From what I can see almost all of these articles are from March 9/10...about the time the market hit rock bottom (at least so far). So clearly investor sentiment was low then and the outlook wasn't nearly as positive as it is today in most peoples eyes.

I am not disagreeing that we could still drop a fair amount; I'm not sure that puts the TSX back in the 7000's, but its possible of course. I just think that to base a potential market drop on information from these dates is kind of pointless?
