Don- "That is the time for us poor individual investors to jump in on the long side and go along for the ride.:)" So I'm assuming this statement supports my theory of "riding the wave"? Many years ago, I ascribed my theory toward investing as surfing the waves of the market/stocks. IMO, it is best to start positioning oneself just as the wave starts to develop and increase in size. Use the momentum and growth of the wave and ride it until it peaks and starts decreasing in size, at which time it is best to dismount and reposition oneself for the next wave... Use the energy and timing of the wave to your financial benefit. Just sitting there on your board riding the waves up and down gets you no where, you just move up and down.....Simplistic approach, but profitable.
