Volatile Market Conditions: To Stay Profitable, Make Quick Trades

These markets are having a hard time making up their mind and then they are having a hard time sticking with the decision they've made. Some other writers on Seeking Alpha have suggested that perhaps the US government's plunge protection team (the real name escapes me) is actually in the markets buying equities or futures which would explain some of the erratic sudden rallies that seems to come out of nowhere just as the market seems poised to drop off a cliff. I have been burned so many times by these kinds of moves which is why I like what you said about making quick trades. This has been the key to me finally becoming profitable trading this bear. While I was often right about the direction or turning point, I was not right for very long. Taking quick profits has solved this problem.
