Sure I still have a lot to learn, but at least I'm not stupid enough to "invest" in a company with a P/E of over 200 or even NO earnings; especially when future growth is in serious jeopardy. <<OK, I guess you have figured out something that 99.9% of both retail and professional investors have no clue about...>> Na, most professionals knew the markets were bloated pigs. But you forget, they are in business to sell stocks. See Kieth, those analysts that see on bubble vision or read their pitches in the press or the net are only interested in selling something. If they don't sell, they don't get a pay check. This is the number one reason you should take what they say with a grain of salt. And be suspect too. <<we've seen extremes to the high and to the low, and will see more....yet, you claim to know what nobody else does???>> I never claimed to know what nobody else knows. There you go again, putting words into my mouth to suit your flame I'm always learning. I learn by reading what smart people have to say as well as listening to what the stupid people have to say. <<As for fundamentals and TA, I know plenty.....but what does that mean.....>> I don't know what it means. I have an idea, but will reserve my opinion at this time <<now, enough talking to you...waste of my time....>> Such a shame. Can't put together a good argument on why stocks are such a good value so you resort to flaming and then, the ultimate, ignore. One day you'll have to pull your head out of the sand. <<dont bother replying, you are hereby officially going on ignore..... >>> Yeah, right, you know you aren't ignoring me- you might not respond to me, but I doubt strongly you have me on ignore. You've probably read every post in my profile looking for an angle to flame me. Just one last note, my opinion, of course. The new bull market, whenever it does arrive will not be in technology, or not the current tech type companies. I think it will be biotech that leads us into the next 100 years. However, I do believe we will see a good bull market(maybe 3-5 years in duration) in gold; silver might come along for the ride too. P.S. If you're gonna try your <paraphrasing> "he only shows up when the market is down and disappears when it goes up." line well, I didn't post for a few days, and look, the markets continued to go down. Go figure.
