OK. I can take it into account, but I like to trade, so this is not for me. I am now convinced that the way Jim Cramer trades is the way to go. Keep yourself no LESS than 1/2 invested. When things turn down, buy em. When they turn up, sell that half. Go on margin when things are bearish and sell that part into the euphoria. I have practiced this method for the last 2 years, and it worked well for me. When I made 50 percent in profits back in May, I cut way back on stocks. I am up to just over 60 now for the year, and regret nothing. When everyone was screaming "nuts!!" about the nutz in Jan-Feb, I was on margin and made most of my money for the year in the first 8 weeks. I definitely think that if you listen to too many bears, you'll be out of the market too often. Investing is just an expression of mone's personality. This is why so many people take it personally when criticized. And I am not bragging here: there are people who've done much better than I have. I am just an amateur, with no one to beat but myself. ::))))
