<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1112053, member: 3011&quot;]That&#039;s the problem with general principles.&nbsp; Generally, they work.&nbsp; But occasionally you get wiped out.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure there is probably someone out there waiting for oil to revert to $2 and gold to revert to $35.&nbsp; For years there were people waiting for the Dow Jones Industrial Average to revert to $900 because there was some sort of gap in the chart that &quot;had to be filled&quot; after the breakout in the early 80s.&nbsp; Maybe someday they will turn out to be correct, but the loss in the time value of money can cripple a portfolio.&nbsp; If investing was as easy as buying what drops and shorting what goes up, everyone would be wealthy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
