I will say this though, the days of hard stock market crashes are likely gone, Central Banks dip into indexes off the books and it's quite obvious in 2019... At this point, ANY market crash is desired by Central Banks and nothing else, could the markets drop rapidly and sell off happens, of course... But they can pump them up in no time, HFT will front run and they will explode up again... Great thing about the market, it has nothing to do with the economy, the economy was used as an excuse to justify movements, now they don't even care anymore, ahah
It does appear that way. Im in the camp that corporate earnings will be disappointing. Unless they manipulate the accounting. Whats to say they can't. Markets are pricing in perfection, so lets see.
"Analyst " lower earnings estimates two times to really low estimates, earnings come in as garbage but beat estimates is headline, and firms invested in Shares and Options buy at close, voila! I seen Costco have a really good Q3 2018 Earnings, and shares got mass sold at close... It didn't matter what they reported, sell-off was happening CB's are doing that with Main Indexes of countries in 2019, data and reality doesn't matter, it's buy... We will find out the master plan behind it soon enough tho
Piece of cake Gordon, everyday is an up day in the land of perfect, where everyone is a stock market millionaire...
Word of advice, your instincts are terrible and all these theories are complete bs. Maybe just trade on a technical level or follow momentum because you obviously have no idea why markets move.
