* Compared to survey results from Sept 2008 Investment Manager Outlook poll.
In keeping with the considerable volatility that has been a hallmark of the latter half of 2008, managers have exhibited a greater range of flexibility in their perceptions. Growing bullishness indicates that they see a bottom forming in spite of great uncertainty expressed in early November after the previous month's severe market downturn.
