I might just do that Steve, at least until next year. This crazy twilight zone trading has killed me… both mentally and financially. I do see next year as being much better trends, and the first one will be down.
Red, my answer is to pretty much stop trading…just been rolling options to later months when prices are attractive….like that nuclear holocaust movie…the only way to win is not to play….sad isn't it?
I wish it was that way MS. But unfortunately it isn't. I'm sure heard on the news earlier this year about Goldman Sachs getting their computer trading program stolen. It was used to buy and sell the market based on what everyone else was doing.
They had their phone lines tapped into the trading floors computers and were able to see the new orders coming in before they were executed. They would then take a position before those orders, and benefit from them as the market then moved in that direction.
It worked in milliseconds, but it was basically like seeing the hands of all the card players sitting at the table before they made their bets. You could adjust your bet accordingly. Crooked and illegal of course.
But, they have many former employee's in the government to protect them… including Tim Giethner, and Ben Bernanke.
Goldman has been receiving money from the government on a weekly basis, every since the March lows. Goldman is the “PPT” (Plunge Protection Team)!
Ronald Regan created the PPT after the 1987 crash. It was supposed too be used to prop up the market in case of another crash. It has since been used to “Control” the market direction.
Now, it wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't got a huge raise in March. In the past, the amount of money given to the PPT was truly small, in comparison to today. Mole, over at EvilSpeculator.com actually charted the amount going into Goldman (the PPT).
The last I read it was 3-5 Billion each week. I read somewhere that Obama printed more money in first 90 days then our country has had in existence since it began in 1776.
Where did all that money go? Into the stock market, and into the pockets of a lot of crooked people. Huge Bonuses didn't come from actually making a profit, but by buying up your own stock, making it look profitable.
It's always been rigged MS, but now they an unlimited supply of money to back their evil plans. You could play the game before March as they didn't have the funds to prop up a huge volume day (and they really still don't), but light volume days are totally in their control.
Don't expect any technical's to work on light volume days, as buy programs almost always come in at the end of the day to prop up the market, preventing it from any natural correction.
When you constantly prevent something from naturally correcting, it will eventually crash huge! That's what they are doing, and it's not what the originally PPT was designed to do. They were suppose too be used “Only” for an emergency, not daily manipulation.
Anyway… it's real my friend, but all we can do is to try to figure out the next move, and be there to profit from it. Next year should give us the large volume we need, so this market will soon find it's “real” direction.
Thank you for your post, good luck.
