Take this board with a grain of Salt!
(Like all boards)

Peace_2_all:

You have gone from RB (which boards are usually made up of Permabulls) to this board which seems to be mostly made up of Permabears. Why not go with both (or preferably more) boards to obtain different market perspectives?

I used to read ZH's Turnip board all the time. This used to be an excellent board when it was on SI (and first moved to IB) and there were views from both bull and bear. Somehow, for some reason, it has slowly been taken over by a group of bears full of "Doom and Gloom" that wish to site SAARS, the IRAQ war, consumer debt, the price of oil, the housing bubble, the deficit, planetary alignment, the job market, etc on why the market currently should be having another "Grand Nassacre" and blame Greenspan, the PPT, J6P or certain ANALysts when it does not. Yes, SOME of their reasoning seems to be valid, BUT why they worry/cry so much about what the market "should be doing" and not what the market "IS doing", is actually quite sad.

The change in the market this last 6 months or so has been huge. It would have been a shame to miss the ride and even more of a sin to remain short due to stubborness. Some of their losses must be as great as some of those that remained long after the bubble burst in 2000. The stubborn ones are the current crop of BAGHOLDERS.

My advice to you is to use this board as just another source for information. I personally have been using it as a contrarian indicator. I have been doing that for a while now and it has worked quite well. When you start to see a few more bullish posts on this board (yes there are some) and you start to see a few of the bears here talk bullish, THEN look for a turn in this market. Yes, this market is going to turn but not until most, least expect it.


Good Luck
