institutions with their new monthly liquidity additions were "program buying" their azz's off today-------take a look at the 5 minute nyse tick chart from today------------lots of good scalp long signals from all the pumping. institutions had the extra liquidity today to take additional whacks at the hedges core short positions-----------but the hedges with their heavy long oil were in luck again today----------the oil trading is their life preserver lately. institutions 30 ---- hedges 6 still in the third quarter.
love watching the score... game is great!! by the way do you have the Vegas Line on the game?? wondering if it would be worth it to maybe teast the Hedgies to +13, with the over...
Actually, most of them are sheepish traders who scan for what others think and say for some "collective affirmation," and fanaticize they are part of this vote, when in fact they are not because they were never participating. But the remaining minority scans for new ideas. They have nothing to say, or no need to prop up their identities and egos. They're just scanning for some blabber mouth fool who is articulating the next Great Idea.
There are not enough data points to know that. Modern era is only 100 years old. People confuse time with it. People think that just because it has not happen yet that it won't.
It's much more fun to make money short. Market generally moves down faster than it goes up, so perhaps one's risk is lower since one is in the market for less time. But, as somebody pointed out before, the markets (so far) trend up over time so there is a balancing factor. Which anybody who is familiar with the markets already expected.
EqtTrdr---------- i have already bet with the hedgies and the over, you know the late 4th quarter comeback thing--------gotta love the dog in this contest!
