Please feel free to reference a post of mine in the last 3 months where I claimed that the Economy is doing fine. Second of all, I trade SECTORS and not the "market", so I really don't have the obsession that you appear to suffer from "labeling" whether we are in a Bull or Bear market. Such an obsession is the hallmark of "newbies" who don't actually trade for a living. - - - TRADERS couldn't care less about such "labels." And finally, we all know that you are a "paper-trader" because you have NEVER once posted a screen-shot of your positions. Rumor has it that you get paid by the post. In my opinion, you appear to be a "tool" of ET. Plain and simple.
I sold all my shares 6 months back and earned excellent profits. Now I invest in FOREX because FOREX means "trading in international currency" and it will stay as long as financial world in running. FOREX is competition between international currencies. My "Managed Forex account" with my Forex Manager/Broker has earned me profit of +176% for Year 2008.
