For all the folks, talking heads, financial analysts, etc. that say this market MUST go up because those investment advisors that have not been in the market over the last 5 month MUST play catch-up before the year end performance figures are released (the whole "Alpha") thing, I say this:

Jump in, baby. If you are so shallow and are such a lemming that you will park your commonsense and jump into an overpriced market and bid that market up to even more over-priced levels, do it soon.

This will be nothing more than an even more sure-thing short opportunity for folks like me. What would make you jump into a bidding war over over-priced stocks with increasing unemployment and a devalued dollar (no, exports wont save you...we don't make much anymore) just to chase "Alpha"?

Should you choose to do this, you are not acting in a fiduciary manner for your clients but rather only in your own best interest.

Friends, ask your investment advisor about this before you get another "portfolio re-balance" at just the wrong time.
