That's exactly why. You can fight it, you can bitch and kick and scream all you want..and the only thing it's going to do is empty your wallet.
I'm not a permabull, or a permabear just a trader. I have a well documented track record over the years. From the bottom in 1998 up until December of 2000 I was telling people to buy big cap tech with both hands. In December I switched and said go to biotech and we did that until the end of January and which point I told people to go to cash. In April I said you could short.
After September 11th I bought networkers and airlines until December, then went back into cash until the bombs starting falling Iraq in 2003. Stayed bullish until 2005, at which point I became ill.
At the end of 2007 when the DOW was making new highs, I sent out letters to my subscribers litteraly begging them to move into cash. More significantly though then that I was managing over $10million at that point, and I moved all of it to cash. I did this even though every single client I had objected, many of them pulled funds from me because of this move. It was the right thing to do though.
You see, I do base my opinions on market actions and facts. What I "THINK" should happen because of this or that is not material at all.
Right now the market is very bullish and there is no reason to be short.
As I said in my post as well I'm not really compelled to buy very much right now, but to be short is to be an idiot.
If you care to take the time to go through my posting history you will see that I'm not just selecting the ideal situations as everything I've done over the last nearly 1 decade is well documented here on ET.
