Is this inherent in following the heard?
Is there a bullish bias in the markets.

Perhaps thats why sell offs are so sudden because they are so unexpected.

Depends on market;
in DAL, DALR
& like a RFXCQ polar bear said short it if it has a ''r'' in it
Is there a bullish bias in tek stocks ;
sure, especially in 4th quarter
Also depends on personality,LUV maybe a good long;
but dont have a general bullish bias for it,
reguardless of it being a great company.
im just thinking it is generally more gratifying to buy stocks and watch them go up, than to go short of stocks. i think shorting is way more difficult especially when the public and wall street like when the market rallies.
Yes, there is a bullish bias in the 'stock market', but it's mostly do to survivorship bias. The strong get stronger and the weak eventually go away.
I don't recall the numbers precisely, but I believe only 14 of the 30 present Dow Industrials members were present in the index in 1985 (taking into account mergers, etc.). That's a greater than 50% turnover, in one of the most sacred of indices. It would make an interesting study to see what level the Dow would be at with the 1985 members.
Good luck to all.
