Same organization that was complicit in the 2008 financial crisis lol. Means nothing. Stocks will buy the dip. Some will be disappointed how shallow the dip is. Anyways, the market doesn't just fall out the sky. It's not going to just gap like that out of nowhere and that be it. Doesn't work that way on a Monday with a weekly gap. Back in January there was a huge weekly gap with the deepseek news and it just spent the week going higher to fill the gap. So no, it's not just going to fall like that. Market is hitting new highs anyways.
Well if that's the case, you could design a system where whenever it gaps on a Monday open just buy futures to oblivion. You'll retire in no time. Of course, if you actually run a system that buys the Monday open and sells as soon as the Friday close is hit and you analyze your results, I doubt you would be profitable enough with such a strategy to employ it, especially taking the risk profile into account, and comparing to say buying and holding S&P. Markets generally don't have major bottoms in a double bottom fashion and rarely does basic technical analysis play a +EV role in determining market direction in the long-term, but regardless it doesn't probably matter to many people on this forum if the market pulls back 3-7% or 15-30%. I don't understand why pundits say things like the market will retest lows. Studying the picture of major market bottoms rarely has a 2x bottom look to it. I'd think the market will either take out the lows, and fairly aggressively, or have a medium-term pullback and then continue the bull market. The market is overbought enough though currently that a little news should push it down fast I would think. At least that's what I'm hoping. I have no expectation or frankly care, personally, if it is a 5% or 30% drop at the moment.
Were talking about a smaller and smaller group of buy and hold. The boomers money has ben distributed to their ZEROS and the market needs, more than ever, to extract all that potential generational wealth from the young retards. Most educated people in the US and the rest of the world invest on very short term frames and sell often. Especially seeing the bubbles in Tesla and Nvida. Some much money in such a very few companies. And it is because US and US listed corp are losing most all of the edge they once had. There are very very few companies and people in the US that can execute. There is no more retirement funds institutionally and Insurance Corp dont even care because the US govt will bail them out and they dont even pay claims anyway. The amount of large institutions out there willing to just buy and hold are fewer and fewer..which means the means the buying and related inside information can also be controlled much easier. Each big sell off going forward will extract more and more of the Boomer's kids wealth. Much of the serious global money now goes to real estate, gold, oil, bitcoin and thru large funds in Singapore, Dubai, Hong Kong. There is also big money in military, wars, weapons,ect.. The only companies I can see holding long are companies that track people, profile people, compile large data banks on people and what they do...on companies that do surveillance, cameras, sensors, satellite observation, border tracking and that trace and eavesdrop and tap large communication venues, that spy and infiltrate groups, companies, govts and military. The people buying every dip are fewer and fewer. And there are a LARGE GROUP of real pure sht stocks on Wall Street..so the individual stock buy and holders are fewer and fewer as well. Same goes for Bonds and Dollar trading. Since the Dot com crash-->Then Real Estate Bubble Crash-->each revival gets more and more suspect. Less and Less people believe in the integrity and less people get sucked into the behavioral conditioned hype that comes from wall street and is reinforced by social media bots, paid pumpers and media stock promotion companies The current AI and Quantum conditioned behavioral hype is the LEAST believable of all the hyped bubbles and has already been disproven and superseded by China The art of the deal is not in a valid, integral , long term healthy US stock buy and hold..Its to steal and grab every last upward move in a hyped bubble stock, then dump it as quickly as possible and transfer the money to gold or bitcoin or real estate overseas
Yeah, that has changed. We have the most functional government ever now. No government has been as functional as this one.
So let's make pretend you didn't see the Friday headline and you wake up Monday morning with the markets red, remember you have not a single clue why its down....what is going to be your first trade??
What was Friday's headline....I don't know about it. I don't get so horny and excited over news like most amateur clowns. Every morning it's business as usual. Doesn't matter if premarket is lighly red, deeply red, lightly green, deeply green. My first trade is my only trade. I only place one a day. I examine a number of variables and elements to draw up my future framework image for the day....and I use that general, loose, treasure map to guide me when to strike and generally close the position. Waiting patiently, calmly, observantly
Got it, what was your day trade on Friday? And when will you know what single trade you are placing on Monday at the open?
