As some of you may recall, when our man Dennis Gartman was asked the following question, here's what he said:
Myself? I'd offer up a different answer – maybe *%#&! or “good ridance! Something along those lines. Because, as you’ve seen, this hasn’t been just a bullish year, it’s been a never-before-seen, unprecedented, all-records-broken kind of year with things like 12 up months in a row (never happened before).
I won’t bother digging up all the other ‘never-happened-before’ items, but they’re there. This is nicely illustrated with the bearish fund symbol HDGE.
And then there's the volatility, which is basically grinding around near 9.
What do I think about 2018? Oh, that’s easy. I’m way less interested in stuff I cannot control (like this idiotic, fake, propped-up, phony, manipulated “market” of ours) and way more interested in stuff I can control (like my beloved Slope of Hope, which is going to be reborn in an utterly new form with the new year).
Suffice it to say, the branding of Slope as a bearish blog is going away.
