Stay long. Default talks means Fed won't taper for a long time according to market wizard David Tepper.
Haha as always a last minute fix... Like little fucking children. Everything is a last minute fix....all talk no action until the last 17 minutes... Keep raising that debt ceiling.... This is the weakest economy in the world. With a debt ceiling that only goes up how could anyone possibly think this economy is #1...all smoke & mirrors.. $17,000,000,000,000 And absolutely no talk of ever finding a fix...
I went long DIA yesterday when it dipped, still long today, and will continue to be long for some time. A deal is inevitable, the last 17 times this has happened, markets were up 1-2% in the week after the shutdown ended.
The fix is easy: stop creating money out of nothing. Do you really think they (the banksters) don't know it?
Seems like everyone thinks there will be a sell on the news here... and when everyone seems to think the same thing... I even saw a marketwatch article on why the market should sell on the news... I dont know whats going to happen but I do know the path of least resistance is to the upside.
Would an Up-and-Dump be viewed as upside or as downside? How do you know the majority does not think like you?
Again, if a big financial event like that is expected, just bracket the market both ways: buy deep out of the money S&P 500 put AND call options. Now the trader could make tons of money regardless of market direction, if indeed the market moves in a big way... The only problem? The options sellers know that and they won't sell you their options for cheap.
I thought that most would think it would be a sell on the news event based on posts im seeing on here, other blogs i follow online, what was on the tv, and articles I read online... who knows maybe most thought it would be a buy the news event but this is what i thought. if it was an up-and-dump i guess it would be a downside, if the dump would hold. but I think every dump will be bought anyways... it would just be another buying opportunity just look at the tape this market is relentless and from the looks of things this debt ceiling crisis, like other crises is just another catalyst to send the market to all time highs
