Hi NYCB, Comrade, I was getting worried for you and despondent that you have forgotten us. Welcome back. Yup, this thread is pretty tolerant of different views, I think for two reasons, (a) folks are less religious about the specific stocks, (b) folks are more fun oriented. Same is true of the Clown thread, although the folks there are trying to make a dollar (some are very good at it) during the day time and best not be disturbed, much as spectating at a golf or chess game. While watching those folks, I feel positively inadequate, but entertained none the less.
The bear market always sucks in more good but greedy money, with the nimble making much, and the slow getting more pulverized than they otherwise would have. It is just as well, as it helps the cleansing process to achieve a deeper and wider state of clean.
Reading RR's article is like listening to ourselves rant, and makes me wonder whether we are being too harsh on the market health, and then I fondled my platinum bar paper weight and sobered up.
Don't forget, we are on the lookout to make safe and sure money, not via trading day-by-day, but maybe month-by-month. The trading year-by-year will not be in vogue for quite some time if safety is a concern. Then again, an opportunistic speculative raid (trading week-by-week) here and there should always be considered.
BTW, what got you put in jail? Chugs, Jay |
