    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Well the previous 2 days were interesting, abnormal and large daily ranges, falls mostly, the investors are reeling but daytraders should not be at all bothered. AA+ is a slap in ther face for some of the American policy makers :D GR crashed as most other stocks did too. Under these...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Panic over, do the eyes have it? :cool: Tomorrow should be interesting. Seemed to be a bit of a rally today. I've been looking for a source of real time NYSE Tick index but it doesn't seem to be readily available. Checked Worden TC2000, the paid for alternative version of...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Mass of an object approaches infinity as the speed of light is approached - I don't see what thats got to do with gambling though.:confused: Somewhere in the distant past I recall TE saying something like WRB follow NRB follow WRB etc. In fact I didn't trade CLF, the need to work for a...

    On 22th July all stocks in the attachement had a small daily range compared with their average. I was wondering what might happen afterwards.

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Knowing the likely direction is the problem. The closeness of YUM to the blue line was just coincidence. I was looking for stocks that had a small daily range compared to the average and YUM came up, but it was just a stall before the fall continued. Similarly CLF had a small daily range...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Shaking your rattle again. :D The theme has been made clear, as no one will think for you when trading. There are other threads on ET that Enid Blyton has inspired, which I'm aware of, so I'm at a slight advantage in being familiar with the theme, but not fully understanding all the details...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    First thoughts were about cleaning, and then where am I on the bathtub curve. The BR book helps to visualise a tub, the irritants are the rub. So to gather relevant data, we must catch the eye?

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    I noted the blue text and in the previous post, suggesting concentrate on the blue text in the dictionary. The Shakespeare reference to 'rub' may just be a red herring in response to the 'irritating' DB_sezwhat. So maybe the association with tub is: clean or wipe. The second word maybe...

    Another thing is company announcements, especially earnings dates, but I don't scan for them. Is there anything else?

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    The two things were not specified though. Would one of the things be economic announcements that can disturb the markets, and reacting/being prepared for the market response rather than reacting to the details of the news itself? Something caused the gap down today, but I didn't read the...

    the rub = catch, drawback or something else relevance to tub isn't apparent. Not referring to the puzzle, as far as gathering relevant data is concerned then a criteria needs to be specified as to what constitutes relevant information.

    Unfortunately I didn't trade it, the vertical slope was alarming. Still working on the BE coordination.

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    The original post by NY referred to one obvious, which if I remember correctly, he was willing to confirm if anyone correctly stated it. Later though he talked of another obvious which he stated would not be disclosed. I think that caused some confusion as to which obvious was being discussed...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Yes, in fact I did trade SLB yesterday and price is now hitting a level at 86.5, which it may or may not penetrate, who can tell. Yesterday SLB only moved about half its usual range so maybe there will be a bigger range today. The price had previously bounced off a level at 79.6 and price had...
