I was just trying to point out that you can not always count on news reporters being wrong.<BR/><BR/>I sold all my investments last year and have only been trying to trade the market at extremes as I am a bear. I sold my shorts to early in this current down turn so I am obviously not a perfect prognosticator either.<BR/><BR/>I really do love your blog and was only trying to point out the possibility of alternative point of view not trying to take a cheap shot at you. One of the reasons I like your blog is it forces me to consider alternative points of view from my current bearish take on things.<BR/><BR/>Sorry if my words and inadvertent timing of the post offended you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333088.post-86811398062009936672008-07-07T13:11:00.000-04:002008-07-07T13:11:00.000-04:00Just for the record: the two comments you see abov...Just for the record: the two comments you see above were posted to the blog when the cash S&P was trading at 1243. <BR/><BR/>Notice how both people waited until after the big break we've seen today to the market below Thursday's low before they had the courage to state their views. <BR/><BR/>Sad to say, we can't make money by trading the past.Carl Futiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01624989905417650273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333088.post-65103316078104201042008-07-07T13:04:00.000-04:002008-07-07T13:04:00.000-04:00ES broke down to NEW LOWS for the year.
