What kind of a prediction is that? I would expect something like 'In my view market would end 2008 flat from this point, with potential rebound mid 2009-early 2010. Oh and by the way REITs are the place to be!!!' Now this in my view would be a forecast/prediction/opinion. However, I will give a BIG credit for a very detailed explanation of what will be happening in the next 10yrs. You got a good investing style and great ideas. Do not step down to the level of most "financial proffesionals", who use vague tactics. V,

While Ben Graham makes a lot of sense and his model is most likely a safe way, it seems a bit too passive. After reading The Intelligent Investor, I was looking for something more active. The title "Active Value Investing" kind of hit the right spot :) If a practical question to the author is allowed, doesn't Nokia seem like a great stock at the moment? As far as I've noticed, the quality is there, growth has been great lately, and valuation just dropped by 15 % after Q1 results that didn't actually seem too bad.

There's nothing spectacularly orginal. By the way, the term "range-bound market" is mostly coined by newbie traders in the financial markets, and it misleads many away from consistently profitable trading.
