============= Are you kidding ; just remember buddy, the opposite of LUV isnt hate ,its indifference; therefore dont think any one hates you here. Efficiency; you had some good points; amoung them are not ''media gloom & doom'' that s a constant for many of them, negative in bull or bear markets. Also would agree with 73-74 being a good example of a bear market ; but may want to redefine your example of a bear market limited to capitulation & PE since you excluded 2000-02. Investors Business Daily & thier institutional customers do just fine in defining a bear, includes 2000-02; easier than trading them Looks like energy stocks are starting strongly back up; tech too maybe headed that way
this thread is very funny looks like some people are pretty mad that areyoukidding's prediction was right at the end. some people wait for the dips, and some people wait to short the tops... and of course some are good enough to switch between the trends right away. (not me) ...I went short too early, (Monday close)...had to suffer through Tuesday, but finally got my "reward" 2 days later I guess areyoukidding likes to wait, but I hope he did stick to it, and got rewarded too?
still hangin...the wagon rolls on. those angry bulls, lol. no more being long and getting saved by ppt i guess.
