....not all of it - but a large portion.

Will wait for a dip - and closely watch a couple of select stocks for a better buy in range.

I made this move without any quantitative metrics to support it....and I usually don't do that.

+1 but I'm basing mine off historical trends.

I've been out since 1,960 S&P in late June. Will look to buy in the 1940 to 1920 level.

I based my exit on Elliot wave, several technical indicators, and the fact I was up big on my futures position and wanted to take some profits.

I have been on the sidelines with my and employers contributions since the first of the year. Seriously considering pulling my equity holdings, 85% of total, out as well.

My target on 1/1/14, was to get back in with my cash at 14.5 Dow. The Dow today is almost exactly where it was on 1/1.

Threads like this reaffirm my position that the bubble is nowhere near busting.

While you're at it you want to share anything else your crystal ball is telling you?

AAPL is overpriced.
OUTR is set up for a short squeeze.
ANGI is still a piece is shite, but you should cover your shorts.
No one should ever consider P an investment and trading it is no better than a craps table.
When it comes to duration, be a seller, not a buyer.

Anything else?

You left out that BOIL has become predictable.

Haven't read that thread. Have they started their BOIL arb fund yet?

Nope, no BOIL arb fund yet. Unlike most of the arb funds, I suspect the people in the BOIL thread have actually made money.

Although I wouldn't call any market a "bubble" right now.

Has Flask even read the thread? It's pretty fricking predictable..........and by that I mean Natural gas prices........My OP was SPOT ON.

The only problem I hadn't figured was actual logistics of pipeline capacity.........

You give the impression you believe you are the only person on this board who knows how to make money in the stock market.

Given the fact that your analytical skills don't allow you to figure out if I have read the thread from this 2 sentence post:

Please forgive my skepticism of your ability to beat out hedge fund managers with multiple ivy league degrees.

Don't listen to these douches. They talk down to literally EVERYONE on this board when it comes to finance. 99% of the people reading your thread are learning and getting something out of it.

They just criticize and make fun without ever explaining. Luckily, the rest of us have normal social skills and welcome the discussion.

Although I consider you a douche as well (I kid), I agree with your statement.
