Subtle difference but the perma bulls (90% of investors) see it that way. I am exhausted after the day out on the boat. But, I did get s shipping notice from Amazon about a certain writers book!<br /><br />Anon,<br />I still cannot believe all that drama over 6-8 weeks was about Greece, I just cannot.

Im still bearish for now but closer to the "neutral" position than I was last week. <br /><br />I was wrong about where I thought the indicators were going to be, and if I slide all the way back to neutral/slight bull, I will be wrong to have been bearish for the first time since 07.
