These are the people of the dark side. They try to make money by exacerbating an already bad set of market conditions and forcing the longs into a corner and snatching their wealth from them. I don't think those on the dark side have died off yet however, I believe that the confluence of a few bad events can, and will bring them out in force again. I don't think bears can bring a market down by themselves, tehy need those panic creating events to lay the backdrop. And we have not completely turned the corner in the tech economy (where we all are invested). But we are headed for there.. I give it 4 - 6 months of ups and downs, mostly ups, then clear sailing to recovery again. We'll see of course. This turn aorund in the direction of money flow will put so many bears into denial. And they will be trampled (just like it happened to so many bulls when nasdaq was in a free fall. In the end, J.P.Morgan was right when he said "Markets will fluctuate". The only people who were wrong was those who declared that the end of the world and certainly the end of this great country and economy and society was just around the corner. But we know that thhey were either short on the market or in cash hoping, praying that our stock would fall further, so they can get back in cheaper. So they would troll here and other threads creating doubt and uncertainty, hoping that people would believe them and sell their portfolios, helping their agenda. You can read their posts in the shorters' thread.. Best Regards, Sam A.
