It also requires one to misuse the proper usage of the word 'fact'. Besides, I usually leave early on Fridays to play Golf, wouldn't occur to me think about that, nor did I say I would. <It must really burn your ass when he's right.> Actually if you read the clown thread from Last Friday through wed. you'll see that I was actually blowing out most of my pooooots.... although I must say my plan was in motion since Friday... so naw, no assburning, just posted re. above. I DO admit I'll never all my pooooooooots because I'm bearish for the next couple of years unless it becomes apparent that somehow the financial bubble that has been deflating since spring somehow manages to reverse course [highly unlikely IMO]. In fact if you continue reading CFZ you'll see I reloaded some yesterday and today although I'm not going to carry a 'full boat' till after or around the holidays due to seasonalities that I'm sure you're aware of. BTW, I'm buying SPX pooots... certainly there are many stocks that will go up during this time period... I just think the easy money will be on the downside now. Anyway, nice of you to post... Oh, and by the way... let's agree to be civil from now on... after all if you re-read the posts you so kindly provided you'll see that by giving V full credit for a great call on the bounce... he actually was predicting far more: <We turn for good Thursday and Friday!> So I think [especially given my very bearish stance stated above] I'm being more than gracious giving V an 'ataboy' in the win column tonight. <See you here during the next dip...> OK!
