>> Sure I'm hating this market. Aren't you? The only reason I might have to hate this down draft is that it caught me fully invested (just like the previous 3). But I thought you had 55% cash. So if you hate low prices, when will your system allow you to buy ? at breakout peaks ? At pullbacks from all time high ? when the 20 day moving average crosses the the 50 day in an upward motion and sweeps past the 200 day and makes a sharp left bank ? Or do you have a simpler system, like when stock prices respond positively to analyst upgrade/re-it ? I think that if you are hating this market while sitting on a ton of cash, it means you don't have confidence in any system. How about this simple system. Buy when WH buys, sell when HJ sells, and trade when Jan does. If Mark F would post more often, we could probably fit him into this system, also. Actually the simplest system might be the most spectacularly successful. Just do the opposite of what I do.

Sure I'm hating this market. Aren't you? Not really. The market has given me a chance to take positions in good firms at more reasonable prices. The market is a long term place for me so this is fine.

Robert,re:"Hate this market". Do what the 'former car lease salesman' (somehow I read that as used car salesman) does -> Make 25 Million as a goal. These are up-and-coming 'new-economy' investors. The old-economyy investors (the kind of looking at fundamental, failure analysis, revenue growth, ... profit margins ... listen to the analysts ) are DEAD. Especially the ones who listen to 'analysts'. These analysts are smart, the problem with 'analysts' is that they only tell you the 'past'. You seldom hear them saying: 'we are starting to dump'. I believe the biggest variables in the equation is: Money Supply --> Al the greenman and the attitude of the FED. We have lost a lot of liquidity(capitals) to the 'con-guys', how and if the FED can get it back and just print more money.
