Thean and GD, Oh I didn't buy Tech but sold short all the drillers/oil when you two guys were bullish a few days ago....As I have said on several occasions on this tread...always do the opposite of the market. Thean you are a very good indicator of where the mkt is heading. Dec 2nd this tread was filled with negative emotion and I told everyone, especially Thean that this is the time to buy..but his "charts" told him differently...Then 5-6 days after the thread became bullish once more...I am bot saying whether Thean led the charge...but I do recall a few scarcastic comments when I cautioned everyone that these stocks recovered too fast and too much...
So I sold short GIFI @ 27.00, PTEN @43 and so on..since everyone and the mkt in general became too bullish...my comments were I guess brushed aside.
So Now that everone has turned negative again, including my good indicator, Thean, I covered my Shorts and was buying like CRAZY yesterday and Today! Bought FIGI @ 30 1/4 , Gifi 21 7/8 4 minuits before the close.. Please don't look at this as critism but shared experience.. You see I check these threads to get a better idea as to whether to buy, sell, or sell short ( doing the opposite of what the feelings and sentiment is abnd the mkt in general) Happy Trading Everyone!!!!!!!!!!
