    As a perma-bull, this is my response. Gosh I so hate bears. No disrespect ET180.

    Scataphagos is right. I’m a perfect example. I’ve been whipsawed quite a bit as a result of having a long bias. I’ve done relatively OK in this bear but I could’ve done much better had I not been sucked in multiple times
    I think it’s human nature to be biased towards stocks growing up. It’s just more comfortable and after a quick down move when the market starts to rally it’s very easy to get sucked in

    of course I’m the only one here that happens to because everyone else here knows better and never makes mistakes like that ;-)

    Which label? I prefer the lighter lagers, not a darker-grain like stouts and porters.

    Are you telling me that you did a voice-to-text thingy into your iPhone to this forum, and she knew "Scataphagos", but not "bear"? OMG I am so behind the times. It also means that Siri sux.

    I hate all this new-fangled shit.

    Trade in the direction of the major trend and you will not be fooled. It is also, far easier to follow the trend than, to trade against it. Like running towards the tsunami instead, of away from it. When that large tsunami hit Thailand, Srilanka and other asian countries, elephants in Thailand was running up the hills. A lot of people did as well. They all survived. Those who did not run for their lives or even walked towards the tsunami, all perished.

    One of the few who really get it. No wishy washy addendums needed. Just straight talk, this is how it is. Deal with it.
