for bluestreak (sp) there is nothing "crooked" about buying low and selling high. yes, i know it's all "manipulation" whatever your obviously involved in losertrader mentality. the market does what it does. it doesn't care about your grand unified theories
For what it's worth, I think 2007 will be one of the best years ever for the market. However, for this to happen we need what is generally known as a healhy pullback. Wouldnt be surprised if we have a start of the year sell off and when thing calm down we rally. 5% down 20% up. Of course, Im pulling all this out of my ass but sometimes I do bet on red and win
