It could for some because like Art Cashin said ''panic sellers never win'' LOL Wise words; agree.
Planned sellers can win-panic sellers never win. I like Art Cashin, more than CNBC[UBS-NYSE]even though 1987 seems to be on his mind all the time;but i am not a mind reader LOL
You last sentence was a bit broad brushed, Ben , but mostly true..........
I agree. I was just a little annoyed that people who are bearish are hanging on to any little thing that could conceivably bring the market down. The event is a tragedy but in no way affects the broad markets.
I think the market (mainly the Nasdaq) is being irrational with how it just keeps going up and up, but I'm not trying to fight it or calling tops. The only way I'd play the short side is by shorting NQ vs ES at 1:1 or against the Russel2k once it comes to CME. Other than that, longer term shorts on equity indices is a dangerous game imo.
