We're in a global buying frenzy on an epic scale that began two weeks ago on December 24th. it's nuts. Overseas markets surging 2-6% day..day after day after day. Between October 10th and November 21 tons of short sellers entered the market anticipating more downside. Now they are being forced to cover at any price.
You can see the giddiness of investors. The market never changes. It goes between extremes of pessimism and optimism, but never in a straight line. I do believe the overall equities have put in a solid bottom, but I think that the market is severely overbought and is going to tank pretty hard within a matter of days.
I'm tempted to put this in chit chat. Perhaps a discussion will ensue that is not about how dumb the OP is.
There are no threads here to discuss overseas markets. I would like to see this thread stay on topic.
I think Japan is up a lot because of this news. http://www.marketwatch.com/news/sto...x?guid={EA5F218B-5E52-425D-B481-00A071840316}
Agree Ricerocket. I think we have put in, at least, some sort of short term bottom that can probably be traded profitably from the long side, however at these prices we are (short term) overbought and due for a correction. It will be interesting to see how the market handles it, how sharp is it, how much volume etc. I think that will give us a lot of insight into how strong we may or may not be going forward.
