AE,

RE: "I have been reading a consistent line of posts on your thread (the ones here are very similar) to the effect that "the market is ready to drop like an overweight Sumo wrestler"

I'll admit I have posted bearish commentary over on the PBM thread, as well as this one, since this rally began. Basically, all things considered, I think the market was very overvalued in March, and exceedingly overvalued now. Sensing that a mini-mania has been in progress, I have waited until recently to really pile on the short positions.

Sure, it would have been profitable to be bullish during this rally. But personally, I can't stand the "Greater Fool" investing theory, where people recklessly throw money at overvalued securities or "junk", hoping/assuming that some other reckless or uninformed investor will buy the stuff at yet higher prices.

I have taken some hits to the short positions. However, if I am right as to the levels of overvaluation, and how this rather outlandish situation will be resolved, I'm sure that the returns will be very handsome.
