The talking heads always try to link the current headline news to the big market moves. The market advanced during WW1&2 and the Korean war - it was flat during the Vietnam war.

What matters is not so much the news headlines - but how the market reacts.

 

I'd go 1 step further, going along with the stuff I have always been saying...

it's not even how the market reacts, but how it PROACTS.

the virus was the same on 1/24 and 1/27... and I have already posted about this, it's how them pro boys ignore the news to dump inventory, or use the news to press down and collect inventory.

 

Over simplification. You reminded me of Richard Ney.

 

that's what a master does... if you are really really good at something you can explain a very complex issue on a piece of napkin, that's true mastery.
