Best September in 71 Years

Recommended Posts

Ok, really who saw that coming on August 31st?

 

The stock market posts its best September in 7 decades?

 

All I remember was tremendous amount of doom and gloom. My inbox was stuffed with market prophets telling me I should prepare for dark days, stock up on water and food for the storm cellar and be prepared to live through a depression.

 

Then September rolls around and defies all odds and expectations and performs really solidly.

 

Out of the woods yet?

 

Most of us laughed, me included when the reports came in that the recession had actually ended some time ago, but that's the way these things work - when there is any economic growth, no matter how slim.

 

Now the question is -- does October continue to defy all the prognosticators or does reality come crashing down?

 

This is one of the reasons why I try to stay away from fundamental analysis of the markets. I find it difficult to predict and do my best to trust the technicals, fully knowing that even those will be wrong 30% - 40% of the time -- the trick is being right the other portion and capitalizing on it.

 

No matter what I'd rather make my money in trading with the markets on the way up, not on the way down -- but I'll short and sell as needed.

 

Good luck to all in October!

:No one knows what the future holds. It is quite possible that the market is manipulated. Sometimes the market reaction to the news is opposite to the message, or maybe the public is too jittery.

 

What I see on today's candle, is almost a shooting star. Combined with a bit of profit taking, isn't it possible that the market will back off for a few days? That would be nice, because my 401K is bored not being in a trade. :haha:

    • Here’s something few are talking about: The Chinese are printing money like it's going out of style. Not that you'd hear about it in the mainstream news. But Bitcoin knows.   Bitcoin always knows.   Here’s the thing…   When the Chinese government prints money to paper over the cracks, their smart money doesn't sit around waiting to get devalued.   It usually flows into three things: Bitcoin, gold, and dollars.   After years of being beaten down, gold's having one of its best years in decades. But here's the secret -- whatever gold does, Bitcoin's going to do it bigger.   Much bigger.   Since last November, when China started their printing spree, Bitcoin's been moving in near-perfect correlation with the People's Bank of China's balance sheet. Over 80% correlation, maybe even 90%.   Again, few are talking about it.   But here's why this matters right now: This could be the beginning of a huge breakout in the crypto markets.   Bitcoin broke above its July high, and historically, that's led to new all-time highs over 90% of the time. The only times it failed? COVID and the 2022 bear market.   That's it.” – Chris Campbell   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/     
    • Originally Answered: How can I compete with people who are better than me in every way?   So you want to outcompete people who are smarter, better looking and more experienced than you?   No problem!   All you have to do is outwork them.   Will Smith said, "if we both get on a treadmill either you're going to get off first or I'm going to die trying."     Most people just aren't willing to work that hard. Sure, they'll show up for the job interview and maybe practice in front of the mirror for a few minutes, but they won't do hours and hours of research and prepare for weeks. They won't wake up early and stay up late working on their dreams.   So while all those smart, good-looking, experienced people are waiting around for the next opportunity to come their way, you can outwork them and create your own opportunities.   In a few years, you'll be that "smart" person everyone looks up to. But you'll be different. You'll know it was your hard work, your inner strength and your commitment to living a great life that made you successful and brilliant - not luck or good genes.” – Tom Corson-Knowles, Quora Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
