Ramsey, please don't stop posting on whatever subject is of interest. You're right that another market bubble is forming. Scares the shirt off me. I'm keeping about 25% cash and am trying to make the other 75% beat the index for the whole. A month ago I seriously worried the DOW might go to 6000. It was a personal victory not to sell then. I used to say market timing was not for me. Now I dabble in it. I usually pick decent stocks, but too often ride them up - then down. That has to change. TA helps. I'm not buying AMAT here and am not as enamored with it as I was. It is easier to find three stocks that may double in a year each than to hope that ONE stock will be a three bagger in 3 years. [WMAR is a double in 1 year IMO - this is not advice to buy that stock]. I think all regular posters here contribute. I simply assign different weights to each. Gottfried - trying to ride the tiger.
