BTW. Futures are down and I FEEL negative on the markets tonight. But FEELINGS are limited in accuracy. I do have a FEELING about the markets that is not good. MAY FEELING? Sellers are emerging. I thought this was supposed to be a trading bottom today. Hmmmm, let’s see what happens tomorrow.

Good Luck!
It was likely NOT a "SCREAMING buy" because it was at the fair market value. In general, the "market" has more info than you do as an individual investor - XOM has been down for 20 years for a reason.

It sounds like trying to time the market - that is not smart either - it is not about what you FEEL.

Luck really should have little to do with market trading.

Timing is Everything. BUY LOW; SELL HIGH.
Like every stock, what matters is when you BUY IT and WHEN you SELL IT. Nothing else matters. Sell it if you think it CAN'T GO UP ANY MORE. Hold it if you think it can. TIMING is the key to investment!!!

Good Luck!

You just lost your credibility with this post. At least what little you had left.

What part of my post don’t you understand? Buy low and sell high? Timing is everything? What is your investment strategy....buy high and sell low? Are you one of those Valuation Investors who look at the company fundamentals before they buy?

Hope your stock timing is better than your economic forecasts. ..personally I don’t believe you get either correct ….you can tell us what a great investor you are but I don’t buy it ..

No investor is as anti investing as you are so without proof I can’t believe a thing just based on your five years of doom predicted and your calls for gold and market destruction never happened.

No investor posts like you did back in March about the beautiful sea of red when market were falling or praying for a deflation in assets .

Nope I don’t believe you are an investor, not that you care ,

Why would you be living on your parents money as a great investor ….(your words in a post )

The bankers aren't the problem- the fundamental problem is that the entire world is desperately attached to a paradigm that has no future. Without the bankers and their manipulations, the financial system would have collapsed at least a decade ago. The bankers keep this moribund paradigm going, so we can all enjoy the euphoric drunken debt orgy a little longer.

All these ZIRP and Fed conspiracy theorists are like David Icke - a crank who claims that the moon isn't real and that the world is run by shape-shifting alien reptiles.

Restating what you just said ... PREDICTING THE FUTURE is the key to investment.
Thanks for the tip.

Our Masters live in great fear of the free market. They can’t control it. If they can’t control it, they can’t control the people in it and thus have less power and influence. This Criminal Cartel needs to be dismantled and their members publicly prosecuted for treason and destruction of America. Banks should be reformed and run like public utility companies and bankers should go back to work those boring jobs from 9-5 as a public servants.

Good Luck!
Because, the system.

Because, we made a deal with the devil...and now we are all in too deep to throw off those shackles without taking us all down.

Buckle up. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.
