I also came across Mauldin years ago, followed him for a while, and gave up. For me he is in the same general basket as Hussman and Grantham. There are people for whom the stock market, if not the economy as a whole, must be a kind of morality play.

Though I don't swallow their prognostcations without a chaser, I can find usually something useful in their commentaries. Besides, reading something bearish from time to time is like eating fibre: not intrinsically pleasant, not a good match to your tastes, but probably good for you in the long run if not taken to excess.

The thing that bugs me most about Mr Hussman is that he's 61 and the photo on his web site makes him look 28. It bugs me if he's using an old photo, and bugs me even more if he has that much hair at 61.
