With 200 point days becoming a normal occurance, day traders and hedge funds are doing well, but the investor is getting taken for a ride.

Actually, this high degree of investor uncertainty can be interpreted as good news for investors.

Smaller investors typically sell low and buy high; nor are many of them properly diversified.

There are hundreds of stocks now paying higher yields than Treasury securities of any maturity. Plus a number of those companies raise their dividends regularly. Bonds do not do that.

Take heart. All will be well.

Buy the dips. Sell the rallies. 8 out of 9 days up look for profit taking soon. Good luck.

“With 200 point days becoming a normal occurrence”

I was saying this a few weeks ago. 200 up or down is the new 40. Barely makes a headline anymore. Even a 300 point change is hardly noticed.

Yes we are!

"Investors"? Really??? They think there are investors in these markets. Breaking News: There Are No Investors In The Markets, only traders [professional & amateur]. And, the amateurs are getting crushed. I'm a technical trader [amateur]. And I'm making all the same mistakes my fellow traders are right now. Many of us refuse to be long the market even in the face of rally after rally after rally. Even when the technical indicator are all pointing down [as they are currently] we refuse to give up rally after rally after rally.

I can't speak for all amateur traders [though I know more than a few on other forums agree]... You'll know when the end is here for the markets when we all throw in the towel as the "Investors" did months ago.
