we are not saying crash now either - I expect the next bear cycle will be later this year, not now

    again stay humble, never get convinced you know what's going to happen -the market gods see that and punish you. It's good to have conviction when warranted but always always stay humble and ready to be surprised

    We have different perspectives here

    We have different perspectives here Matt. If you think visit to 3200-3500 is a crash , then you are right. I consider that a normal correction ( IF that happens).
    you guys called the top WAAY before anyone did … I think around mid to late 2021.
    I got out of speculative names around that time except XBI.

    I was bullish in August last year. JkI was wrong. But how long was I wrong for ?
    maybe 3 months ?  
    I’m not trying to be or prove a smart ass here. Trust me … i have been short plenty of times all along. That said I lost a lot of money last 18 months. Would love to see any bears that can claim they minted big money in this “crash”. 

    For the kind of rate shocks we have been experiencing- one would expect the markets to trade below 3000

    But where are we ?

    and I’m ready to switch gears across all my accounts if the situation warrants. So absolutely being humble.

    And lastly … I never said you guys called for a crash now 

    I was responding to a post by another member.

    First rule of bear market: protect capital.  That is a win in itself.  Then second:  go for a bunch of singles and not home runs.  Trying to “mint” seems risky and unwise unless your timing is impeccable. 

    The markets will likely trade

    The markets will likely trade below 3000 but not for long.  I posted a while back I expect the catalyst to be a nuclear BS setup since it's so easy to imagine... 1 day drop to 2222 ?

    Well said Matt.  Truth be

    Well said Matt.  Truth be told it's absolutely excellent to have perma bulls like Arun (I know he doesn't want to known that way) as a contributor.   I see myself as more of a perma bear because I will put my foot and my money out there saying 3200 is coming - NO MATTER WHAT.  But without time frames, it's all bupkiss ...init it ?
