Nikkei getting killed. Dow futures blood red. BTD on Friday!

Quote from brokerboy:

bond trad3r you going to be rippin and tearin this weekend still? i am joking around of course because the market can go up or down next week and we both know that. i am a short but i am no fool and i know i can be wrong. you got to laugh at how the markets tease us everyday though. also i am a little scared of bubble ben saying he wants to buy 170 billion a month now on tuesday.

I fucked up. After the Nikkei crash, I thought us indicies would rebound.
 
Quote from bonds:

Dow futures are only down 55 points right now... thats not exactly what i call blood red.

It seems too easy to go short the dow futures or es futures which are only down 6 right now based on the bloodbath that is going on in Asia right now... im sure traders are piling in short the US market right now thinking the market will gap down huge tomorrow... any takers in here?

When it seems too easy and obvious... it usually isnt... but we will see tomorrow.
you r fucking right
 
Quote from brokerboy:

i have my short and that's it. i would think we will close a little lower than 20 up in s&p today. i think the computer trading systems make it a hard market. i feel they hold the US market up slowly to get more buyers in. i don't know if we go higher or lower its just my opinion. the world markets and the US markets are not even connected anymore on a day to day outlook.
highly and acurately manipulated market
 
what's the point of investing in this manipulated market£¿That explains the low volume. Computers dont need much volume to move the price to whatever direction they want it to go. This is the fact now.

It was major short bait. Anybody who did it got destroyed. Anybody who bought it knowing Hilsenrath would untaper the market made out with best one day gain of the year.

This makes no sense. If you think the market is being manipulated up, why not go long and enjoy the ride?
 
Is it my imagination, or are the successful traders the ones who simply trade what is there?

You guys are so concerned about what should be/could be/ought to be. This has to be a recipe for disasterous trading results.
