i am short off and on beebs, i didn't short the spoos at last yrs low and then sit on them... LOL!!! but yes, i am in poots rt now and still own my golds. I've sold out of Japan, admittedly early, but the doubles and triples weren't bad for less than ayear's work. I look forward to buying again on the coming half-off sale i seem stubborn to you and just wailing blindly away at this rocket ship (and there may be some truth to that at times -g-) because you don't know how close we've been to imploding over the last several months because you don't understand what is going on.... you just watch your little charts and do what they tell you and that's been great.... you've rolled in the dough because knowing fundamentals and attempting to discount things has been a losing game for the last year or more. That's just the way mkts are, they flipflop between extremes. For the last year, the dumber you were and more risk you took on.. the better you did (not you specifically). problem is, when this thing goes, it will be for fundamental reasons (currency to be specific) and will catch all those who appeared to be masters of the universe on thi slast run with their pants down. more than likely you will be caught the wrong way if you just follow the little squigglies along w/ the rest of the herd. maybe you won't, but we'll see. the trick will be to alter your behavior and do some work and attempt to change with the mkt. I probably should have myself, but i hate this mania so much that i won't participate... besides.. i think the downside profit will be so big, that i won't miss this last run too much.
