I have a better question..... who is gonna keep on buying? and At what level will they stop... Answer: The exact same people who got burned are the same one who now think they cant possibly lose and they will slowly do the same exact things wrong the did before and they will get the exact same results.. To belive that all is better now and all uphill..is naiive..and EXACTLY what you are supposed top believe.. Every sinlge mom and pop..is thinkin and feelin the same way ........ I believe in being 90% cash right now and trading stuff on the short side as stuff gets overpriced again.. We arent gonna see CSCO at 100 for a long long long time and as such I think the mkt is just foolin itself again. Anyway it doesnt really matter to me if teh NAZ is 2000, 1000, or 4,000 It doesnt change the way I trade or my results. Timing the mkt is a fools game......

Zen, someone we all know very well taught me something years ago that saved me from going bust in the markets. A simple statement regarding returns: If your doing 100-200% returns? your doing it wrong.. and you WILL go bust. your gambling.. Im no longer impressed with the overnight riches stories. Any person off the street can take all their money, put it into a penny stock and if he/she is lucky as all hell? they find an EDIG and make millions.. I can go to Atlantic City and have better odds.. If your wrong about the upcoming quarter, will you go bust? How is your money allocated?? Lets be realistic- if you can manage your money properly and make some good calls throughout the year? give me 20% consistently for 10-20 years and ill be a very VERY happy retired man. How many people from the 'kimberly' days have gone bust? Judging by the activity on s/i and rb/yahoo etc etc, ill bet alot of people wish they listened to Tonys tapes on asset allocation.. Hey- incidentally, you mention that alot of people are bearish on the semis? I have alot of time on my hands this weekend (obviously) and I gotta tell you- the shorts are actually the minority opinion right now. The media, the internet- everyone seems to feel its time to raise the bull flag and party again... but you definately will have to rely on real buyers this week because most shorts are waiting on the sidelines to see what shakes.. Remember, we have been through the bubble days and have alot of experience.. For most bulls, this last 6 months has really only been their first taste of reality in years.. before most of them started investing. Where is it written that the markets have to snap back and recover huge percentages of their loses simply because things look cheap?
