Lots of gnashing of teeth over on the Mark-to-Market board....Buddha had a post busted, and sez he's gonna cut out posting, Mark sez he's gonna stop posting all trades and cut down his commentary. The same kind of stuff we see here when we get close to a top, bear vs. bear. Hard to call a top unless we just finished a three day wonder. I may start to scale in on some poots tomorrow....

This commentary (From "Soup" on the Mark-to-Market board) was spot-on, though:

I always Undertrade, so I will be able to fight tommorrows battle. But in 20+ , years watching both the bond and stock mkts I have not come close to witnessing what is presently going on. I will not repeat all the insane situations, as Mark as done so very well. THis is jut incredible. I was around during the great bond bear market, 14% yld on the bond, those days were days of capitulation, of fear and loathing. Most folks would not touch the long bond with a 10 foot pole, as it was surely going to 20%; the institutional crowd all had durations well shorter than the mkts, everyone packed in 2 year ust. All the signs that a great new bull mkt was about to begin were present. Compare and contrast that to todays mentality regarding equities. I grant you not many are throwin new money in, but has anybody sold? Will anyone admit they were wrong? Will anyone take a loss?
