Even boring can crash but that is what stops are for. I have pipeline MLPs, preferred, senior loans and other things that are usually considered stodgy. I have stops on those. I have some speculative stuff, mainly energy and biotech that I am watching like a hawk. I have stops set pretty tight on some things but better safe than sorry. The returns have been extraordinary since March.

It looks like a U shaped bottom to me. All of the selling from Sept through Dec was the initial descent, the selling from Jan through Mar was capitulation selling, and Mar through June was the beginning of the recovery trade. June through Sep is the beginning of the ascent. Next quarter, we begin to adjust to life back to DOW 10K. Last September the market was down 1500 points, this September we are up 280 points. We are up 1200 points since the end of May, which is still only about 1 month's worth of damage from Sept through March when we were sliding almost 1000 points of month.
