You can beat your own noodle. Perhaps if you spent less time doing that and more focused on your studies, you'd make fewer errors.

Igy’s many typos and grammatical errors are likely due to his one-handed typing.
Absolutely. I must admit my spelling has suffered with spell checkers, and gramatical errors have been a weak spot. Actually math is a strong suit believe it or not. Mostly at a certain age you just say what comes to mind and care very little what others interpret. Of course for better or worse. The unfiltered Uncle Leroy.

Get out there with your Brady Jacket. Puff your chest out and pretend you are a real man. Oh, don’t forget to wipe off the mustard stain and suck in your gut.

And you continue blaming spell checkers for your own mistakes.
When are you going to start to take responsibility for your actions instead of blaming someone/something else?
Pats win!

Drop to one knee. Then get going now, out the door in your Brady Jacket. Make a run for MCD’s; you deserve it. Two Quarter Pounders with cheese, super sized fries and a strawberry shake. Good job Stanley, the Pats could not do it without you. Now wipe the ketchum off yor Brady Jacket sleeve.
Go Fats!

Seattle,
Ok TNA from low last week and HSGFX from the high same week if you wish until year end . The whole point is small caps have the weakest fundamentals. So if fundamentals beat momentum I win, if not I lose, it really is that simple.
Igy
Igy, it is not that simple.
You want to reduce the whole, big, free market system called the stock market into a simple equation in which the valuations based on historical norms are not only the most important determinant of stock performance, they are the only determinant of stock performance.
And i dare say you do this to your own detriment.
There are other market dynamics in effect here and they have significant impacts. Market forces like quantitative easing, rising interest rates, rate of implementing the rising interest rates, tax cut impacts, the midterm elections, perception of the outcomes of midterm elections, Brexit outcomes, and stock buy-back implementation, etc, which will skew valuations all over the map, and perhaps indefinitely as long as they are in play.
Really, of those listed, midterms and interest rates probably call the tune for the near future.
Best of luck to you. But for those investors who could fathom the importance of the factors listed above, they understood that for those very reasons, it is 'different this time', and that is why. For the last few years, it's played in their favor. But the future capability of those factors to sustain market gains is what's in question going forward.

Seattle,
Most analyst would support your view. However, there are a significant number of skeptics, like myself, that all of this is just the latest version revisionist market history. Cetainly one can look at international markets and see that the market character has changed since January. It will be intersting to see how we fare (S&P 500) into year end. In my view it hinges on the ability of a speculative market to maintain momentum, which some feel has stalled of late. More of a coin toss at this point.
Igy
I would grant you that. But the markets are always speculative, aren't they?That's why they are forward looking. And when you are using a triple leveraged ETF in a highly volatile sector (small caps) as your measure, what do you expect?
Eager to see where the futures point as they emerge in the next few minutes....
Seattle,
Yes, but most would benefit if markets were less speculative. The move from $0.125 (1/8 th) to $0.01 pricing created an incentive for large institutions to drive speculative extremes. So the democratization of the markets is all fantasy, to the detriment of retail investors, over the long term.
Igy
be that as it may, that's the way it is and has been for a while now.

Well said, but unfortunately you are wasting your breath. People here have lectured Igy about the folly of putting all his eggs in one basket (valuations). But we know he simply regurgitates what he is told by one of the worst fund managers in history.

Ha! What’s a Brady jacket? And ketchum? That must be your spell checker again. Time for a new one.
Also, your diet is nothing like mine. No wonder you weigh more than I do. Enjoy your cholesterol.
Go, Pats!

Your eyes are moving to the side of your head.
My total cholesterol is 185. My wife is making spaghetti and meatballs.
Enjoy your arugula and kale salad.
