But taking an effective bearish stance means you have to think like the bear, and after lurking some of their lairs, I wouldn't care to. I think their orientation is a reflection of their philosophy on life, and I refuse to adopt a nihilistic outlook. So I'll remain a singed and cautious optimist, hold my core positions, and write front month covered calls during rallies rather than shorting.

So that's the problem! Us optimists do well in Bull markets, but can't navigate a bear market! It make sense.

So now we have to learn to take the optimism and pessimism out of our investing and use just conclusions from the facts. Is that possible?
