great response dodger! Technical analysis works and that
triangle did give 25 SPX points to the downside so one could have
tightened up stops if short. Or if you shorted at higher
levels, you could stay short, it's your choice.
All day long I posted the bull wedge developing on the SPX with
the multiple points of positive divergence developing, that was
something to take note of. Then of course the market rallies
hard on speculation.
The PPT is about and the way the market is trading, it's all
traders and it feels manipulated as well. That's why it's
still a good idea to take profits in this market, it's a traders
market and is manipulated anyway.
Now regarding the comment about the big picture, yes we are in a
horrible bear market. I dont' care if the SPX rallies 250
points, it will still be in a bear market!
I took profits just as the news broke but my decision was based
on matt and steves comments on relentlessly taking profits in this
screwed up market. also checking the blogs regularly and the
dynamic links are key. that wedge matt put up w/pos divergence
really convinced me to be on the lookout. thanks matt. for me and
my clients!!!!
