    Shortie, there now, didn't it feel good buying AAPL @ 324.25?

    VIX very low, hardy suggests danger of any type. You seem paranoid, although I would agree reading ET tends to expose one to all sorts of bearish hysteria. Reminds me of the technology bulls of the late 1990s, only its people dreaming about getting rich shorting the market. Must be some sort of late 2008 hangover effect.

    When you add here @ 324.86, be ready to take profits if the breakout fails :D

    All right, Shortie, you're on your own now, both entries profitable. See, not so bad, just hold your nose and buy the highs :p

    Well, you want to always keep a GTC limit to buy AAPL @ $200 in case of a market crash :cool:

    From the news today, it looks like my strategy to go long blue chip banks and technology stocks was the right one for now;
    CSCO talking about a dividend and financials showing relative strength again today.

    Looking forward to a more normal volume day for confirmation.

    Actually, a crash comes when no one expects it and discounts the warning signs, not when there are no warning signs.

    Could you supply a graph of the major stock indexes from 1988-2000 and explain to me where the second crash occurred ? Because this is the kind of event you keep predicting week after week, some sort of double crash idea that I don't remember ever happening in my lifetime.

    Maybe the early 1930s. A lot has changed since then. If RIMM can make billions selling BlackBerrys and China has 10% growth, I just can't see a depression being a rational prediction.
