AT, I'm not disagreeing with your choice of direction. I'm addressing your choice of "never" and "always". Yes, it's about risk and reward. But until you quantify both, they are words. I doubt you (or anyone reasonable) will be willing to take infinite risk even for the type of empirical probability zero event you have defined. J :)

Hey, we finally got some spirited discussion going on here. The thread lives. <g> The 'last 3 years' are not indicative of the next three years. In fact- I'd say if you based all of your trading decisions on what happened 'the last 3 years', you'd be wrong more often than right. For example- Look at all the rubes that bought INTC and CSCO or the QQQ in 1999 and 2000 based on the previous 3 years performance. Now THAT was stupid. Maybe looking for a reversal in an overdone trend is not so stupid as you might think..
