      Time to Start Buying Dips in the Technology Sector
      All responsible financial institutions preach about market unpredictability and hence the need to focus on long term investment goals via asset allocation. They also preach about looking at the fundamentals while deciding who/what to invest it. However I am convinced that the market unpredictability is driven by wall street expectations and fundamentals are just part of the equation but hardly the key driver in the market movements. Is it just me that thinks this?

      Wall Street is ran by a bunch of overreacting buffoons. The market goes up or down at their whims and fears, forget the fundamentals, let's just run around like chicken little because the sky is falling. Well at least chicken little has a real reason, what's your lame excuse, wall street?

      Intel's Board Stares Down Critics, Declares Quarterly Dividend Payout
      I consider myself a noob in understanding market dynamics, so someone more knowledgeable please enlighten me. This has bothered me for years but I come to realize that the movement of a stock or index up or down is ultimately determined by the market expectations, not fundamentals, but simply expectations. For example, when the market expects a 1/2 point cut by Feds and instead gets 1/4 point cut, the market goes down. So how does the market consensus of a 1/2 point cut come to in the first place? Is there collusion among the analysts and pundits that we aren't aware of? Because I see many analysts disagree with each other all the time, how does a market consensus form in the first place? Like today, Bush announces a stimulus plan and the market goes down because the market expected more. Who/what the hell is this market consensus?

      F*** the analysts and pundits, they are so stupid they couldn't see a good company if it bit them in the ass. It is absolutely ridiculous that Intel dropped 13% in 1 day on meeting expectations and Merrill Lynch only dropped 12% with very bad news. Tell me again, how do you dumb ass analysts and pundits call yourselves experts when all you do is run around like chicken little with no cause. The analysis and ratings of stocks and companies are done on sound principles but not one has bothered to come up with a way to incorporate analysts and pundits stupidity into the equation. If we can come out with that formula, they we will be able to really predict the market because ultimately it is the emotions (unjustified in Intel's case), not sound principles, that drove the stock down this week.
