Whew! You dont mince words. The Realist and I will be crying in our beer this weekend.
A couple of questions.
a. percentage chance that you are wrong about this being a secular bear or what would it take to change your mind b. What do you see as naz bear bottom and when will that occur and when do you anticipate the strongest cyclical bull move a la october to january. c. Wouldnt/couldnt you make more money in a secular bear by going short more than going long. I am sure you have been asked this before about not shorting. I am relatively new so pardon the repeat question.
My plan is to follow you out after the next rally and back in at the appropriate times. You may not know it but you are already helping me. I have got my confidence back and part of that reflects at work and part of that helps me deal with the whopping losses i have taken. I dont think its a bad thing to lose money when "life lessons" are learned. mike PS OT In a poll palestinians were asked which people they hated most--they answered Israelis. In the same poll they were asked whose political system they admired most--answer was Israel. Go figure! But there is some hope in those stats i think.
