Jim Cramer with a timely bit, directed at the likes of Abby Joe and Bat-Man, though this probably applies to someone else we know (emphases mine):

Part of my screed against these perma-bulls is based on their lack of humility about what has occurred and the wrath that this market has visited upon the majority of stock investors. But some of it rests more on what I know will inevitably happen: One day the market will go back up again and Joe and Abby (and Bill) are going to be high-fiving and acknowledging that they, alone, got you through the tough times.

The job is not to get you through the tough times. It is to avoid them, sidestep them, and wait for better times. That's called investing. It's something I am good at. I want you to be good at it, too. Listening to perennial bulls or bears might, at times, be entertaining, and at times painful even, but it is no more right than a broken clock. Twice a day you are a genius. Except when the clocks move forward, like this weekend. Then you aren't even right twice. That's not a record with which to aspire.
