Everyone dreams of playing the stock market and hitting it big in the 50 hottest stocks; however, very few people will experience that.

In a rare interview on CNBC Wall Street veteran Joe Granville said we are in a bull market that he thinks will last for two years. He also talked about when he thinks it is best to sell and what you should do as an investor. He also said is out of gold, but will buy back in if it goes through 1000 - which I think it can really do.

I'm in the Bahamas visiting with Dave Skarica and a few others. Skarica writes the financial newsletter AddictedtoProfits and is a regular guest on Canada's ROBTV(their version of CNBC) and is often seen on the gold investment conference circuit.

A month ago when this rally began most people were skeptical, but now all anyone is asking is how much higher will the market go? It is still down for the year, but now almost everyone is looking for the rally to continue from here - with many thinking this may be the start of a new bull market.

In this video I talk about where the bear market will really end. Over the spring I will be doing a lot of research trying to find other signs that were visible at important bear market bottoms so that we will know to look for them next year.
