    SP500 - It ends soon

    I am a dip buyers so far. if I see everyone talks about how great this thing is, I will sell when it dips. bull run lasts longer than most people thinks. the best short sale time is when it tops after three to six months.

    my guess is we are not at the point of " wow. how smart I am", but we are at the start of phase III or end of phase II. when the fed starts to tight credits or raise interest rate, after two to three times , those topping signs put out, .... do not be a last fool to jump in there for dow 20000
