Paul Kreisel is one of the best economists I have read. He is thorough like Richebacher (sp) and Grant. The big problem I have had in the recent past is that - all this material made so much sense to me that I could not bring myself to buy many stocks of some good companies as I thought of them as over valued and vulnerable. Most recent of my winners is Centocor, which I sold a week before they were acquired - bummberr. Your investment strategy sounds like a prudent strategy. As long as you don't need your capital in the next, say 5 years, you should be OK. IMO. I, OTOH, go both long and short. For a majority of the time in the last 2 years I was short. But my best gains were and are from longs only. Though I am bearish, I am more a speculator (or should I say trader) than an 'investor.' Well, in this market I can;t phantom being long for too long. I know the inevitable results of any extended mania. An orderly retreat is almost impossible. The exit doors will be jammed and the markets will take no prisoners - including many bears (not sure I can help it) - guaranteed.
