Don't Personalize the Markets
By Gary Tanashian
A few articles I have written lately have elicited some responses that have been less than complimentary. This generally comes with the 'public writer' territory, but negative feedback seems to come more intensely when the market is at critical junctures where its fortunes are potentially near a point of change.
