What a monster rebound! WOW never expencted such a large rally. 320 points on the dow.

You're an idiot.

A rebound always happens, and this one was expected, why else "buy the dips" right?

Todays volume on the YM was still very below average compared to the last days. In fact this up-day was just like all other up-days since 10/10, they all had less then average volume. If you balance the volume for the last week or so, you'll see that today's rebound is only regaining a fraction of the path down, meaning that a lot of parties are not involved yet. It certainly isn't as good as it looks, but I guess you're not interested in reality. Too bad, you could actually learn something from your papertrading.

Quote from amedhussaini:

Nothing annoys "real" traders more than the inability to show humility. Real traders respect reasonable analysis from analytical minds, perhaps in conjunction with a few charts, as well as the ability to remain humble (even after you've managed to flip the coin successfully a few times.)

You, Stock_Inv3stor, went "long" (whether on paper or with real money) the popular "momentum stocks" awhile back. In a bull market, 75% of all stock picks will perform favorably. You picked stocks that have major "beta" minus 1 remainder: meaning they move even more in relation to the general market. If the market goes up 1%, your momentum stocks will go up more than 1%.

You, Stock_Inv3st0r, buy and hold. You bought awhile ago. You'll hold forever. If the market really begins to turn sour soon, you'll hold on. You'll hold on forever. You'll hold until the market will make new highs, even if it happens to lose 10%, 20%, or 50% of its value before it gets to 15k, 16k, or 20k. You, Stock_Inv3st0r, are a buy and hold investor. Buy and hold. Investor.

Real traders have no market bias. We may have long-term long positions, such as BIDU, RIMM, AAPL, GOOG, just like you, but when the market turns sour, we'll buy the QIDs, we'll short the QQQQs, we'll short the DIAs, the SPYs, we'll long the bear ETFS.. all the while holding our longterm momentum stocks just like yourself.

See? We make the same return buy and hold investors make (you're a "buy and hold" investor, if I haven't made it clear enough), but we'll hedge if we want to keep our return, and cover when the turmoil is done. This is how a real trader thinks. This is what you should aspire to become. You will eventually reach this level, but for now, since you are a beginner.. just pick the momentum stocks and pretend "you know the market will continue to be bullish". This suits you.

well put

Expect your hifliers to be up next day or two, but they will turn down hard again and then base. Ur stocks are broken short term, it will take a few months to consolidate. Ur goog/bidu/aapl may not see their previous November highs for months or years..

And it will only continue. No way this rally is gonna end anytime soon. A 5 year bull market that will last for decades.

Dow 15000 by end of year and dow 18,000 by the end of 2008.

RIMM GOOG BIDU AAPL MA FXI EWZ GS VMW
all up huge and will lead the stock market in the 21st century.

DRYS ISRG DECK EXM CMG PTR

The leaders continue to lead the market.

NO breakdown.

Money HASN'T rotated out of tech.

Big cap Tech, industrials, and comodities will continue to lead the market higher.

Small cap is crap. Avoid all small crap cap stocks. large cap stocks take advantage of massive global growth and cheap dollar.

If anyone doubts that the kid is a plant, this post should clear things up. It all became clear to me just now : )

So many haters, so much upside

The goal of the stock market is to make money. Seems a lot of people here fall short of that goal.

Tons of people were short last week. What happeend? huge rebound. The 'dead cat bouncers' were forced to cover. Same for the 'rally on low volume' bears.
