Quote from stock_trad3r:
The market can easily surge 5-10% in a single day even on bad news, or for no reason at all. I expect a rally on Friday on unemploymwent data.
Just hang tight. Don't sell now. Even with Obama as prez things arent that bad.
Quote from HKIB:
DOW, Nasdaq, and SP500 are all in down trend again. I expect the same will be true for HandSeng Index and Nikke 225 Index after the Friday's close.
Quote from netedge:
It's true the last 2 days were relatively violent down days. Shows there is still panic and caution in the markets.
Nonetheless we held at support from 10/15 and 10/16. Also, if today holds up through the finish we will have staved off the consecutive down days to 2 after 5 consecutive up days.
Meanwhile, here is the daily economic news we are advancing on today:
Obama will make economic mark before inauguration
U.S. stock futures off session highs after jobs report
Las Vegas Sands crumbles on bankruptcy fears
Unemployment rate leaps to 14-year high of 6.5%
U.S. stocks advance after two days of heavy losses
Not exactly the most rosey info we've ever seen in the markets. Yet the S&P is up 22 today at this moment on this horrible job loss news. There will come a time that the markets will no longer panic at the impending bad news such as what is happening today. Now will we continue to hold above S&P 900? That is the question for the moment.
Do you mean like this ...Quote from netedge:
I have done some work on the past ... I would be interested ... how we can begin to get comfortable when the bottom has been put in place....

Quote from stock_trad3r:
yup another huge rally. I am right again because I know how the stock market and the economy works. Dow 14K next year. Recovery will be 'v' shaped.
I told ya losers to cover two weeks ago when the dow was at 8400. Now it's much higher and the upside is unlimited.
I am almost never wrong. When I say the economy has not changed between June 2007 and now, I'm right. Time 2 buy GOOG and EWZ. Time 2 buy MA and V. Buy MOS and POT. Buy and hold 4 the next 15 months. I know almost everything.
We're climbing the wall of worry
Do as I say and make $$$$$$$

Quote by Matthew McCall that sums up my view of this past week:
"The fact the market rallied on very poor economic numbers coupled with a strong last hour of trading is one reason to smile this weekend. The 4% loss over the week is no reason to frown, but we should be ready to act. Keep in mind that last week was the best the markets had experienced in 34 years with the S&P 500 rallying 14%. Giving back 4% the following week is not all that bad in my mind as long as we hold the lows of Thursday. market/[/url]
