NQ puked 200 points on the result. Maybe that will be the guide for Europe and Asia, to just engage in broad-based algo selling because a single tech company that is losing relevance and increased competition lowered their guidance.
Well yesterday there we're talks and post regarding how market had good probability of higher prior to the good earnings come out and us rallying... Today ES Daily hit major resistance and the target that was posted yesterday prior to earnings and we had bad earnings. So, not claiming that the earnings didn't effect price, but certainly shows larger players are positioning themselves prior to the news coming out.
Not broad based. Mainly the high flyer techs. Internet and software in particular. Look at some of the normal company stocks. There are so many of them that are still far below pandemic level. They are not well known, not blue chip or memo stocks. Those are the second tier companies that no day traders want. They are good companies that still generate positive cash flows. Sure we should dump $BB capital into those companies. The dumb traders will chase them again next time when some wall street idiots calling for buying dips. They set the traps for the day traders to enter.
The earning game is so old. Pros already made the $$$ and ran away from the earnings news. Only some dumb traders hold the positions and get whacked with 22% loss.
Yeah, well there's still a lot of people that search for news story on every move in the markets in order to absolve themselves of the responsibility of trading it properly or taking a loss.
Do you read the news of retail traders betting huge on options? Those traders trade stocks and options like playing lottery. Sure we can lose like $100 with lottery and $2,000 at Las Vegas casinos. But how much we want to lose at trading stocks? What are the odd of winning with options?
She may be just long 3 FB stocks.... A lot traders trade small volumes. Trading is free game to play.
No, I literally don't read any news related to markets, other than what I see from others posting that are hyper focused on it.
That is a good article to trade. It is tempting to enter the options market. But I do not want to go back to the Black Scholes model any longer. https://www.ft.com/content/b3db7eca-8bee-4178-91cb-f6e20da9e242 US options trading heats up even as speculative stock rally cools Industry participants see ‘no sign’ US equities wobble has caused exodus from derivatives bets Investors are turning to derivatives to make supercharged bets on the US equities market, highlighting how the pandemic has left a lasting mark on Wall Street even as the rally in speculative shares fizzles. Trading volumes in options, tools that let investors bet on price movements of shares without holding them, have jumped this year, in an acceleration of a trend that began in the early days of the pandemic.
