Was that tirade an outward projection of self-induced pain onto others by a faithful long-term CUBE shareholder? [CUBE shareholder is same as moneyloser] techstocks.com

rarebird, you make a good point about bears may feel some resentment about having missed some of the fun but I am also concerned about the aftermath when the bubble bursts. I feel the FED should have done more to check the speculation (raise rates) but it is premature to second guess when the music has not stopped. If the current mania ends badly like all other manias then the public will have the right to be outraged because Alan Greenspan and Bob Rubin should have foreseen the collapse and done more to control it. Based upon history, I can see it coming, but it remains to be seen if it is different this time. I doubt it. Mike

Rarebird: PhD, yeh right! You are one of those sick SI posters, just looking to start SH_T. I bookmarked this thread and on occasion post. There are some intelligent folks posting this thread. You don't like it, use that PhD mind of yours (LOL) and don't waste your time here. DUH! Regards, LG

Rarebird: I've been long on brokerage stocks all year. And you sound like a babbling idiot. As far as I'm concerned, you have flamed us and contributed nothing to the content of the thread, so you might try the "post your flames here" thread for better personal satisfaction.

Failure to understand why we are at new highs: LIQUIDITY. Failure to understand why the breadth is narrow: typical in the next to last stage of a bull market. The last stage is the Blow Off. Then a very meaningful decline. Try thinking and use analysis rather than becoming emotional resentful prisoners of the past. Speaking of rational analysis: narrow breadth is caused by the lack of liquidity. There's just enough liquidity to float the Nifty Fifty along with major indices leaving the rest of the market high and dry (i.e. Russel 2000). That said, I agree that the market may be entering into the blow-off phase. If so, one could make a bundle over the next several weeks by buying selected blue chips trading near their all-time highs.

RB, Now was THAT fun or what... 6 replies... Wow. Bill BTW, I think many of us watch liquidity... I know I check the mutual fund flows each Thursday/Friday whenever they are available. And when they dry up, the market doesn't keep going up which is a no-brainer if you are into money flows. And if you have a better way of checking/measuring liquidity, I am sure we would all like to know. ... and if you saw the spoof of us on our companion thread you would be laughing at us and not venting. But what the heck, it's a dirty job and somebody has to do it! I 'spose a reality check now and again helps us all.
