Now seriously though Mohan, are you completely out of the market. I mean froth and CNBC cheer leading aside, there are stocks that are trading at reasonable multiples, low p/e etc. and buying and holding for 6-12 months will give you easy 50-100%. ... As long as you stay away from the internuts, you would not be mauled.... FWIW

Soros got very rich, in part, by believing the Market was always wrong. It almost never prices anything correctly. It's too high or too low. So he attempted to see the bigger picture, to know with greater precision where the market was most likely to go. He also holds another belief, the key one, IMO. He also believes that he may always be wrong. He continually seeks evidence to prove that the beliefs he holds are incorrect. Mohan, It sounds as if you have held beliefs that are out of step with the market. It seems that you may have done this for a very long time. It further seems that your personal wealth may not have appreciated as much as you desire. I suggest that you look somewhere a little closer to home to better understand this. Seek not the answer in Mark Haines, Joe Kernen, CNBC or anything external. Start first by looking in the mirror. JMHO, Ian.
