Years ago, when I started investing (a now quaint term, I know), I loved doing FA on companies. All the best investment books championed that idea, and whats-his-name in Omaha seemed to do well using that approach.

I'm with you in that respect. Fundamentals now longer seem to matter in this mania, just momentum and psychology, "sweetened" with questionable earnings.

As for going short the QQQ several weeks ago, one should keep in mind that pension money generally finds its way into the market in early January, making any short position in the big caps particularly dangerous.

Nothing scarier than pension funds with billions that they HAVE TO invest, no matter where the market is.
