china gomen says the story about allowing more shorts is to "take out the froth" - to improve liquidity to curb shadow financing - probably a good move in the long run.

you are describing me too for most of the time. me not the die hard type, as retaining my healthy cash flow is more important, well, for most of the time. who knows, soon 'cash is king' drama would surface when there are crashes as in the 1998,m 2008 ...  hmm.gif

see... the pyschology is this:

on a good run, one tends to cut short and get out too quick.
on a bad run, one tends to stay on longer than warranted.
so, "lose more, win less".
over a thousand runs, u lose for sure.
stock market trading is not different from casino play in this aspect.
it takes one to be very disciplined to get out at "right time" consistently, whether make or break .

just talking ya..? laugh.gif

The bulls really have no fear because the Feds (around the world, not just US) favor them all the time.
China's own Fed once again acted in their favor.

But, let's see how the Greece situation will work out. Need them surprise everyone with more bearish stories.  brows.gif
