Whenever NDX touched that top line we get bull market 101 from Slamma Jamma Team (SJT) right before market dumps on them the very next day, but what is funnier is that NDX is today almost where it was a year ago...

Meanwhile we have major proxies like AMD, DELL and many others mostly in Semis and Tech that are in full blooded bear market. And of course there are stocks in the same group that enjoyed big gains simultaneously.

So I ask: If you did not invest selectively or if you didn't trade during this period of time, on the bull or bear side doesn't matter, what good do you think comes from being a perma bull or bear. Because it is not only you gained nothing you lost the most valuable commodity: "Time".

No XD, you're WRONG. As Youmast pointed out the other day, inflation and loss in value of dollar has degraded the value of the gains So, its actually worse than you paint

thanks for the sage advice, I'll remember that as I'm laughing all the way to the bank for not having churned my account into parking meter change and for not letting micro-timing blind me from my wealth building macro-strategy. Its easy to take the hard road and hard to take the easy road. PHT still at it I guess. Pocket Book Penance lives on.

Hey Vector, post a trade every now again in order for people to take you seriously. I can claim, for example, that I am long from 1974 bottom. Look how smart I am. Da-chiefs 1095 is nothing compared to me now. What good does it do? And if your answer is "I don't trade", then what the hell are you doing at the TRADING board? Denleo

Trading is not just about knowing where the market goes... It takes much more than that.

In my early I met traders who were mostly right about the market went broke ....and I knew some others who made money regardless of their opinion.

So I wonder why you get touchy when being perma-something is discussed. Looks like your comment is not only a preemptive auto-defense , it also shows how amateur you are for thinking that it is just a black and white.
