Flip flops are motivated in many cases... journalists are paid by vested interests to place articles such as this. It is not dissimilar to the spate of articles in ET, BS, FE, etc. which urge small investors to sink in whatever they are left with in dud stocks which are going to plunge even further. Even the most optimistic analyst in USA is not saying we are at the bottom of the recession. All forecasts are saying we will have the worst year on recrd. It will be downright foolish to sink in hard earned money at today's prices...
