| Dude, your problem is you are trying to make sense of the market. Just accept that it is a casino, manipulated by the companies, the brokers, the FED, the PPT, and everyone except the investor. It became that years ago, when dividends ended in favor of reinvestment for growth, when market-invested 401s became the norm, and became reinforced when commissions went to essentially zero and J6P could play with the big boys. It's a numbers game, a confidence game, and a max pain game for those who try to make sense of it. Best thing is to either join'em, and quit looking at the numbers, or go under the mattress, or in bonds, which is the same thing nowadays. Me, I'm betting on the mattress, at least I can sleep. |
