No More Mr. Nice Guy

Last week, I tried to be a nice guy and kept my negative commentary to myself. It wasn’t easy and I didn’t really get any other bears to join me in my Boycott on Bearish Commentary.  But I was happy with the results and gained a healthier perspective on the positive aspects of this market.  In my attempts to point out the risks facing investors, I can get too wrapped up in only seeing the negatives.  By forcing myself to limit bearish commentary(if only for a week), I was able to appreciate many of the legitimate upward pressures that the bulls are hung up on.  Maybe they should take a week to do the opposite of what I did.  It would certainly mess with the contrarian sentiment indicators but never fear - I doubt the permabulls have what it takes to go through the pain of trying to understand the other side.  As for me, I am done with my little experiment.  Sorry if I bored you last week.  It’s game on - NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!  Actually, I’ll try to be balanced but I won’t bite my tongue on the bad stuff.
