Chic until next week it will be dificult to asertain what is real in the market and what is manipulated. In Japan, and for the march quarter the tape painting is going full tilt. To boot the tax selling issue is a concern as well. Will get that stinking rally, but probably not until late april early MAY.

Of course there is no guarantee.

Yes, the board used to be a den of bears.

We are all trying to keep an open mind.

Can you imagine the shit-kicking we would give each other if we stayed short through a 1000 point advance. Those who do that will have to do it quietly, cause they'll get lots of flack from posters here. That's the difference between a perma board and a non-perma board.

BTW, I think your point about "everybody having their day in the sun" is just pablum and helps nobody, particularly the permabulls. It reinforces the notion that holding hard views is normal and we all get our turn. Nonsense.

It's not about being right or wrong -- it's about learning to change, managing risk, and controlling your losses.

Sincerely.

Chic:

You have eloquently voiced my own personal equation.

At this end, the worry list refuses to shrink, in spite of decent returns.

The most haunting worry is the fact that only a handful of bears actually survive a crash, never mind make serious dough.

Bear markets are not for wimps, that is for sure. (g)

Still, as is the case in combat, we all believe (hope) that our skills and a bit of luck may see us through the ugly periods.

Got flak jacket? (g)

Best, Earlie
