traders frustrated, rigged

 

 

I've preached this before in my style, hold 30-40 stocks small position size. One or two fail in the year,

 

get squeezed by the robots when they get on the most shorted list and recover eventually. Typically small change on high breadth

 

days precedes tops but before that some ponzie days surge individuals multi points and I sell them.

 

Some go higher again but amazing how many top ticks I get too.

 

Add to some when down

 

moderately in dull periods and I like the chart. What I like about is to watch their manipulation cadence and I think it takes

 

30-40 stocks to pace that. Often sell down to 10 shares just to remind me to track it and buy if it is down when my cycles

 

are lining up for lows. On breadth days a good many of my stocks will be on the top of heatmap so unless I have a good reason

 

I usually keep 10 shares for tracking. But then a bull mkt makes everyone a genius, have to stay modest.

 

 

Bad point of it is for a global sell, is too many transactions. I already sold down an awful lot trying to figure out my next sell point.

 

Maybe tomorrow if up because there is some lows ahead in my cycles.

 

 

If the market turns down, the next likely low is 40 trading days, 2 months, this time in Oct. I haven't decided my position on that

 

yet so just sold down so far. I think even if it goes up some before going down, 2 months is still a good long trade so I have sold some.

Economic statistics are rigged and the market is rigged.  The FED is buying mortgages head over heals - and that is not within their mandate in my opinion - they are just goosing a real estate market so that the college grads with 100K in student loans cannot buy in.  Not working too well however as many people still are in their houses after 2008 are still upside down on the value vs the debt that they owe.  Way too much theater and not enough real data analyses.

Lack of interest is due to the fact that stocks have reached what looks like a permanently high plareau
