Parasites with sociopathic tendencies who only seek to provoke others into a fight. These are the same jokers who sat in the back of the room in middle school trying to get under the teacher's skin. No, I am not talking about Igy.
...very good discussions by Igy and Maserati, however. The rest is just blah, blah, blah, keep harvesting from the money tree, blah, blah, blah, keep harvesting from the money tree........

“Intelligent investing” does not occur in what passes for markets today. The only intelligence that matters is insider information, most often about what regulators will announce and when.
Ask yourself if there is such a thing as intelligent speculation.
And like I said before, it is all relative to alternatives. Most people have none, realistically. At least now bonds are actually starting to play a role again.
The concept of risk premium is foreign to many current market participants, at least those I know. And i know a few. It’s considered an obsolete idea.

Evidently there is very little of that since the current market of stocks, bonds, residential real estate, commercial real estate or art are all in bubbles. So what is going on is purely speculation with everyone believing they will be able to leave the game before the next fool.

I think you just made his point for him. You may not possess the intelligence necessary to maneuver this market successfully.

Exactly. For christ sake, at various times, i've shorted the same stocks i own as a hedge. ANd i probably should do it more often. You simply cannot afford to be out of the market for too long. Unless, that is, you cashed out for retirement reasons.

That’s a very defeatist, tinfoil hat thing to write. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Either things really ARE different this time, and that supports two opposing views of the future, the hyper enthusiastic speculative one and your doom and gloom one, or they are NOT fundamentally different, in which case markets continue to behave unpredictably and eventually crash after going up, but your conspiracy theory holds no water.

And you are not clever enough to out smart your ignorance.

Read my post to the other guy.
i've moved a bit heavier into emerging markets lately in case domestic funds are getting a little rich. Also some cash on the sidelines as i'm hesitant to buy at highs.
Anyways, economy is good, stock buybacks, corporate tax cuts... if the sh!t hits the fan, it won't be for a bit further out, imo.

Sensible.
That was a disappointing comment. I hope you can do better than that.
It is obvious that you are only on the buy side of the social equation. Those of us who understand the sell side see things that you do not.
This is something you might want to consider.

can you spell that out for me... what is it you’ve deduced about me and what specifically should I consider? I don’t follow

Well that didn’t take long. Igy is nothing, if not predictable.

My Bad.
You are correct, I have represented you by being critical of a position that a huge drop in the market is upon us for the past 3 years that hasn't happen. Apparently, that's not the position your presenting.

Unfortunately for him, he’s not. (See above)
