This week, we see the departure of DO and TISI from the core list. CF Industries (CF) distributes fertilizers, such as ammonium nitrate and various nitrogen fertilizers. As a side note, it is interesting how many agriculture stocks have gotten on the core list of late. Could this be a fallout from ethanol manufacture?

I am almost finished with one of my Christmas gifts, Financial Reckoning Day: Surviving the Soft Depression of the 21st Century by William Bonner with Addison Wiggin. The thesis of the book is:
- The Fed can't fix every problem in the economy
- We have spent ourselves deeply into debt, both fiscally and personally,
- The population is getting older and will stop spending like drunken sailors,
- In the past, this has caused protected recessions (as recently as Japan a couple of years ago).

The scenario I described is unfolding: the Nasdaq and Dow are making a double bottom at their lows from last summer. There will be a possible penetration of these lows, a possible sucker's rally of 200-400 Dow points, and then a fall in earnest. Stay sharp and be willing to cut losses, hold cash, or go short.
