I hear ya.. I personally think its a psychological battle. The old adage "what goes up must come down".. Translating into something like "i want to buy MCD, but its up 10% this year, its got to come back down. so i'll wait. Otherwise, as soon as i buy it, it will drop that 10% the next few weeks" lol

But, as you mentioned plenty of times in the past. You dont get paid to wait when the cash is sitting on the sidelines. At least if your IN, and it does go down, your getting paid to wait - at a discount none the less.
