You get burned only if you hold. I've been doing great just buying dips and selling after rips (with at most 10% of portfolio at risk at any one time, I'm still bearish). This sideways market lately has been awesome.

Wow, just wow. I'm not sure you can even call that a "revision".

"sandwich artist", now THAT gave me a good laugh.

For real?? I'm glad I stopped watching that station. Gotta wonder if that TARP money GE got clouds their coverage... ~telengard

That may be true, but it's easy to custom fit a call to what's going on. The original poster called "the Bottom", not a short term bottom. He was wrong and I'm sure he realizes it. I don't think anyone can make predictions for what's going on right now. I've been hearing bottom all the...

It seems even worse than this. They'll have a guest on and below them it will say "BREAKING NEWS: So and so talks about so and so". Whoa ~telengard

We've breached the original call. Wonder how much further down we can go... ~telengard

I didn't get out at the top but got out when the DOW was around 11,800. I've just been buying the dips and selling after moves of a few %. Been working well so far and I hope this continues. If you are looking to park the money, maybe CDs? ~telengard

Excellent call and timing and humility to boot! Buy up RIMM and GOOG, mental recession, web 2.0 is the future...

The original poster is right. Sites like Twitter will pull us out of this mental recession. Why is there no emoticon for rolling your eyes? ~telengard

You left out the "mental recession". ;) ~telengard

Maybe normally, but it seems to react pretty emotionally to current events in the current market. The market moved 500 points when an announcement was made about an Obama cabinet member. Just about anything can set off a huge move lately. ~telengard

Hoping to start using the 3x soon. How is the volume? ~telengard (going to check out the avg volume)

If you are talking about the drop @ the end of the day, I managed to catch it using an Ultrashort. Only good trade of the day though. :( ~telengard

Should we believe this call for the bottom or the one you made on 10-27. Just curious... ~telengard

So depressing. Rewarding stupidity and failed risk taking with a bailout is now the American Way.

I wouldn't call the USPS, the magazine industry, Symantec, Motorola, or Electronic Arts "finance or auto". I have lots of friends who are either facing losing their jobs or are already not working and can't find anything. I have to imagine that this isn't just some anomaly in my area. I'm...

Gotta say, I admire your unwavering dedication to being a bull in this type of market. Every thread I've seen you post on you have the same outlook. I'm on the other end of the fence. ~telengard

I did my scanner in python/wxpython. It uses yahoo data though which is delayed. Suits my purposes just fine. ~telengard
