Guys, don't get crazy playing a counter trend bounce...smallish positions only...big positions are for early part of long term trend changes...like in mid to late 09'.
The biggest losses I have ever taken were in 2000-1 when many high flyers like fiber optics were slashed for 50% and I thought they were done going down. only to go down 80-90%. I have seen many many mono sectors such as internet, banks, fiber optics, biotech, solar, nanotechnology, rare earth elements, 3D. Its the same game over and over but different players and sectors. Gotta find the momo sector early and ride them up and get out at the right time and don't get greedy...once you leave the position and sector don't ever go back. When a high flying sector blows up its rare that any of those companies ever reach their all time highs ever again...stocks like AAPL, GOOG and AMZN can buck the trend but most cannot. We are in the 7th inning earliest and 9th inning latest in this game, don't lose sight of this...the ones that think the game isn't cyclical or that we are in the 3rd inning are going to get their faced ripped off within the year. |

Look at the charts on Nasdaq, Russell and IBB(bios)...ugly looking charts...these are the leading charts...SPX and Dow on the cusp.
Todays reversal impressive, but I would need to see this 3 more days in a row before I am convinced. |

never mess with my VJET trades, no matter how dire it looks......hope that one guy kept his DDD and didn't get shaken down.
Most charts look repaired now. |

At least I now know that a big loss will hardly bother me at all, I lost no sleep and only cared about it for about one day before forgetting I even invested in it. |

Twitter down 7.16%. Netflix down 6.39%. Facebook down 5.19%. All in one day.
Pretty big drops, no? My gut feeling is that one or all of these may be good short term buys (3, 4% on a time scale on the order of days or weeks) on an inevitable "bounce" as investors find value given that these drops are pretty big. Let's see how good I am at this. 4/25/14 ($ per share) FB: $57.71 Twitter: $41.61 Netflix: $322.08 |

Does not matter what business its price should be. If investors/traders are as bullish as they are now, then it could hit $800. Look at TSLA.
