Hi Pezz, do not feel lonesome, you have lots of companions rushing about you, ahead of you, over you, and following you. The thread is quiet because we are enjoying the spectacle of lemmings rushing towards the cliff, and I think I see you, rushing into small-cap health services and such, which may enjoy a bit of an upside given that inflation is the next bull boom bull bubble, for awhile, before folks realize, invariably too late, that most customers have less than USD 50k put aside for their golden years. What can USD 50k buy? After inflation? Oh yes, I remember, enough small caps to 10 bag over years gone by. You may get your 10 bagger again, but the amount may only pay for a new 5 SUVs plus a 5 nice watches. The massive and irresponsible flood of liquidity released by Uncle Greenspan is allowing a worse bubble to inflate out of the tech capacity capex bubble, carrying all, not just the tech investors, to the fall. [EDIT: let us not spend any time debating whether inflation is worsening or not] I am actually happily observing (besides working to take some cash away from clients who are insisting on making me better off) and am thankful I have been given more time to prepare for the fall, and am doubly happy that more foolish money is being shovelled into the furnace to keep the dream warm (not hot, as in Nasdaq 5000, but warm, as in Nasdaq 2500) for a while longer before only charcoal amber is left, allowing the cold shine of platinum and gold to capture the vision of all. I felt as you do, for a short while ... Message 15499309 lasting all of 10 seconds ... Message 15499316 when I remembered ... Message 15478772 and Message 15421566 must be true, and so, I decided ...
