It is tough being the guy who points out problems to people who don't want to know about them,

Not to people who sell short.

There are always "problems." Everytime I read a guy like Puplva, I think of Michael Metz, chief investment advisor for Oppenheimer, who got on his "bear" kick back in 1994, on the eve of the greatest run-up in the history of the stock market.

Metz ought to be in prison for what he did to his clients.

You can disagree with him and you sure as heck don't have to follow is advice or base your investment decisions on what he says. I see much truth in what he says and use it to my advantage.

"Metz ought to be in prison for what he did to his clients."

What about Joe "The Bat" Battipaglia and Abbey Joseph Cohen? They've been telling everyone that we are at a bottom since Dow 10,500. Abbey recently revised her "one-year prediction" on the Dow from 11,500 to 10,800 (this a prediction she made in February, so she was predicting 11,500 by February 2003). I figure that's a 30% loss, should they be in the slammer, also?

Good point. Hisotry shows it's better to invest, even if you buy at the high point.
