I'm on the road in the rig...


But it's days like today that show you why it's so hard to do market timing. You just never know when those very few huge up days are going to hit. Better just to be in and ride the wave over time.

Now what you feel like, if you're not in.... is that you must "chase" the market. Then you sit and wait for the next big down day. And we run more and so on... It's why I advise against trying to "wait" for some stock to come off 50 cents. While you're waiting the shares run 8%. Painful.
