We're more similar in our outlook and forecasts that you may think. I'm not about to short either housing or stocks these days, except for the occasional leveraged futures day trades when risk reward looks tolerable. Agreed on interest rates too, part of the reason I track the Fed's Securities Lending OMO every day.

I'm also bearish by nature which probably helped me to short gold around $1885 near it's peak and ride silver down to just under $34 from about $48.70, but also didn't stop me from taking the long side on the S&P 500 in mid/late March in 2009... and would that I had had the cojones to hang on since then. but big leverage goes both ways.

And no criticism taken on your bullish opinions, swapping opinions in the much calmer environment that SI used to represent was what it was almost all about back then IMHO. And my choices in female friends 20 years ago would have been a lot better and more fun if I'd known what I do today too. <g>
