Quote from eagle488:
I wouldnt jump in right now, like at this very moment. I have been punished a few times when I did that. On huge drops, I have learned to wait until the volume dies down to the average daily volume. When the volume hits the average daily volume, then we have some assurance that the sellers have left the building.
This process usually takes a few days, sometimes a week or more. Sometimes it works, but other times it may not and you get in on the higher price. I find that if I wait, its a safer trade all the way around.
I also like to see what the analysts have to say. The analysts are not dumb and probably more knowledgable on the situation then most regular people. They have a reputation that they will lose if their opinion proves wrong so their jobs are on the line. If all of the analysts still seem bullish, then this is clearly a positive sign. If the analysts now declare the stock is a sell, then you should NOT enter into the trade and move on to the next stock that takes a dump.
I guess this is my safe strategy of entering into the stocks that have been asked to leave the Bulls Hotel.
