in all honesty I stopped thinking about stocks ... the fundamentals have never been worse, the stock market increases either come from a devaluation of currencies caused by the printing/easing, or the chase for yield based upon interests rates which don't reflect the premium for risk but rather crazed monetary policy.

I have taken my beating in the market and I missed the boat on the upturn after the crisis because although I thought things were corrupt I never dreamed it was that corrupt and that the public could be either that greedy or that stupid or both.

I hold my precious metal shares devalued by the obvious manipulation and only hope the insitutions survive to allow a market to continue to exist while the overall system resets.

NOTHING will convince me to buy anything outside of the PM industry ... hope those who buy other sectors make big gains, but I lack the stomach for worse than casino odds.
