Bearcatbob,
I waffle between the dire math of debt recessions and the opportunity cost of being wrong. One foot on both sides of the argument so to speak has turned out to be profitable by accident but for how long I wish I knew. The cost for me has been stress which is not usually factored into investing decisions.
The Dow forecast would be a good measure of sentiment on this board but might not reflect the sentiment in regards to energy investments. I am still bullish on energy intrinsic value (purchasing power).
I like the idea of a DOW forecast tracker but if added would think oil and natural gas forecast from this particular group might be just as valuable to look back on and eventually might color my investment decisions.
Personally flirting between 2nd world wide recession affecting my long term investments and me being wrong and this next phase avoided significant repricing with just below average slow growth.

Bob,

Does it matter much?

Not counting on anything going much higher and highly hedged for a move lower. Let um continue to play market ping pong, I'm ready for it.

Heading home, the weather is turning cold and it's time to get a heck out of here (Grand Rapids Airport).
