Midas, yes I would prefer to be positive as well. Lets hope the markets continue higher and forecast economic growth going forward. Just remember, along the way to expect the occasional hiccup. In a bull market the market climbs the "wall of worry" where bad news is good news and these pull backs are buying opporunities. When I see a 1000 point drop in less then an hour I really do not know how to take that and automatically become defensive. We needed a correction and we just got something. My problem is I do not know how to read it. This is just me and my problem to deal with. But I would prefer to be a bull versu a bear.
