Easy money makes for temptation. Especially in a market like this. It is hard not to be bullish when the stock market refuses to go down. This sentiment is reflected in the percentage of respondents to sentiment polls that remain bullish. The challenge for investors is to keep to their investment plan.

In today’s screencast we note the need to stick to your knitting and follow your own investment style.
