<<Who tells you were the dip ends and the rally begins? You can't know but the pro's would lead you to believe that they do.>>

Ron, I only listen to me and what my eyes and ears tell me. I don't listen to the "pros" (well, Greg is an exception).

I only trade stocks that I have in depth knowledge of. As such I can see dips and rallies quite well. Last week was a good example.

I haven't had a losing trade since 1998, now almost 90 straight. I pick my spots, of course, and don't trade every day.

<<The pro's take no risk and gain all the rewards. The lemmings jump without a net. You buy on dips and sell on rallies? Who tells you were the dip ends and the rally begins? You can't know but the pro's would lead you to believe that they do.>>
Wow, you sound pretty bitter about some past experience... btw, the pro's take PLENTY of risk. the good ones have their money right alongside their clients'...

<<You are assuming there is no difference between bearish sentiment and a true bear market>>
hit the books, again... what exactly do you think constitutes a bear market? if you said a 20% or more decline, you'd be correct.... and, at this juncture, we're down 25%.
