I don't know. I'm confused. Thinking about just going to all cash and forgetting about the market for a while. Maybe I'll hang on to some of my long term losers for nostalgia sake. :-) PS. The move up has been kind of violent, don't you think? What has changed? There was the intervention to prop the yen and everybody thought we had to have a summer rally and now we have or have we? Everything else seems the same. Why did stocks take off again the past few weeks? Makes no sense.
