there's only one thing one must always keep in mind: manias can end suddenly, with little warning, for the most surprising reasons. i remember e.g. that in '87, rates had been rising all year - no-one paid any attention. it seemed after a while that rates couldn't hurt the market anymore. that assumption was a big mistake...and like the recent break-out in the NYA, we had tech breaking out a mere two days before everything went down the crapper. an analogy today would be the things the market is ostensibly not worrying about at the moment: oil prices, inverted yield curve, trade deficit... i'm just pointing out, that something could strike out of the blue. one has to keep a wary eye on the exit...
