Everyone & their mother is expecting a guaranteed easy money stock market rally this week. AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN. The market doesn't work that way. When everyone is leaning in one direction (trade) , the market goes the OTHER way, inflicting maximum pain to the masses (sheep)... What you are seeing today is the start of it.... Those sitting long now will start sweating & puking their positions as 12/30 approaches.
One chance out of two you will be right at the end of the week... and one out of two you will be wrong....
isnt everyone expecting the 'santa clause rally' not to happen? and thanks for reporting this on dec 27. lol.
Got the idea from someone I respected to play the year end mark up, bought a bunch of SPY last week. Read Jesse Livermore's biography over the weekend... He said tips come in all sizes and shapes. Saw the options volatility was very low. Sold half pre-market and half when the juice seems missing. Missed the hair-cut by a hair. There was Santa but he doesn't stay overnight.
