AllansAlias:So true. But what casino ever folded because the house is the net winner ? The gambling ,the rampant bullish speculating, will continue. And it is perpetuated not just by 'investor psychology' but by high volume automated trading systems that don't give a rats a*s about fundamentals. Everyday has an intraday low and an intraday high that spells opportunity for traders. Your posting implies that fundamentals rule. What I'm saying is opportunity rules in the money making business of trading ticker symbols, bonds, commodities, etc.

Allans, but those 3 to 6 weeks rallies are worth playing, look at the gains made between Jan 2nd and the end of Jan, we may have a milder one coming up not too far out (I do not think that these three last days were the beginning, however). In the Jan one I even enjoyed few double baggers (in a month, not too bad in a bear market). Zeev

To all you clown lurkers: You ask yourself how you could have been so wrong after the NASDAQ was hit with that terrible initial shock. You ask yourself how you could have thought that earnings don't matter. You ask yourself how you could have not seen a recession coming. You ask yourself how it is that you did not unload your longs a thousand points higher than where we are now. You wonder about all the times you were pretty sure we were near the bottom. You remember reading tens of bottom calls from other well-known posters that turned out to be wrong. You think of all the surprise announcements from companies you loved. You are puzzled why rate cuts have not yet turned the mother ship. Ask yourself now if your truly believe that we have turned a corner. Is this market ready to discount a recession? This rally may last one more day or three more months for all I know. No matter what you believe, don't take anybody else's word for it and know that money management and trading stops are worth more than a thousand gurus. Allan, That's like telling the pope to ask himself if he really believes in god...If you tell someone everything they know is wrong, they will refuse you even if they know you are right, because what does that make them think of themselves? The human variable will always make this an interesting game, although you manage to detach yourself from it as well as I've seen -g- GFY -vbg-
