It's rare to meet someone who, after an incredible run like that, does not suffer from an inflated head. ;) If one looks at successful market timing as like dodging bullets, as Shawn above said, then it makes sense, since you can only flip heads so many times in a row.Invest It Wiselyhttp://www.investitwisely.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091367287813993533.post-24831824253850555862010-12-01T00:07:26.406-05:002010-12-01T00:07:26.406-05:00It sounds quite fascinating indeed.

Regardless of how you frame such successful runs (dodging some bullets or being phenomenally talented), they don't guarantee future success.Shawn Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05668363529447868141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091367287813993533.post-89535287162948452062010-11-30T16:08:14.145-05:002010-11-30T16:08:14.145-05:00Sometimes the market cooperates in surprising ways...Sometimes the market cooperates in surprising ways.
