While
it is exceptionally difficult to forecast stock markets dips and bounces, I
believe it pays to keep an eye on the reality of the current situation.  When I assess the points below, I feel confident that investors owning the
stock of great companies will be rewarded in the future:

• The stock market
  appears to have resumed its positive up-trend.
• Banks and credit
  markets are stable.
• Employment data
  is improving.
• The U.S. is
  having an energy “revolution”.
• Loan demand is
  picking up.
• Corporate
  profits remain strong.
• Low inflation
  continues.
• GDP is growing.
• Consumers
  continue to pay down their debts.
• Many Economies
  around the world are growing.
• Manufacturing is
  strengthening.
