John: Thanks for the invitation, but I think I'll pass. The market tells you how you're doing---just look at your account. I'll take that any day over a mere argument. This thread is full of true believers who have lost their critical faculties. Nobody questions anything. Also dominated by the buy-and-hold crowd, who doesn't know any other way. These folks tend to know an amazing amount about the companies they hold, but their knowledge of market mechanics is not good. As far as the bond goes---I'm worried. The stock market can't seem to sustain a rally, and has been selling off quickly on any excuse. It's not whether rates truly go alot higher or not, it's just that the idea puts a large uncertainty in the market at this point, and makes it vulnerable to any negative news. The market doesn't feel very resilient. I sold my longs midday yesterday--- YHOO, EBAY, and INKT---all for a decent profit, and went short on DELL, and 2 junk stocks that don't have a chance. We've had a beautiful long rally from October, and we're due for a real correction. I'm often wrong, but I do make consistant money and I'm very flexible. I just follow the market and try to not hold many opinions. Good luck to you.
