Go back for decades and "sell in May" works quite well. It hasn't done quite as well in recent years. Whether this is a temporary (5-7 year)...
This may be the key point. Before the Feb. and July drops, we saw very similar action as the S&P hit 1460 (Feb) and 1550-1555 (July) on multiple...
And I thought Ben might be different... Not a dime's worth of difference. Maybe he'll have us down to Japan's interest rate level before...
Let's clear this up now...the post below was supposed to be a joke. It took a shot at permabears and their doomsday predictions.
Back up for discussion.. :D
Well, it happened before (late 70s and early 80s). Not pretty, but it wasn't the Great Depression either. Those who played rates right with real...
You permabears just kill me. Oh well, gotta buy from someone during the dips.
Well, LTCM and the Russian & Asian crises all came in within the same general period. To dismiss them as "regional" now is sort of hindsight...
My guess (and it's just that) is that we'll play around between low 1400s and 1480-1500 on S&P with more low volume trading. Then, sometime...
Yes, throw in a huge day last Friday and it's a large 4% swing. Of course, *last* Friday's move was almost as large as the past 5 days, and 6...
Maybe over 300 like it has been doing on big down days? But that would require some volume and real conviction...
The problem is that Gross is a macro-level bonds guy, not a day or swing trader. Two different animals. Someone with his time horizons doesn't...
I used to think Gross and Steven Roach at Morgan Stanley were different than most talking heads. I still think Roach may be. But I'm not sure...
I can't see why anyone would want to go short at the close of last Thursday...Bernanke or not. A little Tech Analysis 101 re: Thursday: 1) It...
Everyone starts these threads after 1 or 2 big down days, so why not start one when it's more likely to happen? I"m bullish long-term, but it...
You assert a lot of things here ("comparing past volatility to present day volatility is not correct," "The dominoe effect, from current exposure...
You're not serious, I hope? All the NWO conspiracy talk has been around at least 20 years. In fact, there was a lot more of it around the end of...
If you look at the S&P 500 from 1997-2002, there were quite a few periods where 3% to 6% daily moves were tightly clustered. While we're...
The volume is tapering off so much on each selloff/test, though. It's looking less and less convincing, even if it does drop a little lower.
