Weekly ETF Rewind: Volatility Reintroduced

Would be helpful to me if you would rewrite your Risk/Reward indicator glossary explanation to include an example along with some different and expanded verbiage. Thanks

Thursday Outlook: Commodities, Global Markets

Same old story. When Da Boyz determine that retail market is Bearish enough ,they do the opposite, sometimes accompanied by a big short squeeze preferably, but sometimes without.
Then when its run up to rediculously overbought levels fundamentally and technically , they set things up for the correction they know has to happen -- always has and always will happen, for certain and guaranteed.
Actually it's easier to exploit than a rally, safer too.
Those big computers and all that data and personnel online with the hair triggers, both
manual and automated , DOES make a BIG difference , and they are determined to milk it to the extreme , and why not?.
The difference between them and us is that they have the massive money power and all the connections to move the markets when they can time it right, which is almost all the time, and which is more than enough to pocket most of the money.
They really don't need any more help with the rules, they do well enough already, but then with them, enough is never enough.
And no, the rule changes don't surprise me any, it's all part of a rigged game.

Rallies: The Million Dollar Question

I should not and will not disparage your data or views, instead I thank you for them, as they are meaningful and relevant.

As one who was reasonably market savy in the troubled times of 1974, as a then amateur small investor, I can tell you that America at large had a great deal more vitality and genuine optimism for the future then, compared to what exists today.

This was in spite of some very difficult and trying times.

Our industries,and our manufacturing base, were much more dynamic and productive, and most believed , in spite of the hard times, that the difficulties were temporary, and that our best days lay ahead.
Most still believed in upward mobility of ordinary Americans, and jobs were still to be had in many solid and dynamic and growing industries.

I , for one, do not sense that this is true to the same degree today. The reasons for this would properly fill a book.

Whether this is reflected in the stock market is anyone's guess, but as for myself , I intend to remain cautious in "domestic" stock markets, even beaten down as they are, and explosive rallies or no.

Global Markets in Review: Emerging Markets Lead the Way

One of my favorite weekly reads , and the best, and most intelligently constucted summaries out there, and with the most relevant selected commentary.
No doubt a market breather "should" be on tap. If it doesn't happen, and goes up instead, the shorts will revel in their new opportunities.
