Went through your old posts trying to find out when after the March low you claimed to go long (surely you aren't making all these grand claims with the benefit of hindsight) Strangely all I found where your posts claiming GOOG was going to $200 and AAPL was going to $80. How did that work out for you? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2356042#post2356042 http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2379249#post2379249
Check my record: My last bear call was made on 4/7/2009 and Since than I called super spikes on bidu spy blahblah. If you dug back to 10 years earlier, I bet you can get more
To answer your question in a word, No. It also helps commodoties profits and costs by using the dollar now because its cheaper to ship goods and cuts costs for the companies. The dollar will be fine. Just like the economy. Recession is over.
Here is the thread made on 5/18/2009: 05-18-09 10:04 PM I am shocked so many 2009 newborns here. Check your papa's 2008 trading logs, is 10% really that fancy? Today XLF spiked 6.59% on shiit, XLY spiked 4.93% on craap. If these loser firms can spike 10% 20% everyday, why cannot AAPL RIMM and GOOG and lots of profitable companies do? A spike of 10% only bring this year's return to 10%. We just 10% better than it was at the end of last year, mission impossible, huh... http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2431542#post2431542
I have the same view that the economy is now correcting itself from last fall. The question is, how far does it go before it is "corrected".
