    Not making any money? LOL. Read a few of my previous posts and perhaps you'll see I have a clue. As to the topic of volatility....the current market pales in comparison to historical levels of volatility. The VIX, for example, (a second-fiddle way of measuring volatility by any standard but it will suffice for now) is hovering near 10-year lows. I'd go a little further into the topic but I doubt you'd have a clue as to what I'm talking about.

    With so many Central Banks providing easing eg Fed, UK, Japan, Switzerland, Korea, ECB I doubt even if they know what fair value to the markets are.

    Yeah, LOL. Market soars on any whiff of good news, and market holds on any bad news. We could have a nuclear war break out at this point, and the market would hold. Ben Bernanke should definitely be nominated as the Man of the Year, don't you think?

  6. ??? what really does business have to do with the news?

    the economy has always been bad

    news is usually always bad

    that doesn't stop people from starting a new business

    and people who have money from investing in them

    I know I wouldn't invest with you if everytime you read bad news you decided to sell your business

    I read that when the news of JFK being assassinated in 1963 came out, the market went down initially but then went back to new highs for the year.

    Listen to the tone of the market, bad news has been coming out, market only goes down a few points and then recovers. It's a bull market, whether one likes it or not.

    when you personalize people know that you are holding a losing hand.
