I agree with his sentiment. Lost Opportunity is as great of a sin as losing money.
I think any intelligent person who is eye candy and knows enough to be dangerous, can be a pundit. Think of all the deceptive 1/4 truths one could spin to those greedy for information for easy money. Now with the internet anyone can be a pundit. It is just another form of (financial) conclusion shopping.
We should start a thread call "believable BS". It would be VERY long.

Funny with math. You can shows all kinds of outcomes.Nobody likes a drawdown sure, but the problem with gay bears(and there are a lot of them on ET) is that they cannot do simple math.
You buy XYZ asset at all time highs and it doubles. Now that asset halves. Ignoring opportunity cost(which is real but not the point here) what has the loss been from the initial entry price?
Let's try another scenario: You long XYZ asset @ 100 and it doubles. That's a 100% gain. You then short XYZ asset @ 200 and it collapses to 20. That's a 90% gain.
Which number is larger? 100% or 90%?
To sum up, gay bears can go get fucked. Yes that's you @S2007S and whoever else is in your permabear gang.
%%Corrections are against not with trend.
That is why they are called ... corrections.






,Funny with math. You can shows all kinds of outcomes.
Sell short at 200, goes to 100. Make a 100% gain.
On the other hand buy at 200, and it goes to 100, a 50% loss. No biggie you say just hold on until ..... you get a 100% moveback to breakeven. Drops happen a lot faster than rises, even with Fed Free Money Daze.
Guessing right, whichever happens to be right at that time, and diligent use of stops determine outcome, not rigged math.
Hey murray,IBD founder made a fortune off BUY HIgHS
%%Hey murray,
correct me if im wrong, but in his book, or based on it, he was only adding to those(buying the dips), while the core block (say 50%-60%), was already build prior the stock took off.
We don't know (at least i don't), what was the initial block size in % tho & and how much in % he would add until positions was fully build.
P.s., honestly, his net worth is quite low - $110M, a paranoid side whispers to me, that the majority of it could have been build via books/IBD and not investing.
Noneless, his book ,,How To Make Money in Stocks'', is always the first one i recommend to anyone.
