Why all the doom and gloom over falling stock prices? The only reason investors are worried over a crashing market is because they just don't know how to trade stocks. My portfolio is up almost 100% each and every trading month. Whether the market is going up or the market is going down, it's all the same to me. I really can't get behind all of this financial hand-wringing and whining. If stocks are going down then sell short. Or buy puts. Or even sell calls. I mean, there are plenty of ways to cover your assets in a falling market. Oh, I know the government put some restrictions on short-selling for a few days. They even put restrictions on buying certain puts for several days. There have even been restrictions on market orders placed before the opening bell, but so what? Are we all so locked in to the silly little notion that all we can do is buy and hold stocks for the long term that we've all forgotten how to roll up our sleeves and get a little dirty? There's TONS of money to be made in the markets right now. Today. In fact, EVERY trading day, whether the market is soaring or going straight down the crapper is a fantastic day for any trader who understands the markets and knows ahead of time which way they're going. That's the real problem most traders have, isn't it? They simply haven't a clue how the markets really work. And what's worse, many of them THINK they understand what's going on. They THINK that fundamentals or some piece of breaking news is what is driving the short-term direction of the market. I'm sorry, but those blinkered investors get very little sympathy from me. Wake up and embrace the markets in all of their multi-directional splendor! You can't just sit back and wait to make money in a market that's spiraling ever higher. That market's a memory. It may return, but right now you've got to switch financial gears and get with the program. First of all, understand that stock prices are NOT random and never have been. Stocks trade to a very precise mathematical pattern. Always. Every day, rain or shine, up-market or down-market stock prices are predictable. It's easy enough to see that for yourself. Just place a child's plastic protractor on the high point or the low point of almost any stock chart and look at where prices fall. Just look at how many daily trading ranges hit the 50, 60 or 70 degree line on your protector TO THE PENNY. Now look for chart gaps. How many of them are cut by one of the three degree lines I just mentioned? 100% of them? How can any of that be in a random market? It can't - obviously. Now just as obviously you can't trade the markets using just that child's protractor, but the point is THE MARKETS AREN'T RANDOM. Whether you can see the whole pattern or not isn't important. The important thing is that the markets aren't random. And if they aren't random then there MUST, by definition, be a pattern to them...there MUST be a way to predict them. So don't settle for guessing which way the markets are going. Learn how to use Fibonacci ratios. Experiment. Let your imagination run wild as you pour over chart after chart looking for the formula that will tell you with laser-like precision what the short-term direction of the market is. The answer is there. In a non-random market the answer HAS to be there. Because once you abandon the idea that the markets are random, and once you disabuse yourself of the notion that your broker knows more about stocks than you do, then the sooner you can commit yourself to discovering the truth behind the markets and the sooner you'll be able to smile every trading day regardless of the direction the market is headed.
