Was today's market action the start of a new leg up, or a one-day wonder?

ONE DAY WONDER and here's why:\nGenerally a one shot news item that is of no direct consequence to the market itself is quickly forgotten.  However, yesterdays news gave hope to the theory that the Fed was done raising interest rates for the time being.  Today however, 4/19/06, the morning news told of March CPI (inflation) being up .4%.  Multiply that by 12 months and it is an annualized inflation rate of 4.8%...much higher than Jan and Feb, which together averaged an annualized 3.8% The stock market HATES inflation because it a precursor to higher interest rates and that hurts the market by making bonds more attractive and also because higher interest rates hurt business profitability and slow down the economy. Today's bad news neutralized yesterday's good news.

I do some day trading using TD Ameritrade Apex. They are VERY helpful and have very fast executions. You must have a lot of knowledge before day trading since it is risky and you can lose all your money within minutes. As of right now, I have the command center up and I am already down $41.00 today. It's been very volatile today, I had a gain of $20.00 this morning and I almost had a loss of $90 for a couple of seconds.

Sorry, I'm a U.S. investor.\n\nBut you better hold off on that question until this Downtrend shakes out. Today was a Reversal Day, and we should get a bounce here. The strength and breadth of this rally should tell us what to do.\n\nWerever your money is parked, it's going to look pretty good when everyone else is complaining about losses in stocks.\n\nGood luck.

Well, I own it, and we recommend it, but I wouldn't say anyone has been making any earth-shattering money with it lately.  It's been relatively flat in recent years.\n\nI still think it's a good buy, though, as the company seems to remain on a good growth trend.  The share price today is relatively low for this stock, and if/when it comes back into favor, it should provide some nice profits.

Google stock has formed a top. It needs to rise above the $470 level to start a new uptrend. The whole group is weak. Yahoo, eBay, Amazon.\n\nI made quite a few bucks trading Google. It is the epitome of CANSLIM stocks. CANSLIM was invented by William O'Neil from Investors Business Daily. He also wrote How to Make Money in Stocks. \n\nThere will be more Googles in the future. You can learn to be ready for them.

Well, there isn't necessarily a direct relationship between stock prices and company products.\n\nI think that Y.A. will continue to evolve. It seems to have attracted a loyal following in its first few weeks, and there are lots of people who visit and participate in Y.A. I think that they are going to have to refine it more in order to find a happy medium between easy access and high quality questions and answers.

YHOO.  It's got a track-record and has broken through resistance of $39 and is demonstrating that $40 is now support.  It should start skipping above $40 from now on, assuming "all else remains equal."

the market doesn't move in a straight line there will be a bounce. traders think the market is oversold so there should be an array of buying oppoptunities. Spyders might be a good short term play this week. Symbol- SPY

Looks ok to me.  eg:\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=MSFT\non Sunday 7th March 2006 shows:\nTrade Time: May 5 \nDay's Range: 23.52 - 23.95\n\nWhich stocks were you looking at, and when?

FCEL, STKL, POZN.  All have been down recently b/c the market has been getting hammered.  POZN took a big loss the other day b/c the FDA says their new drug is effective, but wants a little more info on it's safety.  So it may be poised for a big comeback.  You might be better off investing in bigger companies, these smaller ones are all considered pretty risky!

The "whole market" may not because it is so diverse (e.g. some hedge strategies may even gain) but its probable that tech. in general is going to take a hit because its a Co. that leads in big way and huge investor base.  Its a good research question cause you'll have to separate the day's effects of the Fed rate increase, change of the Fed Chair, and volatile oil mkt.

I just tried to answer this question, typed several paragraphs, then you pulled it. What's the deal?\n\nAnyway, I also sold the EUR this morning, but got stopped out on the spike up at 8:30 prior to the decline. It then declined 50 pips.\n\nIf you had used a trailing 20 pip stop, your trade would have worked out fine.\n\nDon't you move your stop to breakeven when it goes in your favor?\n\nYou did the right thing by executing on the short side, but just didn't manage it when it started running. You have to know that a news release that cements in another rate hike is going to cause volatitility.\n\nThe reasons it went a certain way are unimportant. Just because it doesn't do what you expect is no reason not to trade it. Just follow price and volume, increase your odds, and decrease your risk where and when possible. Sometimes there are no reasons, and you would rarely trade if you had to have a reason every time from some media talking head.\n\nTrade the Mini when volatility increases if you can't afford to lose $1,500.

You are right...it was suspended for about 45 minutes this morning. After it opened, it traded all day today and closed at 1.43. Traded almost 600,000 shares too.

You need only ask yourself one question and you shall have your answer. \n\nIf you knew which stocks were going up and when, why would you want to tell anybody for any price?\n\nThere you have, enough said?
