Thanks for your post. Now I’m really worried. That is a sign of a market topping. I bought a junior company in oil in January, and I got 60% YTD return on that. It was an incredible run. The more I look around, the more I think that an intermediate top in commodity market is coming really soon. I have been in this market for the past five years, and I have never been more worried than now. Yes, the ride and return was great, but the higher it goes, the more worried I get.

Yes – good point Capitalist. What goes up must come down!! Out of interest, what US stocks are you buying – if you don’t mind me asking?

It is really nice and convenient, even, when the peanut gallery leaps in and tells you what *not* to buy.

I am also finding that everyone I know is talking about investing in commoditiy plays (or at least talking about it). US large caps these days have about the same popularity as toxic waste. If I mention that many of these names have doubled earnings in five years and the stocks have barely budge, I get a predictable, “But the dollar could reach par!”. I love it! I am loading up on US large caps.
