		<description><![CDATA[Investing is complex.  It stymies even the most seasoned investor.  In order to create meaning from the randomness, investors sometimes employ mental shortcuts known as “heuristics.” A perfect example is the adage, “Sell in May and Go Away.”  This advice suggests that investors exit the market every year before Summer, and reenter by December, to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have a history of alerting investors to bubbles and on that credibility we offer that there is a massive bubble forming right now.  In fact, it’s the most important bubble impacting investors, and the public as a whole.  It’s very easy and understandable to see where it came from.

		<description><![CDATA[Two weeks ago, Bill Valentine explained that just because the Market was hitting a new high, it didn&#8217;t portend an imminent decline. In other words, just because the Market&#8217;s &#8220;up&#8221; doesn&#8217;t mean it will have to be &#8220;down&#8221; soon. When the Market&#8217;s not hitting new highs, it can be setting back a bit, or moving [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the S&#38;P 500 hitting new All Time High levels, there is a growing chorus calling for the next big decline. It&#8217;s understandable&#8230;most investors are pessimistic and indeed fearful from what they&#8217;ve endured over the last 13 years.  We only had one period after 2000 where the Market was hitting New Highs, and that only [...]]]></description>
