Which is the Best Way to Trade Stocks Given an Up/Down Move in the Index?

But how did that do in the flash crash?

Sorry no hosting. You have to have a guessed position and be short prior to it or you have to jump on the bandwagon during it. Now let's roll those credits. Mike drop!

Aren't you worried about your stocks getting wet ???

I would put stock into seeing that t-shirt get wet -- is that what you meant?

No no no -- in this case, most definitely, huge is good.

Other than trading the futures themselves, if you sense the S&P/Nasdaq will rise/fall intra-day or overnight what is the best way to trade individual or groups of stocks that will rise/fall with the market?

If you have some macro sense of which one is stronger, you can trade the spread between the S&P and the NAZ. Or if you have some sector awareness, use sector ETFs for the pairs.

Are you one of those touchy feely types whose mantra is "I feel ya!" ???
