Todays Bear and Dipster rally of Junk stocks is yet another shorting opportunity. IMHO This is a reflex reaction. Like when you slap a spoiled child. Haha The child is in shock, then cries a few moments latter.

We are evaluating this market on the basis of seven years, ten years, fifteen years, or even 23 years of activity. We are are at the peak of a recurring set of bull market surges, and stocks are more overvalued in some respects than they were in 1969 or 1929. When this all began, you could buy Royal Dutch Petroleum at a P/E of 3 and a dividend of around 7-8%. Now we have untested technology stocks selling at p/Es of 30 and more. Would you like me to explain what "P/E" means?

Jean: if you are that worried about your stocks perhaps you should consider selling them and paying taxes and putting the cash in the bank. That way you won't have to fret about them. It's really obvious to everybody on the thread that you have lost a lot of money recently. I offer my condolences.

Jean re: <<Bonnie: Once again, Ibexx has demonstrated that buying good quality stocks and holding them as long as they retain their sound fundamentals is the only way to invest. Jumping around, in and out, and whooping and hollering belongs in Las Vegas, and generally reflects short-term morning winners who end up evening losers. Perhaps it is not wise to evaluate markets based on one or two days of activity? Thanks, Ibexx, for once again being the voice of reason amidst the cacophony.>> I would say you are responding to one days activity and may be in danger of having to take your own advice here. :) Good trading.
