If market is forward looking, why does it ever go down?

  1. Btw, in my opinion now is easier to make money then 20-30 years ago.

  3. I can make my point, did we have etf a long time ago. Did we have volatile index.
    I remember I was buying and selling dell $20 per stock and was more then happy to get $.20 per stock. Plus a lot of online fancy indexes and other crap.
    Also consider how many players now versus 30 years ago. Momentum is not even comparable.

  6. But it’s not about stock evaluations. If markets move much up or down we all gain. But does it connected with real stock value. You know the answer.
    Are you playing on US markets too, I guess you are.

    I don't think any of any of it is real as moves barely make any logical sense, I see it as a big stupid waste of space game, but I can make money from it.

    Yeah DAX before US Open then NQ till US Close, I haven't done stocks in 18years or options.

    Traded for 2hours, 13 trades, 5 losers +$200 today ( not great ), shortest hold 1min, longest 6mins.

    KISS to the MAX!!

    The market is what you make of it.
    We don’t ask you why you invest in it.
    Nor if you’re qualified enough to participate.
    In the end it’s really about supply and demand.

    Financial markets aren’t prediction ones.
    What are we trying to predict by the way ?
    You don’t get rewarded for predicting X or Y.
