yes, after a couple of weeks of intra-day swings, when it finally breaks out, quite tough to determine if it will be doing a new range/direction.

 

anywayz, holiday season is here, hope n desire for a greater 2011 guys.

 

 

Hoho, yes, I'm on 3 weeks leave. not in town....

just some ramblings for thought

 

over the past 2 weeks we have seen the market sentiment change three times from extreme bullish to bearish and back to bullish as of today. normally we don’t see the herd (avg Joe) switch trading directions this quickly. over the past 10 years I found that the average time for the herd to reach an extreme bullish or bearish bias takes between 2-5 weeks in length. It is this herd mentality which makes for some excellent trend trading opportunities. but with the quantitative easing, thinner traded market and lack of trading participants (smaller herd) I find everyone is ready to change directions at the drop of a hat.

 

the old school traders/investors have mostly exited the trading arena from frustration or losing to much money. this group accounted for a decent chuck of liquidity in the market and was also the slowest of the herd to change directions.

 

the new school, today’s smaller herd is much more aggressive & quicker to act on mkt gyrations. I think this is because the only people left in the market are those who make a living pulling money from the market and those who feel they are really close to mastering the stock market. it is these individuals who are using trading platforms with real time data & charts to help get a pulse on the market so they can change directions when the big boys do. I feel this is the reason why the market is able to turn on a dime one week to another over the past 18 months. the easy prey (novice and delayed data traders) are few and far between and the fight to take money for other educated traders seems to be getting a little more interesting to say the least.

It's alright.

Your money, do as you wish.

As long as you dont need it to save a life.

Or you wont feel too upset losing it all.

It's alright

 

But frankly $5000, really cant do much even if you margin trade.

I wont advise margin trade anyway.

 

go look for a steady high dividend yielding name and plant your money there.

would be the simplest.
