Today will be another slow day I think. All waiting for the Fed.

Anyone knows when the decision will be made?

It may not be so good to own too many stocks. When you have too many stocks, it is sometimes harder to focus. For instance you sell off your shares thinking a crash is going to happen, but the stocks can suddenly surge without alerting you. When you have just a few stocks, it is still possible to keep a close eye on them before they surge up too much. When you have too many stocks, it can be hard to monitor

What bear???

The Dow's big fall last Friday 19 Oct was due to Yankeekiasu's supertition about the '10 year repeat performance'. But that's already pass, hasn't it? We're into Nov.

Global liquidity is going to drive the market higher. That crash the bears have been waiting for might not happen so soon. However just need to be alert.

 

If you are one of those who only buy when there is a crash, then it would mean that when the next crash happen, you are likely to buy stock prices at a higher price

But more importantly one is buying a company stock and not a stock called "Market sentiment" although bearing in mind bad market sentiment brings all stocks down.

Those who had held their shares since one year ago until now don't need to worry even if there is a crash

If one had vested one year ago and just held your shares until now, you would be way in profit despite the market crash in March and July this year. But you had been able to sell your shares during crash and bought back your shares, you would have made even more.

As of today dow point and figure chart points to 14150-expecting another rate cut.

America is doing the exact opposite  of what IMF did to asia in 1997 asian crisis -read SHOCK DOCTRINE by NAOMI KLEIN-ruthlessness of capitalism as expounded by Milton Friedman,

The use of modern torture leaves no physical marks but a human wreck using sensory deprivation, your phobias , sensory excess and modern psychiatic drugs eg insulin coma therapy, psychotropic drugs like LSD and ECT(electro convulsive therapy) to regress you into an infantile state-you can convert the most devout muslim or christian into another religion and  you will sign any confession as you have complete amnesia and you are also compltely dis- orientated.

The gyrations of the stock market these days can you mistake up for down and down for up as it completely irrational .A schizophrenic should do well in such a situation/
