    dividends are record low if you know
    1.7% for S&P

    and Nasdaq don't pay dividends at all.
    And if you're a small long term investor you don't really care how big are profits if you can't get dividend

    not a single serious investor will invest into S&P for dividends

    this is why this rally is so stupid
    OK Fed will have another unsustainable bubble. And what next?

    Another crash, probably in May when everyone sells and goes away.

    Today's action (repeated low vol thrusts down followed by rallies fully recovering) would have me buying through EOD based on the last two day's behavior. I would hold long unless the first 20 minutes or so of 2/17 show some selling pressure.

    Based on the last few days, running up 6 points would not be that much of a shock.

    There are contexts out there to read. I have no idea about any news; price action alone had me interested in overnight longs.

    Markets going to smack you around plenty mother fucker.
    Site has gone to hell with simpletons like you posting. Hell any country that would elect a dumbass like George W. Bush as their leader ( and seriously consider Sarah Palin ) has to have literally millions of dumb fuckers like you.

    Nine_Ender, you're an arrogant prick and I've seen enough of your posts. Consider this a smack in the back of your pissant head.

  8. What i have observed is:

    If a big guy sell his holding in first 20 mins, then price will fall. But one big guy is a noise. Collectively understanding the price action has helped me to make sense.

    Earlier i was focusing too much on an individual noise.

  9. Hmmmm. Two narrow range days? In a strong uptrend? Followed by a breakout? I don't get it.

  10. What do you mean?

    Intel pays 3.74%
    Microsfot 2.6%
    Applied Material 1.74%
    Cisco 1.7%

    Just to name a few. Average Nasdaq 100 yield is low but this is normal.
