"Thus, most likely, we can brace ourselves for new lows on U.S. and global equities in the next 12 to 18 months." Nouriel Roubini, March 12.
“So, I know a lot of you have stayed in the market the whole time it has been falling and are now wondering what to do. If you have a ten-year time horizon you probably can buy here and do OK. But I wouldn't. I think this market is going to have more problems as we confront the real possibility that we will get some really poor earnings for the first and second quarters.

Even hospitals are being challenged. We could see a real bear market rally lure investors back in, just to crush their hopes this summer.”

-- Bob Janjuah, economist at Royal Bank of Scotland,
