Bull are pushing Big White candle up...

Quote from makloda:

There is just no chance whatsoever that the market does something that you can't rationalize is there? For your sake you should pray the market hands you a big painful lesson as soon as possible that humbles you rather than encouraging more hubris.

Those days are gone when you puts on SPY and short the stocks and head for the hills tick by tick.

I proved there was no recession yet, and now the market is pushing big white candles up your asses..

Feds have rigged the Casino to the upside. Got it?

PS: SPY gapped up today! LOL! What happened to your puts?

Can you explain to me how your post refers to mine? Did you read my post at all? It's like you don't read anything just blindly tell random people your opinion, totally out of context.

I read it.

How much money are you losing still being a perma bear? Do you know if SPY clears 1386- 1400 area than the markets will keep sailing higher and higher ? Feds are making sure we do.

So, as a TRADER do you have any interest in a rally that now targets the 1432.90 - 1435.00 area on the SPX?

Or do you simply continue to post on ET about how the government has "fixed" the marketplace and/or that people are delusional?

I think profits can be made going long in a bear market but I believe it's easier and more profitable to trade with the trend. I made some money today with the consolidation of gold but long term I'm still bullish.

And what kind of a BEAR MARKET have the energy and oil service stocks been in? How about basic materials? Fertilizer companies? Mining equipment? Or how about the nation's defense stocks?

Plenty of uptrends for a TRADER to find.

Successful traders don't "pigeon-hole" themselves into being one-directional with their trading. They pride themselves in being tremendously flexible . . . going long OR short in any kind of market "environment" or economic backdrop!

But for some reason, there are an awful lot of people on these threads that fail to understand that it is a "market of STOCKS" and not a "stock-MARKET". Instead, all they do is rationalize their way into the bias that they continually seek, rather than open their eyes to what the market "place" is telling them.

Attached is a pretty good technical "snapshot" as to why TRADERS do not get biased or obsessed with the news media headlines of the day . . . It shows how many New Lows were being made back in mid-March compared to the SPY, and compared to the previous low in January. It is one of the more valuable charts that I have ever seen anyone post on ET. If you had been focusing on this, instead of all of the "Gloom & Doom" you would have been preparing yourself for the likelihood of a rally . . .

Isn't that all that matters?

Why attack me personally when you can't win an intellectual debate?

No, what matters to a trader is maximizing their profits while utilizing all their options.

Your posts are worthless drivel. What trader actually cares if we're in a recession or not? Traders trade! I've never known a trader yet that was successful when he/she insisted on being right about their position or opinion versus what the markets were saying. Clearly you're not a trader with your continued ranting towards shorts. Any decent trader trades both long and short just as any decent football coach both passes and runs the ball. Ask yourself if a team is maximizing their chances for scoring if they only run (or pass) the ball. To exclude 50% of your options is flat out foolish, whether it bee football or trading. You may one day understand how using all your options allows you to maximize your profits.

Since you disagree with HFT2 you obviously must be a bear

for some reason he never seems to read that good traders trade both sides, and regardless of whether you mention that to him or not, he doesnt see it. He always just assumes that a disagreement with him means you are short and therefore his enemy.
