Mr. GreenJeans- In re: "At these high pe levels any disappointment in economic fundamentals may cause a stampede out a very narrow door. As for me, I would rather walk slowly out the door, taking my time, and taking my wheelbarrel full of profits with me, and not have any footprints embedded on my chest." Who can argue with a prudent man who, as you say, having benefited mightily from Brinker's uncanny market advice during the course of an unprecedented and lengthy bull market, now decides to lock in a measure of his profits? Not I, certainly. Brinker speaks of this time of economic Nirvana. There is little question such is the case. However, the Biblical lesson of "seven fat years followed by seven lean years" is doubtless never lost on the true man of prudence. Re- ferring again to that old Spanish proverb, to wit, "What the fool does in the end, the wise man does in the beginning."
