    I especially like this one little snippet

    Tom Forester, chief investment officer at Forester Capital Management
    Tom Forester has already predicted one stock downturn: Before the market collapsed in 2008, Forester sold off enough bank stocks to bring his fund's financial holdings down to 5%—at a time when the financial sector made up 20% of the S&P 500 index. Institutional Investor highlighted his fund as “the sole long-only mutual fund in the U.S. to gain in 2008.”
    Now Forester isn’t sleeping too well again.
    The last two crashes, he says, were sparked by one industry’s failure—tech in 2000, and housing in 2008. This go-round, he fears almost every sector has become overvalued. In fact, nine out the S&P’s 10 sectors are more expensive than their historical 10-year average, according to a recent FactSet report. (Telecom is the only exception.)
    “The next time we see a bear market, it’s going to be agonizing,” Forester says. “There won’t be anywhere to hide on the way down.”
