Robert. <wondering if a trader's preoccupation with the longer term labels of "bull" or "bear" market is counterproductive, if not actually harmful to his profits in the market?> Very perceptive reflections on the question in the rest your post. One of the way that I dodge the bullet, to some extent, is to focus on a few sectors and the best individual stocks I can find in them vs trying to time the broad market. The sector a trader is working in as well as his major positions can bottom before or well after the broad market indices. So although it's important to keep an eye on the broad market indices it's not where I focus the lion share of my due dilligence and analysis. Isopatch
