johnpaulca, no time to post today. Too intense & glued to the screen. Entered 5 stocks today. Got that little gap in the morning for PSEM I was looking for. Exited there for just a couple bucks, then picked up again in that huge consolidation pattern earlier today. Made good (unrealized) bucks on that. I knew what it was they were doing as they were doing it. I have seen this before.
Just before a good move higher big money will drive it down hard and fast to create a hightened state of fear. They are hoping to create so much fear that the retail trader not only exits at market for a loss but also loses the confidence to buy at the right time.
I got hit with that ploy several years ago and now can use it to advantage.

As for me, I'm long GOOG and will consider reversing when it rallies up to 700-ish.
Having said that, I mostly trade index futures if you haven't already noticed. Today was a lousy day for me. I booked some decent profit in the morning shorting the market only to give it all back and some more in the afternoon. The irony is that I did see the reversal coming and jumped in long when the market was basing but bailed out too soon and kept on fading the damn thing. Who would have thought the rally would be so strong?
It kinda reinforces the importance of maintaining flexibility: ADAPT OR PERISH!!!
