Energy Stocks Menaced by 9% in Harrowing Trading Session

It’s all fun and games until your stock drops 15%, just because it can.

This is the prime reason why I’ve opted to forgo common stock trading for 2016, in favor of a methodically disciplined trading program using the Exodus algorithms.

These are the sort of losses you don’t walk away from. You fucking die because of them.

I think the market got ahead of itself over the past two week, with gains in sectors that deserve to be liquidated. I could see the S&P grounding itself after a quick 5% pullback, then grind higher until the end of April.

Don’t make a mountain out of a mole hill.

While the energy sector was off by an astounding 9% today, it’s still higher by 30% from two weeks ago. I will not permit the emotions of the day cloud my judgement. This was an arduous day for longs, a good one for bonds and utilities. Aside from that, it’s only one day and that doesn’t forge a trend.

Tonight’s primaries might stoke things a bit, especially if Trump lands a knockout blow to the catamite, Marco Rubio.

    selling into strength and buying into weakness…..Cant stress enough that getting your principal out of mining stocks and allowing the free shares to stay in the game is the way to really enjoy the volatility that this high beta space provides….

    Maybe Bernie does have a chance of getting the Dem nomination. He’s starting to get bashed a lot too. However, 16 negative stories in 16 hours is still not much, compared to what Hillary has been going through. So she is probably still more of a threat to the favorite candidates of more newspaper writers than Bernie is.
