"Seems like it's about time for FOMC to say something" It is only worthwhile if it moves markets and a profitable trade results.
There is a large group out there who believe short selling is unamerican and should be banned outright.
Hopefully you're not in that camp. It provides much needed liquidity. Markets need liquidity to survive and be stable.
The Fed: fighting wars, viruses and everything else with money printing, rate cuts/hikes and "statements" since 1913.
Today's moves are 100% Ukraine related. If and when the conflict dissipates, it's predictable what may happen to all the related moves. In fact, there are limits to any moves now because people know this. Day traders like you, not so much I guess.
Typical novice banter… whom only knows how to invest one way because he doesn’t have the acumen to trade both ways or even on a short term TF, which requires skill & dexterity to do so… so rather than capture the existing trend with some intellectual capability… he throws a temper tantrum and insists on the Feds charity & generosity to bail him out yet again and step in because he’s being spanked on existing long positions … Sound familiar? I’ve been hearing the same belly aching temper tantrums for the last 33 yrs from perma bullies like yourself!
Definitely not. Short sellers are useful because their research is generally more in depth than long side research. If not for short sellers stocks would be pumped to the sky and the eventual crash would be much greater as negative news leaks out.
Looking for NDX 100 under 10,000. The FOMC can't do much with food and energy rising. They are in a tough spot.
You're extremely delusional and it's doubtful that you are much of a trader. I've made significant money both months this year.
