With Dow already down by 2000, selling now doesn't make much sense in long term. | I didn't say estimate where the bottom is. I said wait for an idicator that the trend has reversed. U don't need to catch the very bottom. Trend reversal indicator.
And yes its down 2000 points but why were u holding it the entire time? Why didn't u sell off earlier and buy back now (or later). Or why didn't u short it this whole time?
Downtrend doesn't have to be big to be worth while. Trend is a trend. Up or down its all the same. You only need to catch a bit of the trend.
I duno anyone that's so good that they always buy at the bottom and sell at the top.
Like I said I trade futures. I can't "hold" positions while I wait for them to reverse. I'd lose the shirt off my back from margin calls everyday Posted via RS Mobile |

I think it's simply a difference in what you guys play and the inherent perspective/strategy, you play futures right? IIRC you only need a tick or two a day and you're making decent income, so that is a different inherent perspective than from someone who's investing :s

So much for sustained rally. I am glad I have limited exposure to the US market in my mutual funds.

i recommend buying ETF's in gold - the miners are too risky, they can mess up, whereas an ETF just tracks the shiny stuff (personally i'm in UGL, a leveraged ETF, up >40% in the last couple of months on a >20% run up in gold)

^ its talking about "fair value" back in 2007.
@blkgsr , don't get scared @ what SH people assume. Cuu's fundamentals are still there
edit: especially of how the thread is talking about the technical of the price point, with NR to come the SP will definitely spike up or down with results (hopefully up)
edit2: does anyone here hold ONR.TO?
