I am glad you are out of that trap. Been there, been both a perma bear and a perma bull. Would never want to be in that psychological state ever again. It's a delusional state. Once a perma and the market goes against you, it's hard to return back to normalcy. Cuz, then vindication and pride becomes a overriding concern and making money or losing money becomes irrelevant. It's that darn vindication that you are after, that mission of proving that the market is wrong, you are after..... You start associating with like minded permas, start reading perma gurus newsletters, filter out news stuff/opinions on the web which suits your perma opinion, and lead a delusional life. I would never want to be back in that perma state (bull or bear) ever again !
