They think that it is inconsistent to get bullish after the week's severe drop-off. They think that rigor demands staying the course, even if the market met my targets. That is what I have always done. I buy weakness and sell strength. I thought that the weakness on Friday was overdone and that if you haven't sold, you will have a better chance to sell later.
Prices are lower for almost every single stock.
We are trying to make money here. We are not a college debating society and my column is about making money, not about taking a position when the market was higher and sticking with it no matter what. That's what fools do. I don't like being a fool. I like to make money.
