Marc Do you remember this board being so Bearish? I've made more money the past 9 months than I would have dreamed possible... and I am worried too. Could this actually be a good sign? I heard on the tape that Bob said he didn't think the rally would go to a 13 or 14 number, but he left out the 12 number. Still some good upside left? Could we be getting over diligent? Could earnings come in strong and the Fed's already apparent liquidity tightening help the economic and valuation "concerns"? Maybe we should take this 4th of July holiday to celebrate this great nation and what is possible for a free people to do in a free market and enjoy our profits and wait until Tuesday to worry? 8) Happy 4th of July!

yep your correct I have 35% out looking for some dip but I feel better (I am in my mid 50's ) and sleep better so if miss some top I have done worse by trying to time the market and had to much involved. you correct no one has ever gone broke taking profit. Unless their spouse finds out how much is in money market and says lets refinish the house or buy a car.. or go on a trip etc. stock is abstract -- money market is not. Dave

sentiment numbers(raw numbers as per CNBC) bulls 52.6 bears 27.2 bulls/(bulls+bears)=65.91 substantial drop from 68.47 last week assuming numbers correct and no reason to doubt them obviously a surprise with bullish sentiment suddenly dropping to lowest level since May 12th in face of monster rally last week. I won't go way out of my way to dismiss this number after I've considered it important enough to post weekly but I would certainly like to see next week's number and keep an eye on the extreme bullish P/C ratio before taking this number as a bullish development. I am not quite ready to say "if the sentiment numbers don't fit, the bull market you must acquit" Marc
