agree- but dare say they'll be back on board its part of the market unfortunately...but this year should be more of a sit and hold year than pure day trade if you want to maximise some of the strong macro factors. Calm before the storm...exactly what I was thinking- imo its in an uptrend from a medium term view. check the charts say 1 yr 2yr back the caml before the storm has actually occured many cases in btas history.
