Bullsky. We are in a Bear Market. We've discussed that a great deal here. That doesn't mean 100% cash is the only approach or necessarily even the best one for you to deal with the circumstances we find ourselves in. But it's your choice to make and mine to respect. The question of what evidences the building of an Intermediate Term bottom and a subsequent good Bear Market rally entails a good deal more than a look at Insider activity. I really don't have the time to go through the whole 9 yards of how I work through coming to my decisions about that because: 1. A lot of it is proprietary stuff that I dont' share with anybody and 2. You probably wouldn't be much interested in my maverick and somewhat eccentric approach to reading the market(g). And besides, feel under no complusion to convince others to do what I do. It would probably make most people almost as crazy as I am to even try, LOL! Not all of us have the same risk profile, holding period, temperment or investment objectives. Big Dog, Slider, Roebear, you and I all have come up with somewhat different answers on how to respond to the scenarios each of us envisions unfolding in the weeks and months ahead. And when looked at from the broadest possible perspective? The interesting thing is that - once we grant that each of us will make at least a few mistakes of omission and/or commission(G)- each of our different investment/trading plans can serve our specific needs quite well over time. In that sense there is no right or wrong except in the ST when it's the easiest to make mistakes (for me at least). On that philosophical thought, am packing it in for the night.
