Greg - congratulations on your 200% return.

I don't think anybody will argue with you that it is much more difficult to make money on the short side of stocks for an extended period than it would be to make money on the long side.

However, the market's journey upward is sometimes interrupted with periods of stagnation or decline. You obviously know how to take advantage of the upward movements. Can I assume from your post that it would be futile to try to protect these profits during the other times? Is there no way to predict these periods?

At any given time, there are always some stocks that go up. Would people's efforts be better spent trying to identify these rather than attempting to profit or protect from market bears?

No, none of that is true.

At least not the part about my mattress. I should know--I just got off it.

Let's keep the talk on the issues and not on personalities. we have just seen what that can do to a thread.

The market is terribly overvalued and to be on the long side is to be a gambler, not an investor, at this point.
