Chris, the difference is that the bears have the two F's on their side: Facts and Finance. If somebody can provide me with FACTS and LOGICAL reasoning, I'd be happy to listen. But that hasn't been the case, the bulls work on emotion, the bears work on intellect. I wouldn't count the bear maket over with after 10 months, especially when the bulls had their party for over 5 years.

Chris, I can't speak for all of us, but I was a Clown Bull until about spring/summer of 2000. You only would need to go back to the time I joined SI and read my posts to see that. Why do you see it as once a bear, always a bear? Once a bull, always a bull? Many of us are just adapting to the environment, I know John falls into this category. Investing on "hope" is a certain way to lose money. Investing in what is actually happening and is going to happen is how money is made, even though I "hope" the outcome I see doesn't come true. BTW- I can't wait for the day I can be bullish. Being short is too stressful, even on a day when the Comp and Naz are making fresh lows. chic
