May is typically a down month for the market and summer is typically a lull. In my opinion many stocks are still way under valued and great buys if you are long. I think in the fall the market will take off if we don't have any huge 911 scale of events and next year will be even better. More and more companies are talking about going back to paying out their dividend and/or doing buy backs. International/European/the Euro right now is a great buy. Or there will be complete anarchy, all is worthless and the world ends.
