    As long as oil stays up and refining capacity is at an all-time low, the threat of $8/gallon gasoline and $10 diesel is gonna be on the table.
    We're starting a full-fledged bear market that will end in recession unless that changes.
    Any upskike in the indexes is just that. A bear market rally.
    The trend is down. Don't fight the Fed. And don't fight the price of fuel.

    I love these newbies to the game that think nothing matters and stocks only go up.
    I'm sure he was buying last December too.
    Fundamentals may not matter intra-day or even on week long swings, but they sure as hell matter long term. Quarter to quarter.

    These markets are controlled by funds that have billions in assets under management. For the most part they have to be long stocks.
    Well who the hell wants to own a stock of a company that has no prospects of earnings for years out?
    Or even a company that does make money, at 50X forward?

    What that one guy write? "These things don't matter".... LOL.... let me find my flight attendant post...

    hahhaha... here:

    So far, err no!! We are going back down. Let's see how far down it can go today. According to my calculation, the next fibo level is at 3816, calculated off the extreme low from March 27, 2020 at the height of the pandemic and the extreme top on Dec. 21 of 2021. Right now the market is already at 3847, is it able to push down after 31 points? The market has to stop somewhere just like this Wednesday, probably at some levels that they see there were lots of retail buying just so the retail traders are shaken out of their positions. Has nothing to do with earnings, nothing to do with numbers or the economy or whatever. People just want to make some $$.

    Amazing another 4% swing on the NQ. I don't understand who are these traders buying it in the overnight to prop it up? I guess European bourses were higher so maybe that's the reason.

    I still haven't seen a rally of more than 3 days on the NQ in a month or more. Its starting to look like early 2008.

    No they just wanted to push the price up to cash in, the same as a pump & dump in penny stocks.

    bs.
    We gapped up this morning.
    If you didn't cash out thats on you beau.
    That was strictly a call last night.
    What I wrote about us being in a bear market and much lower by August has not changed one iota.
