I'm neutral, haha. But seriously, if you're not bullish longer term, you're nuts, because over the long term inflation will always nominally reward the bull and punish the bear, even if the actual buying power of the liquidation value of the equities can fall while prices rise.

u erroniously assume that its buying that causes prices to rise

What gave you the idea that I assume that? I admit my paragraph above was somewhat tortuous, but it certainly wasn't meant to insinuate what you indicate that I assume. I was just trying to say stock prices will always go up over the long term, even if what you can buy with the proceeds on liquidation (and deploy say in gold) may (or may not) buy as much as when the prices were lower.

u sed u were neutral

Now I'm not following you. If I were neutral, what's that got to do with assuming it's buying that causes prices to rise?

"even if the actual buying power of the liquidation value of the equities can fall while prices rise."

What I am saying is that due to dollar devaluation, the nominal stock prices can have risen while at the same time you can't buy as much with the inflated dollars you got in exchange for them after that rise.

I don't think AAII can keep the market from going back to 2800 or 2700, it's not 

looking good here, especially with another FOMC a few weeks away.
