I've never worried too much about the general market, other than in very extreme times (e.g. 9/11). There's always something that individually looks like a solid company at a good place on the chart.
IHub, like all message boards, is full of a million Babe Ruth wannabe's. Singles are the way to go. :-)
My goal is $10K per month so I'm set for June. Off to Florida for a week, best of luck.
