I am not talking about the recommendations. I know that most recommendations are biased toward buying. What I'm really talking about is the forecasts that analysts give, the the expected EPS for the next fiscal year. They usually update it every month. Most stocks perform based on future...

so essentially, analysts do the work and we could benefit from it

I don't think it's that late. When a company does report earnings and analysts got their estimates wrong, they are usually revised with 2-3 days. You can check for yourself on reuters after an earnings release.

For the most part, the analyst estimates are pretty good in determining what the stock is likely to report in earnings. Also, it shows how the institutional side is feeling about a stock, depending on the revisions they make to their estimates. What I'm wondering is why would analysts, who...

ok supposedly, BDI is a good indicator of future economic growth because if there's growth, then more demand for dry bulk shipping, BDI goes up BUT, does anyone really believe that the global economy stops now and would cause BDI to drop this much and cause drybulk shippers to drop 15%...

I use RSI and MACD

What do you guys use to find stocks to daytrade? Ones with lots of volatility perhaps. I use the high/low ticker to find stocks pushing new lows/highs. also, how much of your account do u allocate to a trade?

if inflation does get out of the hand, the fed still has the option to raise rates in the future. why couldnt the cut have been just a temporary easing to help the credit problem?

with the shitty durable goods, consumer confidence, and home sales reports that came out this week, don't you reckon that bernanke knew what he was doing when he cut the rate by 50 basis points?

how do bonds play into this? and the implications for the stock market?

the relationships between interest rates, the dollar, inflation, and the debt? I understand that cutting interest rates would lower the value of the dollar and increase inflation, but what would that mean for debt?

i thought inflation was caused from growing global demand of commodities. and if that's the case, what can the fed really do about inflation??? a weakening dollar and higher inflation, arent those the tradeoffs from globalization?

do you guys fail to realize the guys running the fed are smarter than all of you?
