Re Fisher: He is obviously an extremely successful investor and has done well by his clients and for himself. However, if you track his articles in Forbes he just adjusts his forecast whenever convenient. I am not talking about making mistakes or poor predictions, we all do that all the time, me more than others. But he would start by saying that the markets would be up 40% in the next 12 months for example, as he did about a year ago. Then when nothing pans out, he makes it look like he predicted the run up in the emerging markets and the stagnation in the US markets; which he did not. I would be careful trading based on his, or anybody else's, opinion. Right on Bill. right on.

Sticking to your plan and not panicking no matter what the market is doing is always going to serve you better over the long term. However, you need to make sure your plan is sound ;) I've been following Ken Fisher's ideologies in his book, Only Three Questions that Count, and on his new blog at <a href="http://fisher-investments.typepad.com/" rel="nofollow">Fisher Investments Blog</a>. Thank you also for your insights - all these in combination have helped me become a better trader. I think of all those notes, no. 8 is KEY.
