The Crime Syndicate at WorkFolks did you notice any changes between today and yesterday in the market conditions that would justify the sell off yesterday and the buying back today. None. Yet the market manipulators Futures and hedge funds have all figure it out for you: here is what they do so everybody can make money in the market at your expense. Mondays and Tuesdays and possible Fridays the Futures set the market to the bullish side, Wed. and Thursdays on the bear side so both longs and shorts can make money at your expense. As a retail investor you have not got a chance. So unless you join the big funds, mutual or hedge , you invest at your own risk. Because as a retail investor you do not get to set the market; you are a market taker. So beware the motto of these crooks is 3 days up 2 days down so everybody longs and shorts can make money at the expense of the little guy. Just monitor this pattern and you'll draw the same conclusions. GL
