Dude, you will discover that the doomsday stuff you and a couple of your cronies (one of which is you as another name -- trust me I know) espouse will not come true. The market will start to do well again, and only after it has will you jump back in -- too late to reap the biggest rewards but early enough to help pad my accounts, so thanks for that. I ALWAYS give great advice by the way.
Still pissed at me about the Carl Rose comment, eh moderator, that you curiously had deleted? You have been full of shit this whole time to everyone who has leveled accusations your way, correctly I might add, though I didn't want to believe it. It's amusing, the level of your disingenuousness. And tell me, just who is me and my crony as another name, omniscient one. C'mon, you're so smart. Come out with it. Tell the world who is really just me by another name that is promoting "doom and gloom" in the market and economy. You can't, because it's simply not true, but nice libelous sideshow.
I never, NEVER said I wouldn't become bullish again. I jumped out at just over Dow 13,000, have been trading exclusively with a short-bias, and I still am not willing to commit long-term money, but for a fraction of my portfolio. It's simple really. You are giving people generic, obvious advice. You aren't doing anyone any favors. My four-year old daughter can give the same advice. My 25-year advice is the EXACT same as yours, butthead. I've NEVER once said don't buy for the LONG term.
I have presented risks and the likely scenario for the foreseeable future. Does that make me a "doom-and-gloomer?" You simply do not understand macroeconomics and the present structural dislocations. Oh, yeah, you read several financial pundits and post links to those insightful, high-powered sites like CNN.Money. And you read a TON. Gosh, thanks for nothing. Yes, indeed, the market will not go to zero, and at some point there will be a buying opportunity. I've said that I myself may become bullish in the near future. Doesn't mean I will buy with a 7-year time frame, perhaps just a one-year time frame. But your CERTAINTY about returning to yesteryear is not only incredibly short-sighted, it is naive.
