Did you see the Kansas/Memphis basketball championship game? Kansas was wrong (should have lost)-----but they won!! Just like the market-----your position looks wrong-----but you win!! Today----thru a curve early to most but the wrong position early won today!!

Yeah that's what the losing coach said... he kinda summed it up that they were the better team, implying that Kansas got lucky... That is nonsense. :angry:

You are implying that if you were short you were wrong, and that is also nonsense. <_<

If you won, you were right. That's the end of the story right there. B)

This game isn't about being right or wrong, it's the serious business of making money.

If you manage your portfolio with the proper entries, exits and stops you will make money

whether you are a bull or a bear. That doesn't make one bit of difference.

The only way you will lose is if you HAVE to be right.

Besides I don't give a rat's A$$ about being right, I just want to make money. $$$$$

Seconded totally.

Chasing tail? Did that. Did it during that magical age between the invention of the pill and AIDS that will never be seen again in my lifetime.
You never get enough.
You just move on to other aspects while you still have it and before you start to look creepy or worse, pathetic.
