictions. All the experts have been saying that the market should turn around in the spring, but I think their call may be a little early. I am looking at this recent bounce as a possible chance to pick up metals and commodities at a little bit of a discount, and recently purchased some QID to balance the risk in my Long portfolio. Also, I am looking at the dollar to fall further, perhaps to close to $1.75/Euro. If it hits near that rate, I will start to buy dollars, because there may be some intervention to stop the slide.

Stocks and markets go up and down and nobody and I mean nobody knows when they are going to change. They study the market, interest rates, consumer confidence, read tea leaves and flip a coin. They don't know. Look at large companies that have the money to build super computer programs and hire the best experts and they are writing off billions and having hedge funds go under etc. I am in the industry and can't believe people actually listen to this well meaning noise.

Please do yourself a favor and ignore all the "experts" and pudnits about when the market will do anything. Do you hear what they say it sounds like astrology "well I think we are in for a bit of a rough patch but I am optimistic that late this year or early next year..." They are often smart, well meaning people who are giving you their best guess -- but it isn't worth much.

How may "experts" picked that the market would go up about 10% in the last week despite all the bad news??

Have some money taken out of your pay each payday and invest it in a well diversified group of funds (preferably index funds), rebalance it every year or two and find some excitement elsewhere.

Good Luck

no it's not, in order to bottom out you have to be in the neg. and the stockmarket has yet to that and asa far as people that are screaming recesson that is a bunch of bull your stocks have to be a neg.-2 and it hasn't been, its just the media at work.
