The only group that gets it right in that article:

"Dresdner Kleinwort last week shifted its asset allocation to ``more aggressively underweight'' equities, and predicted ``an imminent shakeout of at least 10 percent.'' Dresdner has had a ``structural underweight'' in stocks since October 1996 relative to bonds and said last July that the S&P 500 may tumble as much as 40 percent in the event of a recession."

I guess most rallies from here on in may be the chance to get rid of longs and go short.....
