SEPT 4th 1998 I went back Full BULL and thats on record..
I did not turn back bearish until April 14th this year,
but even since then I have gone short term long,
Hell I held the UOPIX for almost a week from 5/24 to
5/28 and it's leveraged long 2x on the ndx.
So I don't feel like some perma bear,
and even Friday I bought the NDX (QQQ) on margin no
less
( for about an hour ) <G>
Hit it for a half a point too.
A lot of the way I say things may make me look more
bearish than I am. I sold the USPIX to soon,( short 2x
the NDX ) but I was getting out of it not so much because
I expect any lasting turn around just that I think I can do
better bouncing in and out of short/long positions with
out it.
What happens when I'm in it if an up day does come my long
bets only offset it's loss in NAV, when I added them up I
could see going full margin I could beat either Fund with
my bets both long or short. If we truly get into a strong
trend instead of this upsidedown go nowhere fast market
I may use them again.

I am often beside myself as I look
at the level of corruption in the market, and have no
doubt one day we will pay a big price for that, but
I'm not about to say when as I don't think any one outside
the money monkey fraternity will know except by luck.
