These people must get some rush out of this stuff every day....okay stock market down big this week means depression with even more money printing coming and the perma bears and goldbugs are going to be rich. I think its become de rigueur to be negative. I suspect many of them voted for Bush and its embarrassing to see how badly he performed so they are desperately hoping that the whole house of cards [their words, not mine] will come crashing down so they can't be held at all accountable for this mess. While I always recommend most should not be in the stock market I can see how being savy and unemotional like a Jimbo could garner way above average performance with some decent stock picking and timing. Has he? Can you trust anything he says? I don't. Being a perma bear is being blinded by your emotions with your rose colored glasses in the gutter. Being perma anything is dangerous. That's why I try to get the facts all the time. Personally I just try to time and swing trade some airline and tech from time to time.. very cautious sell in May and go away works. I can see myself scoring big fourth quarter this year on the expected real crash later in summer or early fall then closing the account for good and never looking back... I just find the whole concept a pathetic casino totally despise the environment fostered by Wall Street and CNBC and yes even creating that housing/credit bubble too.... just like the older guys in my hood when I was growing up in the 70's and early 80's all always talking about the big score at the track that were always broke, drunk buffoons who thought they were 'gods' too, never did it the old fashioned way of accumulating and growing real estate and (or) real businesses.... I think the stock market has always been a rich man's game. People finally are wising up to that fact. With computer trading, its become a particularly dangerous world. However, there is some legitimacy to the markets.......and that's what I look for when I buy stocks.
