I am not much of a technical analysis guy so I am not sure. I had predicted 4100 as the bottom earlier this year and we nearly hit that and bounced hard off of 4114. 4100 is 15% off the 52 week high back on January 4th. I put most of my cash to work that day but kept around 5%.What's the next support level?
I have trouble buying at that level. If I buy at 4114, it only needs to drop 5 points to free fall to the next level of support.I am not much of a technical analysis guy so I am not sure.

Fair enough. With all due respect it seems like you have a hard time buying at any level. Unless, of course we are talking 3 times inverse ETFs.I have trouble buying at that level. If I buy at 4114, it only needs to drop 5 points to free fall to the next level of support.
That's not true at all, altho I do place significant hedges when the toilet appears to be flushing. As far as current stock positions other than inverses, I have GD, OXY, UCO, BLDP, CRM, CSCO, FSLR, MATX, TGT, XME, TSN, DELL, FUBO, GS, and scores of tiny position to which I will add as I dispose of my hedge stocks UVXY, SQQQ, FAZ, SARK, RWM, TWM.Fair enough.

seems to be what most are calling for 3700-3800. Although we always seem to have some support at major round numbers so 4000 even may give some support. A lot depends on what’s happening in the world so not sure charts matter as much as they would if it were all macroeconomic. I mean any line isn’t going to hold if all hell breaks loose.That's not true at all, altho I do place significant hedges when the toilet appears to be flushing.

It appears to me, that if the S&P closes beneath 4100, next significant support is about 3811, But I am no chartist, so if someone wants to correct me, I'd appreciate it.
You said the quiet part out loud.picking support levels is just made nonsense that is not based on anything.
Yup. Always thought this.picking support levels is just made up nonsense that is not based on anything that has shown to have any actual predictive nature.
I might agree if there were not SO many chartist traders that make the nonsense real.picking support levels is just made nonsense that is not based on anything.
sure. it just blows through to the next level of support. I think we are in the midst of a black swan event and lots of chart guidance will be broken, esp. on the downside.seems to be what most are calling for 3700-3800.

What basis do you think all the automatic trade programs are based on? They set buy and sell levels based on charts and let the software trade on autopilot. Don't underestimate how many of those programs are out there.Yup. Always thought this.
Think capital preservation is generally underratedTbh, I seldom make trades based predominantly support levels. But I do believe they exist.
Also, I am no pro. I do thrive in chaos. I doubled my portfolio during the pandemic spikes (and lost all the profits back over the next 18 months). This round I will stash all the profits in safe instruments.
All these big tech guys! Gimme gimme gimmeI can't stop buying GOOG.
I planned on something with that today. It had already dropped $5 this morning and now I'm recalibrating my strike price.
My initial order was at $4.75 but upped it as only another $15.I planned on something with that today. It had already dropped $5 this morning and now I'm recalibrating my strike price.
yep. lesson learned,Think capital preservation is generally underrated
Complete longshot, but I'm betting on the financial management acumen of Devin Nunes and the entrepreneurial track record of DJT. If things get harrier overall this week, I could see this stock dropping like a rock.
DWAC put 80, expires 3/11 95 cents a share
if the underlying stock goes back to $96/share, I'll buy more with higher strikes and a better theta
And cybersecurity. Even my small company had a discussion on our monthly call about cyber attacks but as far as I can tell no one needs protection anymore LOL.So this Russia invasion must have ended the need for Semiconductors. Cool.
SOXL at 30, deal (that's a buy). Thank you.
I sold my shares in August at $32.16. Bought them back today at $25.73. Thank you for the heads up.Todem said:MDU a solid utility down 15% YTD. A buy here.
Gotta make an attempt. Is this a line from Dead Man on Campus??Ooof bloody day.
My advice is start drinking heavily.
“Trust him he is pre-med”.
No. But was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?Gotta make an attempt. Is this a line from Dead Man on Campus??
Animal House.Gotta make an attempt. Is this a line from Dead Man on Campus??
Dang. I shoulda got the Animal House reference. Oh well. I'm off my gameNo. But was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
pretty sure that is just reflecting today's drop.Bloody today and futures tomorrow looking just as bloody already down 900. Too late to sell now, IMO
I started Googling this. Seems interesting. I will read more. Do you use this strategy?Check out the Dragon Portfolio by Chris Cole.
Yep, futures dont look all that bad. Will go out on a limb and say we go green across the board tomorrowpretty sure that is just reflecting today's drop.
