Re: Bull Mania Alive and Well

Well, I have given up trying to figure out how this discussion is going to
make me or any one else that trades any money. I have three questions
regarding the labeling of the stock market:

1) What difference does it make how it's labeled?

2) Who cares how it's labeled?

3) What is one to do if the adopted labeling is wrong/right?

I suggest taking a moving average of personal choice based on whatever
timeframe is typically used to  invest or trade. If price is above the MA,
buy, if below, sell. Call it a manic buy if above the MA and call it a
panic sell if below the MA. Most importantly, don't get too wrapped up in
the labeling to forget to put on the trade!

Regards,

Tom Alexander
