And there you have it --- notions why there could be a turn around for large-cap stocks. Then again, with the horrible economic State of Debt that the government has put us in and the huge increases in the cost of gasoline, oil, electric, insurance premiums, groceries, and basic costs of living expected because of the ripple effect that the damage from the last two hurricanes have caused, no matter how sweet a company's earnings may look, expecting up-ticks from even the largest and best managed companies on The Street could be wishful thinking.

As always, time will tell. Until then, invest carefully and make sure your cash reserves are easily accessible and well stocked.
