Or because we're in a bear market now and there are typically sharp bounces that fade fast in a bear market.

NASDAQ is already in correction territory. Unless you're in the mega caps, it's already been a bear market for a long time. But those are next in line to get whacked.

it isn't necessarily going anywhere:

Cool. If goes another 10% then it will enter a bear market. It is currently flirting with a correction.

Unwinding from a period of max retail liquidity and max fed accommodation will take awhile, especially in the more highly speculative stocks and asset classes.

Investment wise I'm not worried, the good companies will be fine while the zombie companies will keep circling the drain. How it should be, really.

Mega Caps are down 10 to 20% too right now and going lower almost every day.

So fricking random...we're up 460 points bouncing of a huge selloff, but then for no apparent reason the market starts to give back most of those gains.

bull trap?

I love when people make stock market decisions because of the president (regardless of party).

It is that kind of stupidity that allows the less emotional people to make real money.

It makes no sense. The markets were tooling along in fine fashion until about one hour before the closing bell, then the traders collectively jumped off the fiscal cliff.

Look at the body language of the traders: facial muscles contorted, faces trying to hide under the cupped palms of their hands, sheer despair. Why?

Because buying the dip doesn't work in a bear market. But retail traders especially have been trained to blindly buy the dip the past few years, and those who follow that have been getting taken to the cleaners here recently.

Buying the dip, any dip, is a solid long term strategy. Hell, buying period is a solid long term strategy.

Your day/swing trading advice has little to nothing to do with the broader stock market.

I guess I should add an addendum… buying the dip on an index long term is a winning strategy, but not necessarily on individual stocks.

You haven't seen anything yet. Wait until the Russia headlines hit within the next week or so. We will test 30,000 on the DOW.

Yea we won’t get to a point where buying the dip on the market isn’t an effective strategy when long term holding unless we go to WW3 or aliens invade or world is ending
