I'll try it one more time, Puff. I was addressing the rationale you offered for your theory. My point is that the facts on which you based your "theory" were known for months. You were late in getting there, so it should not surprise you that others are not willing to instantly accept your analysis after your longer history as a rather rampant bull. You are also pretty extreme in your bearishness and many people are not psychologically ready to go there. What prompted my initial post to you was the fact that you seem to be getting into it with posters everywhere, some of whom were former colleagues of sorts, because they are reluctant to accept your analysis or disagree with the complete 180 degree turn you seem to have made overnight. Those who have not seen the light according to Puff are dumb, stupid, children and worse. Frankly, I had no particular interest in engaging you on the merits of your argument, but was more interested in supplying a counter- point to your evident hostility and an alternative way of looking at the reaction you're getting. While you probably have a lot on the ball, I sincerely doubt that you are smarter than 99% of the people on SI. I wonder what makes you post a comment like that, particularly on the heels of admitting major losses and an intent to get a full-time job. That kind of thing hurts your credibility. If you're correct about the market now, you will make money, and God bless you and any one else who does what you suggest. I daresay there are those who lost money along with you when the prices that were up a short time ago plunged and you didn't have your bear analysis in place in time. No one is perfect and no one can predict this market with 100% certainty. If that were not so, we'd all be extraordinarily rich. So, we do the best that we can and try not to make things unnecessarily unpleasant along the way. So, my actual message to you is to lighten up, if you can, and act on your theory du jour whatever it may be. And, whatever you do, don't ever call me stupid again!<g> M
