Evaluating Rumors and News Along With T/A and F/A

Introduction Compact

Ever wonder which way a stock is going to go after the initial gap up or gap down because of an external news event or rumor. Will there be a continued sell-off or will there be a reversal rally? Should you sell or sell short the gap up? Should you buy or buy to cover the gap down?

The purpose of this thread is to rationally discuss how to evaluate what Wall Street's immediate and later-on evaluation of the news or rumor is going to be. Feel free to discuss your experience, strategies and tactics for deciding whether to buy, sell or hold and the thought process behind your ultimate trading decision based on the degree/importance of the news and the timing of the news. Feel free to discuss how to interpret the difference between real news/rumors, less important news/rumors and irrelevent news/rumors/hype/flat out market manipulation. There are no clear cut right or wrong answers.

Types of events and rumors for discussion include S&P Futures way up or down in pre-market, sector news/comments, upgrades/downgrades, analyst comments, earnings, splits, preannouncements/warnings, articles/publications, SEC reports/filings, may have on stock prices both initially to several days later.
