and the hell of it wednseday, page-34

well ,if that's the case you'd always be out Loki .The worst thing I ever did was sell a number of stocks in 2007 .I never got around to buying some of them back ,unfortunately .

Personally if anyone thinks the markets are so terrible then they should just sell out and leave the poor deluded souls who are hanging in there with a few to enjoy their little glories and not rub there noses in it for being so naive.

In this next stanza,that is the next few years ,money is going to be worth a lot less than what it is now and some stocks are going to be worth a lot more .The equation's simple really .But yeah ,next week ,and next month ,and when the full moon aligns with the back of uranus ,and when the Chines stop buying horticultural products ,and when there's a war between cockneys ,and when the charts indicate a quadruple fibonacci retracement ,and when this country finally carks it under the weight of government taxes and ineptitude,and Obama gets caught having an affair with Patreus's wife ,and all we have are stockpiles upon stockpiles ,and the Chinese start selling gold ,and Bigdaddy decides that Atlas is worth another run ,and housing collapses ,and the head of Goldman Sachs sports a mohican....yeah there's a million things that mean we are all doomed.

To me,it's just all supposition and noise People lose money all the time in stocks ,but no one ever got rich being fully in cash and trying to time an entry .The markets are smarter than people so the best strategy is to try and hang on for the ride at your comfort level.And if you want to play gold stocks ,be prepared for many tests of your confidence
