Is there anywhere that people are discussing stocks that are good shorting opportunities these days? I know I'm late, but hopefully not too late. We're in a heap of trouble... `BC

>> They are buying the market now and yet gold is getting sold more. Earlier they were selling gold to meet margin calls, now they are selling it to buy oversold S&P. <G/NG>

Short term trends are driven by emotions - fear, panic and greed. Greed is an emotion that grows slowly but fear and panic produce quick responses hence markets sell off more quickly than they rise. Hedge funds can exaggerate these trends due to group think and the herd mentality ( the over crowded trade leading to margin calls or panic liquidation) . Gold has been the trade of the decade and I expect it to continue to do well but we must remember a sector can sell off from overbought levels regardless of how solid the fundamentals.
