4. Emotional responses have no helpful role in managing ones portfolio. ... unless of course they're an irrational
emotional response by the herd from which I can take advantage

Ian,
Am trying to be dispassionate and temper my usual bullishness. I have no real signs yet that economy will return to a high enough growth rate to justify todays multiples. But like you I look to take advantage of a market that may be somewhat irrational here. Cause may simply be too many dollars chasing too few stocks at this time, or a bit of irrational exhuberance which is expecting a quick return to last years growth. I suspect we will have slower growth for a longer time frame. In 5 years we will wind up in the same place but for now I will reevaluate as we get closer to the January highs. mike

PS am currently overweighted in tech and looking to reweight at a beneficial time
