Again, I could easily make a bunch of winning trades if I (a) set my stops to zero almost immediately when in profit (b) took small profits regardless (c) took much larger (unlimited?) losses. There are plenty of 90-99% win rate systems/styles that lose money in the end.

Maybe the SEC/CDC will make a joint statement this afternoon, officially declaring the S&P 500 as an Ebola victim.

And?

It doesn't matter. 1) None of his indicators have lived up to their claims in long-term backtesting 2) Demark has no track record of managing his own or clients' money successfully. Instead, he's a "consultant" who sells books/indicators. I don't care if some successful money managers like...

Well, it went back to 187.90. Our hero probably set his stop to break even and made a few pennies again. Of course, anyone can play this game. You feel good making pocket money until the one trade never comes back your way (or doesn't until 5 years later).

I think noddyboy is the only member of the "Noddyboy Fan Club and One-Way Stock Signal Service"

And?

True, but even a trip down to the 1500 area would scare most investors (and the Fed/gov't) to death.

If that's not a contrarian indicator, I don't know what is.

I don't expect the SPY to go to zero so we agree in the long, long run. However, there's no way of knowing if it drops another 3% or 50% at this point.

Which dip? Yesterday? A week ago? Two weeks ago? How did those dips in April 2000 or November 2007 work out?

When did this thread become your personal journal of selective, cherry-picked trades?

I guess you got some real bargains back in 2008 with that strategy.

1) Build a time machine (maybe you can figure it out by watching the Back to the Future movies) 2) Buy all dips in the 1990s, from 2003 to 2007 and from 2012 to last month

Jerry Parker (whom you "retweeted" here) is a classic trend-follower and original Turtle Trader. By my definition, he uses TA, and it's not esoteric, "unavailable" stuff. Parker believes TA is useless for finding tops/bottoms, prediciting a future change of direction, etc. However, he uses it...

This correction is different from other recent ones, though. Small-caps are getting crushed. The Russell 2000 is far below its 200-day MA. This has not been common in other post-QE pullbacks.

Only in the world of fuzzy math and funny money.

You were saying???

In other words, I can't deal with this, so I'll spew out a bunch of meaningless verbal diarrhea in a drive-by post instead.

1) You still didn't engage with any issues. Yes, you again tried to tap-dance and sliver around the issues. Anyone with a functioning brain knows that whenever an alleged white-on-black incident happens, the MSM is all over it--Trayvon, Ferguson, Duke lacrosse, pretty much every event/hoax that...
