Quote from Jackie Treehorn:
Nobody's a drama Queen, But statements like it takes courage to buy a tape is kind of comical...
YTD 5-6% up = 2 months... 5-6% down = 2 weeks...
Its simple math, things go down a lot faster than they go up, so take a shot at certain levels, if it moves against you take a small loss, then ride it up....
Buying all the time is not the answer though..
Well, I haven't read the whole thread but not sure what the courage comment is. This market has really been a pretty normal tape. Nothing out of the ordinary. I think most guys here have some sort of a strategy, so buying all the time or shorting all the time is not really a strategy. I say the odds are we grind higher. The action is really more in the individual stock names and the commodities. If all you are trading is the spoos, I hope you have some good reading material. LOL.
