Go Ahead, Do it; Sell Your Stocks. I Dare You

For the sake of brevity, I am going to condense this post into a 10 salient thoughts.

1. Just because you sold stocks doesn’t mean they’re heading lower.

2. Calling tops in this market is equal to boating the horn of africa in a canoe. Good luck with that.

3. Don’t leave financial advice in the comments section.

4. When stocks go higher, they tend to keep going higher.

5. When stocks goes lower, they tend to reverse and go higher.

6. The over-arching trend is higher, since the beginning of time (sans the dark ages).

7. Generally speaking, it’s a dumb idea to bet against the guy with the printing press.

8. If the market should go down for a few days, even weeks, that’s called a buying opportunity, not a top.

9. TVIX is for retards.

10. Ben Bernanke is waiting for you to try something stupid. Go ahead and test him.

    Didn’t you say the market would stop going up around tax day? Isn’t that essentially ‘top’ calling?

        Don’t make your exchange student go back to his native Japan. No one actually wants to live in Japan.

        Dr. Fly says…..
        ” Iā€™m exempt from these 10 commandments.”

        That would be….THE 11th COMMANDMENT šŸ˜€

    Not all of us in Cyprus are Russians or tax evaders.
