Good reversal today, but no institutional participation. The big boys are still sidelined waiting for a clear signal...

<<let me know when we hit THE lows LOL >> Well, my Ouija Board is saying October 12, 2374 and my Tarot Cards are indicating ZERO as the bottom and the end of the world as we know it within 5 years..... So, I hope both are wrong <g> Actually, not that is was anything but pure dumb luck, but I did a good bit of buying from mid to late 02, and hit many stocks at their bottoms, or pretty close to them.....actually thought the markets would be lame in 03, but many stocks were too cheap not to buy....my biggest problem was, since I wasn't sold on 03 being a banner year, I was quick to sell and sold many stocks after 25-100% gains that ended up going MUCH higher as 03 went along.....Now, some of those stocks I sold are cheaper, so I look good <g>, but others still need to fall 75% or so for them to get back to where I sold.....Ya know, can't look back, must look forward, but I have now 'goofed' twice....could have pretty much retired had I cashed out at end of 99. Could have pretty much retired had I held everything I bought near the lows in 02 all the way thru all of 03 and then cashed out at end of 03, instead of being so quick to sell in 03 when good profits were there...after all, I was bearish..the markets were in an extended bear, and 100% looked too good to not take....who knew many stocks would continue another 1000% or more, so I can't look at selling and taking profits as being a bad thing...it seemed prudent at the time.....Now, all I see is an extended ugly period for the markets...and the world.....
