NIBBLING HERE

I took the opportunity to get far away from the screens this weekend. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I was hoping for a better market set-up here today, but it looks like we’re heading into some quiet grind. I just picked up some NQ at 4143.5…we can start there.

I’m trying to create a new list of stocks to trade this week. If you have anything compelling, post it in the chat and let’s get to work.

    $AMCX has been strong amidts the weakness and not a horrible looking chart IMO. Good for a long term portfolio.

      Why do you want to hang on to this dog? Sell it and keep your money for the rainy days ahead and plow it into a quality company.

      I posted here a year and a half ago to get out of VMW, now it’s worse.

    that essentially ::

    short (higher oil & CAD rate decision) / long (lower stocks)

    I’d like to start legging into a long-term position in oil. Is USO the simplest way to do this?

      Or a solid oil company. Before getting into any of the ETFs / ETNs make sure you know how they work and the possible tax implications.

    So numb at this point. Stocks go up and down and sometimes you will be right on the direction and sometimes you will be wrong. I’ve seen and been on both sides. But I’ve never seen the carnage going on in commodities. It boggles my mind that the Fed talks about inflation. My “thesis” has been that commodities can’t go to zero because there is a finite amount of them. But the way they are trading it feels like that’s exactly what will happen (joking… Right? Right????)

        Nope , just trying to catch a falling knife. Wow, amazing you don’t understand the concept of “relative .” Cuz it was relatively weak compared to others. Haha.

    Too many people trying to catch the knife. Just step aside man. I moved to cash two weeks ago after losing on about 75% of my trades over a 2 month span. Sometimes the market just wants to go lower and its best to step aside

      Oil at $29.5 is fucking dangerous man. I don’t pretend to know what the market knows. I just am trying to be in cash for really panicky times. This move lower seems to lack panic which is even scarier to me

      That seems to be the best strategy. Just throwing away money in longs at this point

      Rush in and then rush out with a thinner wallet. What’s the urgency?
