Re: {OT} Markets are indicating no confidence in stimulus plan

And once again, THE MARKET DOES NOT MATTER to anyone buying individual stocks. This was true in 1987 when the market crashed, and it's true now. It will always be true. Unless you're buying a fund that's modeled after the DOW or other index, it doesn't matter.

If that was true, there would be no stocks going up. Since there are no stocks going up, you are incorrect.

What the difference between a buying spree and investors cherry picking some good ideas at good prices?

Yes you did, two days ago. But I understand why you don't believe you said it. You don't understand that your choices of words have the meanings they do.

I'm not about to go find your previous messages, but you said something like "If they trusted the stimulus package, they'd be buying stocks, but THEY'RE NOT. Why aren't they?"

99.999999% of people who read those words would take them to be all-inclusive, meaning "nobody is buying stocks". Based on what you're saying TODAY, that's not what you meant to say. You need to read your messages at least twice before sending them.

Those are very pretty, but they don't help with your belief that nobody's buying.

Look only at the text written by me, above, in this message. You said I was digging myself in deeper. Which of my words above make you think that I'm digging myself in deeper?

To help you, I'll list the 3 statements I made above, since they're all kind of mashed together and might be hard for you to see.

1) I only own mutual funds.

2) I told you this yesterday.

3) Somethings was wrong with you and you missed #2.

4) I don't need to own stocks to prove you wrong.

Is your name Strickland today?

It appears you're too busy to explain why you think it's bullshit. Hopefully, you'll find time later.

You know full well that you responded to a typo error.

How much volume is needed to prove that the purchases we're seeing are significant?

Then it's also impossible to say with any certainty that the purchases we're seeing are INSIGNIFICANT.

I understand exactly what you said. It's exactly the reason I left the business. I could easily appreciate the complexity of the issues surrounding investing. Out of 75 clients, only two could understand it. That's not a good business model for a broker who's not comfortable with lying.

What are you so angry about today?

Cabela is a penny stock?

Even if the indices do not include the stocks which are going up? (They're not penny stocks, by the way, so don't try that claim again.)

The market going up doesn't grow the economy either.

I can't wait to see the responses to that comment.

Yes. That's your problem. You could scream at your parents about that. It's their fault.

Perhaps, but if the market is going up or down will certainly indicate what buyers are expecting to happen in the future. Currently they obviously seem to think it is not going to go UP under BO. LOL
