Lets not forget the plunge protection team. They interfere every time the market sells off. It is artificially propped up. The vix can turn up high in a flash.
Use upside rallies to sell into while you can.Looks like Federal Reserve talks put a hole in the stock market bubble today.

Earth to Chicken Little: did you only just figure out that the Fed's QE program has left it holding YUGE amounts of securities that it ultimately must sell? And that the time to sell is closing in?
Your grasp of the obvious is awe-inspiring.
This week should be fun. Japan is down 263 points lol.

It stands for Qualitative Easing, which is the program under which the Fed bought all those bonds. The entire world knew at some point they'd have to start selling some. Except you, Chickie.
At least most of them know the difference between the two you ignorant dolt. lol
Are you seriously trying to make Chicken Little look smart? The good thing is, you're both morons.
First off, it's "Quantitative Easing" not "Qualitative", Secondly while the Fed did buy securities, they bought debt, not equities. Not only did they buy bonds, but notes, bills, debentures and many other debt instruments in a largely successful move to keep our markets from imploding during the several year period of roughly 'net zero" interest rates which took away all the traditional weapons the fed usually has at its disposal. Quite frankly it was a genius move and Bernanke deserves huge credit.
BOTH of you have shown a complete lack of understanding about how Quantitative Easing actually works/ed and your homework assignment for the day is to read the last five years of "Money magazine" as you have both proven that you are that magazine's target audience.
Please feel to come back when you can tell me in your own words the difference between notes, bonds, bills, and debentures. Or at least the difference between the debt and equity markets. lol
Conan will be so angry with me. That said, I did use the word "securities" purposely to cover a range of instruments. Thus you are incorrect in your broader point about "a complete lack of understanding." You really need to overcome your need to make grandiose statements on assumptions based on nothing.
but what really surprising me is both you and Chicken Little are missing the biggest elephant in the room where it comes to the market plunging in the next few hours/days.
Trump is meeting with Xi Jinping over the next few days. One of the biggest fear the market has is a trade war with China, I am surprised none of the Chicken Littles have mentioned their fear that Trump will say something so inflammatory that it will spark a trade war and send the markets plunging.
Now THAT is a legitimate fear.
His vague threats over Syria. How he'll respond to North Korean provocations. The list is long.

but it's not reflected in the market, as least for today. Follow the Volatility, aka "Fear" Index - VIX. It spiked during the election, but that's been it. Now considering everything going on, you would think there would be more volatility in the market, but I guess tax cuts and deregulation "trumps" that little shit in North Korea.

1. Sell everything first thing tomorrow morning
2. Don't do anything, because I really don't give a shit
3. Buy protection - do you even have a clue what I'm saying, and I'm not talking condoms
4. STFU and NEVER EVER start a thread or comment about anything related to investments or money for that matter.
Linking a YouTube clip. Jesus Fucking Christ!!!!!!!!

just curious....
...making a killing in the market. They're like their fellow hillbilly rightards who buy lottery tickets in hopes of hitting the jackpot. They all think they're going to be one-percenters like the elites in their party, but they wind up counting on their Social Security and have grown ass kids who can't afford health insurance.
