Quote from Uncle_Ho:
hedgefundtrader, i will never understand your crowd. Why do you persist to be extremely optimistic no matter what facts are presented before you. There is a reason we broke so much off of our highs. There is a reason the housing markets collapsed off the highs. I am not a pessimest by any means, but if do not want to short, and your options are "buy, or don't buy". Right now would be one of the times to be patient, and not buy. We don't need to buy it right on the bottom. Let the market make a bottom, change the trend, then follow it. If you have an oppurtunity to enter the market whenever you want, with as much capital as you want, wouldn't you want to enter when the odds are stacked in your favor. All I'm saying is wait till the market proves itself. Then you can go back to being a permabull.
Thats what I am hoping for. I am trading light. Let the markets get in full rally, than we will take off the brakes.
