Do you believe them? and if this represents what people are thinking about the income prospect for the DOW 30...the story is not what they are putting out on CNBS.
The last time I saw funds collapsing like this...was when Hedgefunds were going down because they had illiquid mortgage backed securities on their books...if you believed that reason then the you can believe what you want now. Those blow ups started in 2007 and now we have this - timed right with the highs in the market...and on heavy volume too. NOT A GOOD SIGN TO SAY THE LEAST. Best to be very careful, about adopting bullish positions.
