Tom Lee predicted a big swing higher starting yesterday after
what he thought would be a dovish shift in the Feds message. I
can't figure out if the guy is really that dumb or if he's just
doing his job and playing the permabull because people are
attracted to positivity and that leads to clients staying invested
and new clients... And of course fees that follow clients.
There's no excuse for being surprised with the feds hawkish message
yesterday. It was very obvious that it had to be
done.
I've discussed before, there's several options one could
consider and can be influenced by your risk tolerance, trading
style, and charts/triggers you are looking at
1. one option is to just stop out at the STS price and that's
it. That stats are generally a bit better that way
2. another option is to stop out at the STS price, and if
price ends up rallying back off the lows that day and closes back
above the STS add the position back
3. another option some people like to do is wait for the
close - that avoids some whipsaws but it also doesn't protect you
on days when the STS might have gotten you out in the morning when
SPX is only down 10 points but ends up being one of those days when
the market crashes and SPX ends up down 140 points -waiting for the
close on those situations you give a lot back vs just exiting at
the STS
Matt, what if the market
