Standing in the river waving a stick.
The weather can change real fast in the Colorado high country.
It can be sunny and hot all day, then an outrageous storm comes rolling in around 4:00.
The temperature dropped from 90 to 73 in a matter of minutes yesterday. Crazy.
Thunder so loud you can almost feel it.
Rain coming down nice and easy… rarely does it rain hard up here… and there's almost always a rainbow somewhere.
The lightning here is no joke.
When it cracks and strikes, you realize how close to the sky you are in the high country.
It can split a tree in half easy.
And standing in a river waving a stick when there's lighting overhead is a good way to get dead.
The great author John Gierach said that.
He was referring to how standing in a river waving a 9-foot carbon fly rod was a bad idea when there was lightning about.
If you got struck by lightning, you'd be dead.
Standing in the river waving a 9-foot fly rod would be a good way to get struck by lightning.
Not smart.
Easily avoidable.
Same thing in the stock market.
We are in a bear market, folks.
To avoid getting struck by lightning in this market, don't go long a stock when the broad market is going down.
A bear market, like lightning, can split your stock value in half, easy.
You can look at a six-month chart of SPY and see the bear trend.
