The eternal conflict between standing pat during a long-term trend in order to gain the major profits when the full move finally takes place, and not wanting to suffer large drawdowns from nasty corrections in the meantime - especially when you are 80% confident that such a correction is about to happen in the next few months.

If someone has worked out a fullproof way to get the former whilst avoiding the latter, I will supply an abundance of champagne, blow and sluts (tm Rearden Metal) in exchange for the inner secrets of that elusive holy grail.
 
biggest frustration is it is not trading anymore it is playing craps with somebody elses loaded dice so its like you lost before you even put the chips down on the table. so when the next LTCM or amaranth or lehman bros or bear stearns happens, I just have one thing to say when you step on everyone on the way up, you better be prepared for the ass raping you all received on the way down. Hopefully Goldmans greed will consume it self and being a partner there will put you on the deck of cards that bush used to show the power structure of the Iraqi hierarchy! And the next time they tell obama he has to bail out wall street or main street, he should respond like samuel l. jackson did in die hard 3-

"No, All I have to do is stay black and die!"
