absolutely amazing your post has received 6 recommendations already. It is an intellectually dishonest post. The bottom was in October of 2002 with the S&P at 768. You could have invested for the long term as late as March 2003 with the S&P at 790. There has been almost a 100% return in the last 5 years. Yes, that is a great bull market. But I'm sure you already knew this. <g> Regards, EDIT: ding ding ding, can't keep up with the recommendations!

Yes, the BULL is very great. If you can't make money in this bull market, you'll never make money in any market. The S&P was 1,552 in 2000, and seven years later it is 1,481, for an astoundingly BULLISH return of -0.68%! Since Oct 2002 the Sp500 has doubled. Less than one percent in SEVEN years.. 100% in 5 years. 200% in 13 years. The real question is, what are you trying to protect with your spin?

One shot - one kill...for the pigfarmer: "Yes, the BULL is very great...The S&P was 1,552 in 2000, and seven years later it is 1,481, for an astoundingly BULLISH return of -0.68%! Less than one percent in SEVEN years.." Add to that - the Merkster's observation about the 16 years of dead money in the DOW from 1966 through 1982. And how about the 20 year+ bear market in gold? What more needs to be said? Trading 50 to 180 point moves in the HUI, or 500 - 1,000 point moves in the DOW that happen in days and weeks, isn't exactly day trading. S.O.T.B.
