Market Gears Up for...
Questions asked and answered by PATRICK1
- Q:
this is by far one of the oddest and most difficult markets to trade through
that i have seen. we had this slow motion sell off for 2 and a half weeks
followed by a one day 1.6% pop in the s&p on monday with no follow through just
a flat market .most rallys r sold off and most big dips come right back.we have
seen huge intraday spikes that take place in less than 2 min off no news
.volumes are very lite,support levels have offered no support and resistence
levels have offered no resistence.with all this horrible news going on if this
were any other time we would have seen a small crash by now.it seems to me that
we have a massive fed put on this market that won't let anything go down to
much.if things continue to get worse its strongly beleived that the fed will
come in and bail the stock market out for the 4th or 5th time now. im in heavey
cash here finding it hard to trade this market .somthing just doesent feel right
about the over all market here...it really seems like at any day we could wake
up to a mini crash off europe garbage. the fed will bail us out again but it
will be slow to the rescue. -

- Q:
FB at 33.4 anyone??? i remember watching a video on cnbc about this rich guy who
was trying to trade in his house for facebook shares.dont know if he did but im
sure he would have buyers remorse now. people would have done anything to get fb
ahead of the ipo and now you can get it much lower than the ipo.talk about an
mass over hype.well im glad people r looking at its valuation and business model
and not just pumping it to a
100 on a crazy hope and dream of mass growth.still down here looks interesting
for a trade at least -

- Q:
everybody yesterday was so bearish and was saying how the s & p was going to
open up around 1340.jpm was suspost to destroy the market ,we were suspost to
see a big drop .this market has everybody running around little a chicken with
its head chopped off.instead we surge higher off horrible news and add to the
rally off the most useless garbage data there is (CONSUMER SEMTIMENT).you simply
have to be long this market right now,give all the bad news thats already out
with a euro garbage ,china slow down ,bad and weak us data ,and now jpm's
financial issues.and yet the market still refuses to go down and instead surges
higher.you can not ignore that at all. add to that we were not even that over
sold by much at all.glad to be in cash here .this market is truly one of the
hardest markets i have ever seen to trade in. to me this mass refusal to go
lower by the market is due to the fed put in the market.any bad news is being
off set by the beleife that the fed will bail out and prop up the stock market
againg foe the 10th time now. -

A: I am in pain....but did more buying into it. This is ow it is done. You buy things
LOW....not high. And you take the pain. It is very very rare you ever enter a trade at the
perfect time. That is precisely why you scale in and scale out of them = dont ever buy all
at once and it is very rare I sell all at once. more - Post your own answer
