re: ["You cannot trade this market with any degree of success by trying to catch tops and bottoms. Anyone who tries has my sincere condolences."] Really now ? And here I thought cyclicals were called cyclicals for a reason... So, your premis is what? Trade growth stocks and buy & hold cyclicals? re: your comment of: ["Anyone who tries (to trade the tops and bottoms) has my sincere condolences"] Well that strategy certainly worked well for the goldbugs for twenty years following the last run up in gold -- now didn't it? stockcharts.com And more recently? stockcharts.com The problem is that during that rollercoaster ride -- very few of the 'bugs were actually able to "hang on"...remember the ANNIVERSARY Post regarding the "all time low sentiment reading" -- as reported by Hulbert's Digest last year? I'm curious as to one thing... Why do the 'bugs all show up here en masse -- during these shakeouts (vbg)? You guys need to be shoveling your crap back at the 'bugs that are breaking out the lifeboats -- like the Kitco Crowd... you're wasting your time here...with this rationalization, denial and self-delusion.
