I feel somewhat, no a lot, proud to be investing in this market when everyone is selling America short because of a few book cookers That is just the latest excuse de jour. First it was a buyable pullback in a new paradigm, then it was guidance and visibility, and then it was 911 and now it it book cooking. The fact is that it is just another bear and most of us have not been around to trade one before. So as a result, it feels like another new paradigm and "unique" in some way. It is tough to be a bull market baby in a bear market. TS

Whether you buy first or sell first there's no difference if you're just trying to buy low, sell higher. Generally the pain has been alloted much faster to the short positions: the short scare rallies have gone up 10% at the gun and continues, whereas the far down market action has usually been accompanied by bounces - going long (and longer) on an extreme down move was quickly rewarded with a tradeable bounce. We dont seem to be bouncing here where everybody thought it was supposed to the best hope I can extend is, we are in the middle of a new range but there is no guarantee.
