For example Dow will drop 1000 in a day, Fed will say "I can cut the rates now", Market will not give a f$%^& , it will drop 1000 more immediately. If they cut, we know that they can cut only once forever, market will converge to zero faster. Whatever they do they say it will bring more selling.
for example CPI will come better than expected, market will not believe because we already new it doesnt reflect the real numbers anyway. Since there are no more shorts, who is gonna buy the news, sell more... sel sel sell
For example new home sales will be out, numbers will be great but we know that those houses are given almost free anyway, so it is bad for the real estate and home builder companies. Sell!
if they ban the short selling before the open, buy index puts, or any put, use a dart board it should be just fine. do it before they ban the put buying too.
Market will not trade CPI PPI employment, rate cuts from now on.... good news will mean sell, bad news will mean buy puts and leave for a long vacation. S&P will look like GS or MS or LEH or BSC or banking index chart eventually anyway.... I know it, they know it. We all know these investment banks built american capitalism this century, they are destroying it together. Captain abandoned the ship long ago, it is you left aboard, now they want you to take off your life jackets and work to save the ship. Patch the holes
Take a look at the picture below, do you understand what I mean?
