Well I suppose it's an easy mistake......for some of us..."clown" would be a compliment!Can't Never Tried wrote:You can understand how it would be assumed, being there are only clowns in BuffaloSilent But Deadly wrote:If you're referring to CNT's advice...he's from Rogers!

Looks like we've got another crystal ball reader - the 20/20 hindsight variety.
BTW - Any chance Bader's allowed back in - maybe just on the hockey board or maybe after election season? His input is sorely missed. (As are all his eye rolls).
AY
And don't jump from the same window as Bader.

I'd say up early then down 300 to end the day. I'd have to think that we might me in a profit taking cycle for a while where the drastic swings are caused by brokers buying at sub 9000 levels then selling off again at +9500 levels. Buy. Sell. Repeat.
We have some huge market factors coming up, a probable election of a democrat to the Presidency giving all 3 power seats to one party, never a good thing for the markets. this will be closely followed by a predicted terrible Black Friday where many retailers won't make anywhere near the money they need to to make earnings estimates. Just an educated hunch but by December 1st we may be longing for the days when 9000 was a low point.

Either that, or ask CNT....

I moved back in when it was at 9k, and yes it's dropped since then... so AY I was in for the gain today, unfortunately I have not recovered from the drop from 9k to near 8k, however I anticipate that my timing will still pay off as the funds I moved back into were at what I thought was about as low as it could go at the time I bought back, either way I bought back at about a 30% discount from what I sold at so in time I will be better off.....at least that's the plan!
