My new trading motto: A speculator must concern himself with making money out of the market and not insisting that the market AGREE with him. NEVER argue with it or ask of it reasons or explanations. Stock market post-mortems dont pay dividends!!!

Puff crossed the line too often for about a week+.....I like the guy and agree with what he was saying, but he got a bit carried away. I'd also urge any/everyone not to assume we are in a bear market, much like no one should assume the bull market will go on forever. It could still go either way and it's much too soon to tell.....But, I think we need to play it either way and go with the direction the market will take us. Obviously the market is in a downtrend, but for a sustained bear market to occur, I believe we will need a real life economic event, such as continued signs of inflation growth etc... I for one will continue to play the market as if the both the continuation of the bull market and a sustained bear market are possibilities. As everyone that reads this thread is well aware, now is not the time to be an investor. As traders though, the next few months could bring about great possiblities. a little pissed at myself this evening for "only" being in 75% cash......thought Monday could have gone either way until Mr. Softie had that dour CC. Off to bed......should be a very interesting week.

Not necessarily as fast as you may think. The US dollar has to subside and money supply has to decrease. We're definitely heading in that direction though. I think we will have rallies throughout the year, but ultimately next year is when we will see the true bear market IMO. Here's an interesting post on Market Direction. Message 13483082 The bottom line is this....oil still runs our markets no matter what anyone tries to tell you(very surprised no one has discussed gas prices, in terms of it's impact). No economy can continue to steam ahead when gas prices are up 50%. Joe Battipaglia said the last CPI # was a one-time event. I totally disagree. I believe the CPI this Thursday will be just as bad. Gas prices HAVE NOT come down one bit. Try paying 1.81c/gallon like I did last night in Orlando. Believe me...this will hit all the balance sheets come the end of this year. KM
