Dont worry, they will learn... eventually.

Still lots of bears on ET, the retail investors are typically late to the party. :D

That is the sole reason why the bull market will not end any time soon, too many bears waiting to be slaughtered.

Im not buying this dip, yet. I think there will more weakness later.

Well buying dips isnt exactly "ZERO" risk per se, but its as close as it gets to zero risk. Certainly a TON safer than shorting reactions.

Nothing new... just some shorts getting raped again.

Bears are getting raped again. :D Its obvious that Bernanke wasnt going to say anything stupid to upset the market, at least not before the elections.

Nail on the head. This rally has nothing to do with fundamentals or earnings, its got to do liquidity. Until the carry trades start to unwind, shorts will be raped every time they try to trade the reactions.

Thats not all, the real losers are the ones who tried to short every pullback, thinking "this must be it" every single time, unfortunately, 90% of the dips always end in a short squeezing rally to the close. Shorting reactions get you nowhere in a bull market like this, great risk for...

Ditto. You can never make big money from scalping trades, the commissions will kill you in the long run. You need to sit on a position long enough to make big money.

Who cares about earnings? The bull run is fueled mainly by excess liquidity, global interest rates are still very low (take a look at Japan!!!). The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent, most shorts will go bust before we get a meaningful correction.

I would have done the same thing 3 months ago, but not anymore nowadays. As I said, this is a runaway bull market, shorts will always be squeezed, the only way to go is buy dips.

Every good trader I know starts out losing, I'm no exception.

23K. I'm up ~26k for 2007 though.

Indeed. Its easier said said than done. I have had many nasty experiences of being greedy and hoping for a bigger profit but most of them did not end well for me. I ended up barely breaking even for those trades, when I could have made 5-7x more if I had sold at the "top".

Nope, there have been a few shallow pull backs, most noticeably the recent 88pt decline. Its not much but its a dip so its a buying opportunity. Nothing is bad news anymore, why would a 10 dollar spike in oil do anything to roil this bull run? :D

Transports lag Dow = no correlation Transports hit new highs = confirms Dow theory No news is bad news nowadays. :D

The market does not move straight up, but the up moves have been much greater than the down moves. Shorting reactions right now is high risk, low reward.

There are actually more bears than bulls in ET. The few bulls here just happened to be more vocal.

Face facts people, the only way to go is up. 6 months ago, the street was worried about inflation and oil prices, then it turned to worries about slower growth, then it was subprime, and now its bond yields. Stocks continued to climb anyway so the doomsday soothsayers would have either been...
