Do not get sucked in, markets rebound from Tuesday
Filed Under Market Commentary |
Today was just a rebound effort which is designed to suck in the inexperienced, irrational trader. Do not be fooled and think you need to trade. The Wall Street machine has a knack of tempting the weak to trade.
Nasdaq ended the day higher up .34%, S&P 500 higher by .56%, Industrials were up .43%. Volume was considerably lower on the NYSE and Nasdaq. This does not come as a suprised coming off a day that has not been seen since ‘01.
I’ve moved completely into cash with an exception: bought QID @ 54.00. I am keeping it small, 5% of my portfolio will be my ending position. 95% cash will be my major position. Due to my trading rulse imposed on my employer I can not short any stock or buy an option or derivative to by pass the rule. But, I can buy QID, MZZ, SHS…so on and so forth.
Fourth year without a 10% correction…its been a nice run while it has lasted. This will just clear the path for new growth stories once the time is right.
Happy Trading

Yeah, Would almost be nice for the market to take a bit of a trashing for a few months and then start it’s inevitable climb.
