the upside is that when this all over, we'll see a bull market like no other

bull market may take 3-7 years to really get cranking. Keep that in mind. America will not have a fast recovery, unless we invent some new product the world really wants and can't produce like we can.

I think this is a good time and a good switch to BOTD, with POTP the fact was we knew things were overpriced and would be worst. Our money was made when the market had finally realized it. Now its different TOO MUCH TOO FAST which fucks puts but has a lot of stocks seeming very attractive. I figure open very small positions and watch it ride.
Still day trading however long on oil, basic materials and hell even some financails. Very small positions

BUY ON THE DIP said...

yeah, you like how we switched to BLACK and the BOTD bull logo last night!!??! WTF!!! could we have been more wrong/early.... ?

i guess HOPE & PRAYER isn't an effective trading strategy.

but if you look at SMN, SKF, etc.. all the inverse ETFs, they have that bubble top look. whatever.

p.s. we are happy about using stop losses effectively, usually we dont display much discipline ... today it saved our ass.

spot prices for steel got hammered today, and who knows when they'll go back up..... and exactly what do the banks balance sheets look like?...I think this uncertainty is why the market is so beaten....nobody knows how deep this shit really is...just look at the VIX!!!

BOTD, gold is not relevant to DOW, the dollar and supply/demand are the drivers. The dollar should not be rallying like it is, it should be falling sharply soon, this will send gold even further up. physical demand is very high as AL currencies are inflated and trust in the financial system is lost. I still say gold is gold. I've got physical gold and silver and I am not selling until it is like $1500-$2000/oz.

BUY ON THE DIP said...

we keep buying the buzzer, LONG ETFs! yay :-( hoping for that 'choke , choke' relief rally, ...

when it comes, if it comes, gold should dip unjustly ... we'll add to our DGP position when it does.

go team.
