Trade in the here and now -- and basically ignore everything else...because everything else is just noise and content and filler and talk.

When I first started trading I thought I had to read everything -- now, I basically don't read (financial) news sites. Most of that stuff is just long term/investor theoretical charts and graphs and a whole bunch of yadda yadda yadda.

Trading is a different art/craft/skill set. slay that DOW dragon daily chart

I still wonder if it a wise strategy to listen to those "old advices", like "sell in may and go away". If you look at the records they are often verified, but who knows for tomorrow ?

PKW rises in January as much as it falls. Garbage analysis.

Instead, focus on how buybacks are being executed to buoy share prices for C Level compensation, despite companies sinking into the toilet.
