I don't think the Greek issue is significant, but if Spain goes, then that would be a larger problem. The trick is knowing if there is uncertainty in your projections, and if so, how much.

" I always struggle with this because it isn't rather what you or i believe, but rather the vast majority, which is why i like some of Buffet's quotes "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain rational (or solvent in the case of shorts)" or something similar to that. The speed with which money and information moves has the potential to create some wild markets with nearly any excuse with which to swing! Derek I like your comment here: ” especially if this Greek crisis turns out to be something significant (which I do not believe). ”

I always struggle with this because it isn’t rather what you or i believe, but rather the vast majority, which is why i like some of Buffet’s quotes “the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain rational (or solvent in the case of shorts)” or something similar to that.

The speed with which money and information moves has the potential to create some wild markets with nearly any excuse with which to swing!
