You hit the nail on the head. The Fed has effectively spoiled the market. The market has become the biggest crybaby, or rather an entitlement whore. It believes its's entitled to a rate cut.
If you thought the market was reversing, why didn't you just go short? It would have turned out alright either way. If you were naked, you would have made money. If you had a long position, you would've been hedged. Be a flipper for once. :finger:
Being a dipstick:
Buying the dip on the way down.
Shorting the dip on the way up.

You are so naive. You think this selloff is driven by small time retail traders? It's the big boys like GS who are in the driver's seat.
BTW why be content at 10% bargain? You'll find even bigger discount at 30%.
