    shorting vs. being long

    shorting is less riskier when there is a bear market. in a bull market, it's very hard to fight the tide. even fundamentally weak stocks have a tendency to rise in a bull market.

    My realtor sent me pictures of homes for sale in fort myers, and naples florida. an entire block of homes had for sale signs up for months now. What was $400k last spring is now $300, a 25% drop. Problem is most sellers don't realize this is the true price, but won't budge and stubbornly sit...

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?

    that most people cannot identify trend properly does not mean that it does not exist. there are trendsetters, bandwagoners and bagholders (the public). this tells me that not all people perceive things the same way. also supports an increasingly unpopular concept called talent.

    POLL - Futures: How do you determine the trend?
