Fool on! Selena Maranjian ======================================================================== What horse hockey. Buying low was never HARDER! Stocks LOOK cheap. Stocks ARE expensive. Why do they look cheap? 1) Cause moron analysts have high price targets 2) Cause they have fallen so so far 3) Cause inflated PEGs say so 4) Cause stock options are not included 5) Cause Abbey Conehead says so 6) Cause the FOOL does not understand TA 7) Cause the FOOL has no clues about a SECULAR bear market 8) Cause the FOOL has no idea about what a decent PE should be 9) Cause the FOOL has no idea what cheap means 10) Cause the FOOL wants to sell a product (financial advice) they are not qualified to sell I am sure there are 10 more reasons (if not more). However, #6 thru #10 summ it up best, with #10 being paramount IMO I repeat my challenge to the FOOL. EARN SOME RESPECT! You guys have TOTALLY BLOWN IT. Anyone paying for advice from people that have totally blown it is NUTS. Post some trades. Post some buys and some sells. If you can trade then your advice might be worth it. The FOOL has ZERO clues about trading. The FOOL understands buying and holding to ZERO cause it has done it often enough (close enough on % drops IMO). Earn some credibility. Then sell a product. That is Mish's challenge to the FOOL. This is a third try. I predict a third failure. Why? Cause this is not about teaching people to trade, this is about making the FOOL more $. Results are irrelevant. M
