Just a Thought:
Believe that the "news" trading activity is slowly but surely becoming a thing of the past. The news must be solid with no build-up of buying beforehand for a stock to appreciate fully. Even now, the stock may not move positive. There may be a gap, a day's retraction, and later a accumulation based on fundamentals a day or week later.The days of "fluff" announcements will yield nothing. As more and more non-reporting companies are banished to the "pinks", the general investment dollars in the pennies could/will pour into less and less stocks, leading to more intense fluctuations in price. Some companies with solid financials may even appreciate greatly and hold. BUT ONLY ON MERITS! That would be a change, now wouldn't it? There will always be daytraders, shorters, position players, MM's taking the short side, and some that believe in the potential of the company-long term. That is a fact. Welcome to the market! Watch it, enjoy it, profit by it, or lose your shirt/blouse. The choice is yours. Always has been, always will be! Enuff said, DD |
