x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Master Isolator, in fact, YING YANG views are good. Otherwise, you will not be special anymore for spotting the right trend most of the time if everyone think alike. We should welcome different views, " groupthink" is no good... I think the ratio now, Bear - 70% Bull - 30% Isolator      ( Date: 13-Jun-2012 14:23) Posted: Why everyone so bearish...... Even if greek got issue... the most is just a few percent drop for a few days, then it will recover.... The reason it will not crash down because it is already a KNOWN event....  Only surprise will crash the markets...... lol
