Quote from The Trojan:
I haven't come across that, a few other things you said like "sell on the rumour, buy on the news" -
Sell the rumour buy the news....
Or somethime siths other way round, its always easy to knwo which way round it is though.
Like on friday everyone knew opec was meeting on weekend and everyone thought they would cut oil supply.., so everyone rushed out and bought oil at the close as no-one wanted to be the sap who missed out.
And so cos of all that buying the price rose so much.
It wasnt so much a 'rumour' but more an expectation, but basically the same thing.
(I personally was smart however, saw how high dow had risen all week and so i knew it was gna crash monday and take oil with it, so i had no intention of buying oil, instead wnated to sell it, but wanted to wait till monday cos if opec did cut supply i could then let price rise and sell at even better higher price/
And i sold the dow very hard hard right at the top of rally on friday though to be holding over weekend...
)But basically buying rumour selling news means like when the usa government say ''we gna give out 60billion dollars in tomorrow to hoep tat will save teh economy''... that makes dow rocket instantly as everyone gets excited and so buys into teh hope and exectation that economy will be saved.
But tomorrow when the money is given out well thats it, its all done and over, all teh excite ment dies away...,
and is replaced then with questioning and worry form people saying ''will that be ebnough though??'' and ''what if even that doesnt save economy how mch more moeny can they print??''.....
so market then pullsback n crashes as people sell off cos of that concern.
