<<a bubbleonian is happy because of a 30% rally even if he is still down 30% on the year and 90% from his all-time hihg. a bear, or rather a rational person, looks at fundamental values and understands that even a market of crappy stocks like we have in certian amreican IT cos can rally like hell, the crappier hte better. but that doesn't change underlying value 1 iota. >>

So, there are only "bubbleonians" and bears, and only the bears are rational and able to calculate the value of a company.

Well that is quite a conclusion. First of all, in terms of rationality, the market goes up approximately about twice as much as it goes down, so is it really irrational to be a Bull ?

Is there no room for a pragmatist ? One who makes rational decisions about current price versus future value ?

BTW, being a bear can be just as much of a trap as can being a bull...there are reams of bears who are right once every business cycle. Big deal!
