trading around a part of your portfolio in a manic depressive bear market can seriously improve performance. Yes. It can also risk underperformance in any breakout on either side. :) But really I am not a trader, so I should not even express opinions. ;) There are enough people who can tell you how to trade the "range bound" market. Preferably not on this thread - but then I am not a moderator, so it's just my preference. ;)

In a sham, scam manipulated market, it's the only chance for some profit. IMHO. This is not your grandmother's market. No yield, no gain, I'm mostly cash, trading often around SDS. Is this investing? Heck no. I read this thread, because, well, isn't value what it should be about? It's a big manipulated ponzi now, and I keep on telling myself to get out. No yield. Paul mentioned grabbing a market high for some profit taking. I am with Paul. But am also close to 100% cash. Done that, for better or worse. And my apologies for daring to post my opinion on this thread with such outstanding minds. (this is not at all sarcastic, I just don't think it's useful now). Short of possible takeovers, no value analysis has any value in today's market. , IMVHO..
