Casaubon,

>>>> This could indeed be the beginning of world peace and shang-ri-la, but I don't buy it. I'm just going to sit out this phase of the market and watch and learn. If it's the beginning of "something beatiful" and a black obelisk appears and we all gather round and start beating our chests as a "new world" emerges, I will be join the party late (maybe sometime next year). This just doesn't match my assessment of reality. <<<<<

So well put. It is the individuals choice whether they want to participate at different risk levels. You could be wrong and the market explodes to the upside from here and you will miss out on the
run, but it was your choice/comfort level in dealing with the market.

Those who are overly bullish will just say BUY-BUY-BUY, and if it goes further up they may remind you of how much money you loss. But they are not telling the truth because you did not lose any money, you
only loss the opportunity to make money - AGAIN YOU DID NOT LOSE MONEY if the market heads higher!!!!!!

My point is not whether the market moves higher or lower, its the point you made the decision of your own choice based on your risk
tolerance level, which more people should do. Many just get consumed by the exuberant emotions of this market. I am directing my point not at the majority of SI readers since I believe they may have a good understanding of risk, but towards the average investor like the college students who are investing their tuition since they think this market can only go up and the many who recently left their jobs and who have not experience in trading the downside.
