There are plenty of good threads on this site, and in trading forum itself. We had a good discussion of potential for a rate cut on monday. Postings will go up when volatility gets like this. People go through a range of emotions when they make and lose money. Posting is a good way of venting or celebrating, especially when alot of guys do this from home and have only their dog to high-five. Go somewhere else if you don't like the flavor here.
Trading is psychology 101. When you are doomed and gloomed there is no way you will make money. The mood has swung so low that even a 3/4-point rate cut by Feds has not changed a thing. You realize that Feds have not made a hefty present to the markets since 1984? The markets around the world were rejoicing and while we got here another batch of concentrated sell offs. Pretty soon there will be nothing to sell. The stocks cannot go to zero. The bear market is being brought down upon us by doom and gloom and not by outside events in the world. Isn't this what the crux of the matter is on hand in my post? The quality has not dropped on ET but has been enhanced by some hard-hitting posters
Just because some traders believe a recession is at hand does not make them full of depression or gloom, poo-poo face. Many traders make good money shorting the market. This money makes them happy. Some are pleased to see shorting opportunities after one directional markets for so long. Most traders - who are actually trading - spend their time trading regardless of the direction of the market. Your attempt to link their mental state of mind to their trading style is yet another reason why you are one of the asshats on this forum.
Only an incredibly ignorant person would make the correlation ( as you have ) that a slowing economic environment would undermine the ability to make money as a TRADER. You obviously don't TRADE for a living. Otherwise you wouldn't have even made such a ridiculously absurd statement like that. And you consider yourself a "hard-hitting" poster? Thanks for the good laugh!
I am sure thatâs what bears want to do. Screech the machinery to halt, take the stocks to zero and than look for buyers so they can nab some more meat? Itâs a scavenging opportunity among a bunch of doom and gloom room full of mental patients?
Your logic is so incredibly twisted that it's hard to even take your posts seriously. People that actually TRADE for a living and do so successfully don't care about market direction . . . They simply go with it. Your militant ( holier than thou ) "tone" is comical.
Enough to kick your asses out.. slowing economy, recession, depression, doom and gloom, end of the world, sky is falling, lots of sighs and a market that dives when the Feds handed down a hefty present of 3/4 point to you?
