Bear market rally or not, it was nice to get a little reprieve after the 2Q.

I’m feeling rich rich as frick right now
Feels good mates. Seems odd it still is going up now that we are in a recession but I guess that was already known

Dam a great month was needed and July certainly delivered 
Do think we start treading water with the next two months being the worst for stocks historically . Been buying in small increments the last month but have kept about 30% dry powder for possible bigger dip that may come in the fall. If it doesn't come i will still be adding on dips like i got today on ABBV and SHW a few days ago. Bet the shorts hated July though.

I’d actually rather see the market take a breather. Maybe go sideways for a few months

Ill just keep making my contributions and maxing my Roth hoping to be a boring millionaire about 35 years from now.

Push it up, pull people back from the edge, convincing them to hold, then it will drop to a thousand below where it was before the rally and those people who were on the edge are now on the edge again, only at 1000 points lower. Now they have to decide to ride it out and try to get back where they were, or not. They're pissed at themselves for not pulling the trigger before the rise. It's like gambling. People chase after their losses, trying to recover. The market can play this game with people all day long.

Agreed. People should focus a lot more on the psychology of markets than they do. Especially crypto people. That’s essentially all of what crypto trades on.

If institutional investors can just push it up 10% in a month on a whim, why would they be worried about retail selling back in June and driving it down further?
I believe things like this happen, but this specific instance seems goofy, at least the way you laid it out.

Agreed. Retail investors don’t have the influence on the equity markets that some believe. And retail traders have even less influence.
