That they will ALL be shaken out is exagerated me thinks. Many yes, all I sincerely doubt. Personally I don't have a major problem pulling the trigger to get into the market (getting out has always been the problem), so I'm not concerned about missing out, because thats highly unlikely.

My timeframes have just shortened dramatically SP, thats all. In my opinion 'Buy and Hold' will not be a successful strategy going forward. The market as a whole is increasingly short sighted, and as such is forcing us to shorten our time frames.

Am I nervous and jumping at shadows? Hardly... I'm just trying to move my money in and out of the market to achieve a greater return with less risk than the old buy & hold.

Opportunity costs don't hurt me, real losses do.
