Consider it when a 'shiny shoe' mutual fund promoter hypes a future economic boom.
even an ignorant "shiny shoe" guy like me would prefer if you didn't misrepresent what i post. please quote using my words where i said we are in or can expect an immediate BOOM. i didn't and wouldn't say that. unfortunately you are too biased to acknowledge that you may be playing a little loose with the facts again.

here's the deal - picture a man walking up a very large hill. next imagine that this man is playing with a yo-yo.
if the hill is the long term market, the yo-yo is the daily headline. it is very easy to become distracted by the yo-yo and miss the bigger picture.

the market is poised to continue on the upswing after the election hysteria subsides. we are not entering a boom market - there are too many issues to slow that down. but the absence of a boom does not necessitate a collapse. the boom of the late '90's was artificial and we shouldn't expect to see that type of action for quite a long time.

but tell me tw - did you bother looking into those links before you decided to continue your biased responses to me? have you ever had your portfolio compared to a solid fund-based approach? or would that be unthinkable because no one could possibly teach you something new? do you just know that your way is the ONE RIGHT WAY because it is your way?

it really is ironic, you have more in common with hannity/limbaugh than you will ever understand. people like you three will scream about the inferiority of others, rather than acknowledge that you don't hold the patent on the truth.

that is the difference here. you go on the attack if someone looks at the same information you do and comes up with a different conclusion. you can't fathom that there might just be 2 ways that, while different, are both effective. life just isn't as black and white as you want to make it out to be.

but please, give me your best shot. i look forward to reading another diatribe about the evils of men like me.
