Dow dives nearly 300 points, S&P 500 dips into correction levels in another wild day on Wall Street
ReplyDeleteStocks fell sharply on Friday as investors slogged through another volatile session on Wall Street.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 296.24 points lower at 24,688.31 after dropping 539 points at its lows of the day. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.1 percent to 7,167.21. At its lows, the tech-heavy Nasdaq had fallen more than 3 percent.
The S&P 500 fell 1.7 percent to 2,658.69 and briefly entered into correction territory, trading more than 10 percent below its record high reached in September. The average stock market correction, since WWII, results in a 13 percent drop and lasts for four months if it does not turn into a full-fledged bear market.
Next year he lost. This year he is going to win big in this type of market. Fighting with both arms in either direction

DeleteCW,
DeleteI thought you cursing me...
Finish this year first, then worry about next year.
Traders stay in the present; investors live in the future ;)
I can trade BOTH directions, but I suffer from a directional bias. That's why lost money last year :(
I not so pro as to go long and short in the SAME trade - go long, take profit, and go short for the ride down and vice versa.
At the moment, I am more comfortable taking profits, wait for the price to retrace, then go in for wash, rinse, and repeat trade again.
But working on this mental limitation of mine.
And yes, Feb and Oct has been kind to me ;)
temperament,
ReplyDeleteAgain its what other people has said...
I guess its too late to teach an old dog new tricks.
During my corporate days in leadership workshop facilitating, I always "force" the potentials to use "I" instead of hiding behind "they", "we", them"...
If we can't take responsibility for what we think, say, or feel, can forget about being a "shepherd".
