I benchmark my performance against the main indexes and the leading mutual funds. To me, that's the difference between dumb luck and added-value trading. I also maintain a very diversified portfolio and avoid most of the screamers that Grumpy and his buddies like to complain about so much. My point is that there is a "quality" bull market in tech companies whose products are becoming key components of the communications revolution. Other people dismiss the whole show as a crazy bubble. Other people think there is no technological revolution, so bedrock industrial and financial companies are the only valid measure of the market. If they just keep predicting the end often enough, eventually they feel they must be right. I have heard the argument a few hundred times too often in the past three years. Big crash, just around the corner, unavoidable, etc. All very dramatic and all pretty worthless for real trading and planning, without a useful time frame. Differences make a market.
