Comments on this post are a great indicator of the markets and the humane nature...

(1) We're only slightly better than lemmings

(2) We LOVE theorizing after things have happened

(3) We don't like people who're not like us ("go f**k yourself pumper")

Am sure all of us would have been saying the opposite to bears in summer of '07. "Fed is not asleep, you know", "Market just hasn't understood these complex securities enough to appreciate them" and like. We are the reason market swoons both ways so much and is so much fun.

I am claiming I am not immune to these fallings but I try and catch myself - I fail a lot, but I try. A Swiss saying goes - "When one shuts one eye, one does not hear everything." Try and keep that damn eye open, comrades!

Anyway, good job, Cami! Your blogs are one of the few I have on my Live Bookmarks and I enjoy reading your perspective.
