yes, the majority are always looking for major reversals and usually get it wrong while the rest just look for minor reversals as in buying the pullback (dip) to catch the trend.
Too right Caseynotes....
Trends are your friend......stick long when you wrote this and you would be up!
Bet you would still be long and up end of this week?

Rampers....de..rampers...all with their own agenda.

All these posters with their charts and fibs....and stoch...and nypad....sentiment rules...and its quite fickle...

“Nothing can stop America when you get right down to it,” Buffett said. “I will bet on America the rest of my life.”
Says the Old Codger. Given that he's 89 that doesn't give America much longer

In my humble opinion, choose your entry times carefully.
I mainly trade indices, wall st, dow etc. Trading these do not even try and enter a trade at the start 8.00 here and 2.30 usa. On the 24 hour markets there is often opportunities at 5 ish in the morning (if you can get up) after the far east closes. You can often map out where its going. Otherwise, look after 9 generally for the tend.
As ever have a plan and stick to it...stop loss wise....
What could possibly go wrong!?

One last thing....trade, trade ,trade....do not enter a position and hope the price will go in your direction...thats gambling....analyse, most of all let the trend be your friend...corny i know...but it works.....

excellent advice above....I guess at least you diversified! Panic not....I have lost lots more and traded it back...
Cut losses, dust your self down, do not trade when you are angry/emotional you will only find disaster. Learn what it is you did wrong....dis associate yourself from your trading account to your personal one...they must be separate....do not take your losses home with you in to your personal life.....
Er...the darkest hour is before dawn! Take a breath....feel your pain...hang on in there....

Yes up 3.6% today, but 'a rising tide lifts all boats'
In any event imho be careful being short here, the failed merger was a good thing, fundamentals behind the housing market are good, low interest rates are also good for the resi market. Plus they have a large % of income from lettings, their franchisee' s and of course the survey dept. Income will take a hit but it will bounce...
Countrywide up 12% today looks a lot better shorting target....they were already struggling before this....
Good luck

or do ig do this to limit their exposure? either way it is irritating....
