Odds are you are seeking to make money in this declining market. I have discovered that “quants” basically mathematicians and quantum physicians can apply technical analysis into the charts and make a lot of money. If you-look at the robbreport.com or trader.com you find a lot of million dollar cars, 25,000 dollar suits and many jets (my fav is the Honda (thought they only made cars and motorcycles). The old days of “gut” feel for the markets are over and real estate is already washed down the sewers along with pet rocks, greased hair, the Edsel and all of my 45 rpm record collection.
Even Apple stock once at $200 is below 125–a capital loss for such a innovative company. Even genius’ can be tossed about in the quantum tsunami universe of today’s corrupt market and that French Rogue trader (he is just a book juggling crook) that bankrupted most industry in France; as if they did not have enough trouble like declining wine exports…but we do eat a lot of pizza with cheese on it. But, it is not French cheese, I don’t think. Anyway, there is no way to surf markets and not get hit by other surfers or thrown under the waves and drown. Even the Geeks cannot save us; now what did we call those math addicts in Muncie Southside…I can’t remember but they can contact me at any time and refresh my meager number theory classes and tutor me with the geometry of the stock charts.
Rememer that 60’s song: “Your love give me such a thrill, but your love don’t pay my bills.” I am at that point. My how our vlues change when we can’t pay the rent, much buy gas for the SUV.
