I can not criticize Tice for being bearish early. If he was bearish in 95 or 96 then yes I can criticize him. <<< i read a biz rag interview with him, and it said he turned bearish in 1992, Jim Stack was bearish in 1996 or before, Fleckstein about the same, these are all hero's on the clown free zone, most of these poor bastards on the clown free zone were bearish during the biggest bull market in history, they were losing their ass, while calling people who were making huge money on the upside clowns, while they were losing their ass, this is hilarious. >>>>You seem to think everyone on that board is a Clown. Well there are plenty of them there. There are plenty of good posters as well.<<<< No they are all clowns, most of all these people have been bearish at levels in the early to mid 90's that we have yet to acheive in this huge bear market, and yet most consider themselves or the clown-free thread financial genius, because the market has gone their way for the last couple of years -lol-, and damm they want more, they want the armageddon they've been praying for, bank runs, soup lines, derivative blow-ups, 5000 gold, etc. >>>We are on a death spiral like Japan now, and probably nothing can stop it.<<< Well i posted a chart on a number of threads in december 1999 and overlayed the chart of the nasdaq and the nikkei and told people that we were in a huge bubble was going to go bust, people called me a doom and gloomer, told me i didn't understand the internet, didn't understand the technology revolution (even though i had used the internet and computer technology years before the public became aware of it) We may very well be on a death spiral like japan, or like the 30's, i hope not, I'm not going to be one of your cheerleaders on the clown free zone, or any zone praying for lower prices to get my puts in the money. But i will go short when i see an opportunity on the downside. The problem with your clown free zone is that they are married to their position, it's the big fat geek bearish wedding, they've been married to it since the mid 90's. they can't for the life of them make money on any rally, most of them got shell shocked into the 2000 top and went broke and the few of them that had some assets left, there have been some huge rallies during the bear market, i doubt that any off the shell shocked bears that got killed during the bull market had enough confidence to make a sell and hold call like any of the buy and hold bulls during the bull market. If you are calling somebody else a clown or your declaring yourself clown-free, thats about the best contrary indicator going. because the market eventually teaches people who arrogantly think they are smarter than the market a lesson
