Addi: If you are saying that you don't mind getting zero returns or even negative returns in the stock-market, as long as you get to enjoy the "high" of the up days, then I must say that you are a pretty strange kind of investor. And talking of zero returns, all buy-and-holders of LSI could be celebrating six glorious years of zero returns come October 9. I only hope that they don't get beaten by the mattress once again!

I view any drop in stocks as a correction in a continuing bull market! Brother Addi: You and I have had many disagreements over the past four years, but on this score, I could not agree with you more. Moreover, Dipy likes to use IBM as an example of why not to purchase tech stocks, but the fact is that IBM made horrific mistakes that profoundly benefited INTC and MSFT, and if one had doen his/her due diligence in much the same manner that Dipy claims to use in finding his dividend increasing stocks, one would have made a fortune that would make Dipy's picks pale in comparison.

As a pessimist you will always think of any spike in stocks as a rally in a forever-never ending continuing bear market, and I view any drop in stocks as a correction in a continuing bull market! Addi, I really am curious. What exactly would it take for you to realize/concede/admit that you are in a bear market? Would you see the entire period of 1920-2000 as one continuous bull market? In that case, what would you have said to folks in 1933? Or 1975? Btw, I want to clarify that I never said that we were in a bear market 2 or 3 years ago. However, I have said on several occasions that valuations were out of whack, meaning that the good times would soon come to an end. And I believe they have. I also want to clarify that, IMO, there is no such thing as a never-ending bear-market (though it might seem like that to some people), just as there is no such thing as a never-ending bull-market (though, again, it might seem like that to some people).
