    What does it take to fuel the belief that the markets are going nowhere?

    You will have to be more specific, as nowhere is not a realistic scenario.

    Try and stick to the question at hand, but by all means add to the topic as you see fit!

    If you must know, I was busy making some money!

    Now, you can post sensible posts, or revert to your usual ways..the choice is yours!

    Any silly or childish posts will just be ignored, as they should be.

    Ok..maybe clarification is required.

    What I meant was this type of news adds to the public view that the markets can go nowhere but up, which of course is a major mistake to make.

    On the beliefs, yes, we can talk about beliefs, and why people tend to have such beliefs.

    I have a feeling that there is going to be a good deal of electrical interference!

    The first truth about trading is steadily appearing.

    You will encounter many "squares", as nicely worded by Mr Lugar, and as quickly demonstrated by Mr Speedo !

    ok, I'll just assume that the public view and beliefs are one and the same, I was just curious what it would take to subtract from the public view just enough to make them believe it is going nowhere as in, up 6 % one year, down 5% next. Just curious what would cause somebody to believe something like that. But if you just want to start after that, carry on, I already heard that part many times. CYA

    Again, you must be more specific.

    You are now talking about a % move, and then a counter move, that negates the first move, and within a certain time period.

    This is not going nowhere!

    Anyway, your points are sorta bringing up the required questions.

    Why do people tend to believe what others say?
