Allan, thanks for the input. I am long (clownish :-)), but haven't done many trades.

As I am long some mid caps but mainly small caps, therefore my interest is in how market breadth changed over the past 5 yrs. I am not interested in any recent data in particular.

BGR's suggestion that the indexed funds will do well over the longer term is of interest to me...not that I necessary believe him just yet.

pearly.

Allan,

This is excellent advice. My own trading has been greatly improved by taking periodic "trading vacations" (a term that I'm borrowing from Jesse Livermore). I think that letting trading money "cool off" is equally valuable whether after a big win or a big loss.
