Jim,
I don't merely look at a chart of an index,but rather,monitor MANY different things...including individual equities and forward projections.You said it when "she" wants to go higher.We can also suffer from "analysis paralysis" by making everthing too complicated.Your posts are great and often over my head,but you know what this market is doing.Most of us are frustrated and getting impatient with knowing this market is "wrong" yet it won't let us be right.SOOOO,I have been doing some equity day trades along with the other fools and making some $$$.
About trading index options....you are right about the odds.BUT if you have learned what I have you know enough not to fight a trend too quickly and the second you're wrong....you're out.I am not sophisticated enough to try and scalp intraday moves...guess I am a little slow...but WHEN I think the trend will reverse(with the help of many here)I will return to play/work again.
You have done a lot of great investigating and analysis...but this market doesn't seem to appreciate your efforts or anyone else's that makes sense.Not YET,anyway.IMHO,unless somehting major occurs,this market broke 9200 today and when people come home tonight...well you know how that Psych stuff works.I just keep working harder and harder to find that crack in the dike.
BWDIK
Regards,
Barbara
