Investor : The Sky is Falling (negative mindset) ---> Trader : The market is moving (positive mindset) simply stop investing, and start trading.
If you have been paying attention how the SPX has been moving daily you'll realize no serious crash will ever come since its being controlled. We are just players in their game...
The market is moving incredibly normal and nothing out of the ordinary as far as a price action and TA is concerned. If it's being manipulated or not, it's irrelevant to traders. If it's being manipulated now, then it likely has been forever now anyways, so don't necessarily understand that point. Anyways it's not exceedingly difficult. Maybe to trade it, keep discipline and find an edge. OK, yes that can be very difficult. But if you pull up a smaller chart and look at what happens when the chart breaks down, you'll see very similar patterns playing out now on the Daily chart. It's just most of the time markets are bullish, so when Daily chart actually goes into a legit sell people come up with all kinds of theories, news, excuses and etc.
The banks force the central bank to keep rates low. That's what's happening. It's not like 2% interest hikes would stop an official inflation of 5-7%. We will see QE to infinity and beyond soon, that's what they want.
And what are ES / NQ / YM derivatives of SPX / NDX / DOW - which are said survivorship basis equities indices. Case closed. BTW did you not know this?
I only care about the end result as far as trading. Know what? my point was ES / NQ /YM are naturally bullish bias, that's all I meant. No, I didn't know they were called survivorship basis and have no problem admitting that. Not claiming you are, but I am certainly not here to look smart, debate semantics or claim to be super intelligent. Just exchanging information on this board.
%% ALSO/ the SPY benchmark has some skilled stockpickers\maybe more so than our friends @ WSJ on DOW\DIA.....................LOL. DOW[ +more so than shy SDOW] has some good PR contacts in news business /LOL
Drama queens. They are outing themselves for being retarded and having poor risk management. Good post.
