m...3 - What has to happen for to you to become bearish? John. P.S. Until early this year yours truly was an ultra-perma-bull. Starting '91, threw big chunk of two-tech-income family savings into the market, long! Unwound this year as posted. Tax bite was a bitter pill! But my reasoning was simple: the price people were paying to buy in was way out of proportion to the economic returns that could be expected. So I executed a fairly radical shift to hold a defensive portfolio my Grandfather would be proud of. Since then, some has been wounded, but net has gone steadily upwards while the tech market's gone to heck in a handbasket. Apparently you can't "invest" in a bear market. But you can avoid having it evaporate! My perspective is not dependent solely upon my own internal gyroscope. I set it based on the market. Long ago as a boy-scout I learned that if you fall into a river you are better off swimming with the current than against it. Current's strong downhill right now. Hope it reverses course, or we're in for a heap of trouble. John.
