Hello Mohan
Obviously you have the right to say and do what ever you want to...I think you can read that very thought in my post to you...
It's seems to me that your reply was more of a defensive post.. You don't have to defend your current position, it's not necessary...It's what you believe to be true, and your trading, based on that assumption...
My only real point was that in order to make money in the markets for retirement, you have to be long the market and not short...Period...
Mohan despite the dips, corrections, bear markets, crashes etc, if you stayed the course over the long haul, we all would have been better off...Who is nimble enough to really be successful in trading these markets, certainly not me, and not you, and not 95% of the people out there..
But if your going to be sucessful in earning the rewards of investing it has to be thru buying and holding the premier value companys..
Nothing goes up or down in a straight line, nothing!!! Hey this run has been nothing short of incredible...But the recent volitility has me totally confused... It cost me a lot of profits in the last 2 months or so...I'm moving to the side lines till i feel more comfortable like I did last Nov and again in Apr...This is suicide at best...
The market noise, the SI noise, the CNBC noise, etc etc can fog over anyones perspective as to direction of the markets and stocks...Not a good senario...
I think that anyones ideas and perspecives should be up front and out there for what ever the reason...No one is 100% right or wrong..That's why there are bulls and bears...
Anyway i wish you good luck as well...This is a tough way to make a buck right now...
My Regards to you, Jerry |
