I posted that and you misunderstand.
Big money are out of US equities totally.
Some are net short since high 900s.
The buying is purely market "making" activities to mess with traders who cannot hold overnight or longer term positions.
It is easier to understand if you think of the game as no limit poker and one of the party keep pulling up 10x whatever the table pot total is, asking people to call or fold. And somehow the host allows that, at the same time praising the action as a stablizing force to the game. =)
First off , thanks for for replying to my post constructively, I did pick up on the point that the buying would be largely due to taking out the smaller fish holding positions with tight stops or cannot afford to hold a short position as long as they would like.
Your comparisson to a high stakes, no limit poker game is very true, your analagy is clevar.
I have been following this thread for some time now in hopes of being able to hone my perception of the market and one day my predictions may sync with some of the more fluent minds here.
Good trading to all!
