Did you listen to him? If so, and you stayed out of the market because of it, it's called "contributory negligence" in legalese. I myself missed this rise because I felt unsure and wasn't willing to expose the funds I was managing, given the valuations and overall market conditions. To put it another way, the risk/reward ratio was unfavorable by my assessment. I'm not certain the assessment was wrong, but I was wrong by not investing. During the past 2 months I read a different thread, most of which was bearish. Sometimes I had the urge to say, "Gee, if I hadn't been reading this thread I'd have invested in the market and made a bundle." In actuality, I don't think I would have. I think sometimes we are all guilty of looking for reasons (posts and posters) which justify our actions.
