i'm not saying you should be a superskeptic perma bear. not at all. over the course of my 31-plus years in the business, i have seen averages climb way too high and see the market make people way too much money to ever be that clinical and close minded. being negative has not been a lucrative strategy and i see no reason why it should change now. there are a handful of short sellers out there, and i never recommend short selling in this show, because it's inherently more risky than being long. it's a question of arithmetic. at beast best, the stock goes to zero when you short sell, and you could lose, 200%, 300%, 1,000%, you could lose an infinity amount of money. when you own a stock, the opposite is true. you could quintuple your original investment. ask anyone who bought apple back in march 2009. when it pulled back to less than 200 bucks, they have snagged a 580% return. i'm not telling you to be so afraid of what could go wrong you pass up on that kind of massive gain, even if you are incredibly bullish it would be silly to not make through are y
