Your faithful scribe fancies himself a humorist. Somebody stop me! Pleeeaase!
10. You go out of your way to attend a Chicago Bulls -
Vancouver Grizzlies basketball game just for the sheer pleasure
of screaming, "Go Bulls Go! Down with the bears!"
9. Favorite author: Harry Dent (who's predicting a 35,000
Dow), though you think he's a pansy ass conservative.
8. Looking back at the Dow since it's inception, you
wonder why everyone called 1929-1934 a depression. Can't they see
it was just a large correction?
7. Favorite philosopher: Alfred E. Neuman who said
"What! Me Worry?"
6. Ruminating on philosophy, you think, there's always a
bull market in something! I'll just play the sectors that are
going up.
5. Favorite movie (by a long shot): Raging Bull!
4. Your pet is a bulldog, but only because your
spouse won't let you keep cattle!
3. Saddest song you ever heard: The Lonely Bull.
2. Your pet cause is to ban bull fighting,
nevertheless....
1. Your dream vacation: running with the bulls in
Pamplona!
And I got to admit - at heart I am the eternal optimist and more predisposed to be bullish than bearish. However I am also prudent and believe it is wise to be aware of the possibilities of a bear market and the havoc it can wreak on your portfolio.
