Helluva tank job IMO you could use some practice in learning to duck. Hard to say when but perhaps you can work out some clues to go by. 1.Whenever Greenspan talks, as he just did, we are going down. 2.If I Get more than 12 stocks in my portfolio its a serious warning. Why?. Because it means I have made money and have been buying for days and gotten overconfident. We have been on an up curve and are going down at some point 3. I have had to sell ( to avert disaster) perhaps 3 or 4 times per year, cutting my holdings to maybe 4 or 5 LTBH stocks. Usually, I should have sold everything, but that would mean a loss of all hope and its not my style. Sometimes feelings work, but mostly not. Many people on the way down from 5000 had a feeeling that 4000, or 3000, or 2000 must be the bottom and twasn't. Crum, did we really go down to 1700? Or was it less. Hard to believe .( I just looked it up and the Nas low was 1253, and at least people should stop talking about 1929, this was far worse) Many people today have a feeling this recovery will tank. I'm not one of those -yet but give me 2 weeks to think about it. Sig
