TA is only useful because other people think it is useful (no real reason). You summarized the most important fact, sentiment and performance is what really matters and will crush TA all the time.
Never heard of Jack B! Now Tom Lee, that's my guy.

Sentiment can be measured by technicals, charting, candlesticks etc..that's part of the point.TA is only useful because other people think it is useful (no real reason). You summarized the most important fact, sentiment and performance is what really matters and will crash TA all the time.

lol I'm assuming this is somewhat tongue in cheek.
China wouldn't attack Taiwan short of a full scale invasion. And if they planned on invading, they'd need months of amphibious assault training for around 500k-2M troops (total estimated needed to capture and occupy Taiwan successfully). To put in perspective, it took Russia months of round the clock movement to build up troops on Ukraine's border before invading and that was just to position ~190k troops into place. China would never be able to discretely invade Taiwan, the writing would be on the wall months if not a year+ in advance.
If you start hearing reports of massing of troops on the mainland side of the strait, then you'd want to think about shorting.
Finally showing signs of cracking and catching up with the rest of FAANG and tech at least to a degree?
I posted this a few days ago.
I waiting for it to roll over. AAPL has been a very slow mover downward. it was only 5 months ago, AAPL was $140, $20 lower than today price. I think one big push will get us closer to $140. When it hit $140, it will be time to buy AAPL, CRM, NVDA, PYPL, and ADBE.
MSFT was like that until it wasn’t. Cramer mentioned that MSFT is a great stock but the PE is too high a couple of days ago when it started dropping. No one mentioned it was an expensive stock until it fell.
This article indicate a low of $134 using a 20 PE. I was going to post the comment but I no longer can see the entire article.
It's an experiment!
TQQQ is a bit nutty, but UPRO isn't bad at all. I can see holding UPRO for long-term. We shall see about TQQQ.
DOCU getting pummeled again. Down 17%, after hours. Not long ago (early December) it was mentioned on this board that people are “irrational“ and “stupid“ when a selloff brought DOCU down over 50% to about $135. Well, three months later it’s down another 40%. A lot of lessons being learned …….
and Rivian….. yikes. Down another 13% after hours

Well I wasn’t participating or even reading the thread much back then but as I’ve said my non participation was a sign of my thoughts on crazy valuations and interest in high flying names.
Rivian = Don't be Stupid. Buy TSLA
All other EV makers are just talk until proven otherwise.
It could go there and I think the 140s is an area of support before that though. It hasn't breached the 200DMA yet but it's been flirting with it. I tend to think sooner or later it will break but I don't know when.
China retaliation news on any sanctions of Chinese companies probably hurt it too today. NKE didn't take too big of a hit though.
Probably just a head-fake but hoping for a lot of green today.
Could be but as far as the open is concerned it's looking green.
Back of mind often thinks people like him who know they can move the market make comments and front run them long or short.
Ackman tries to drastically move the market down but didn’t work. I guess he’ll have to wait like everyone else.
He is the worst. Loved it when Icahn B*tch slapped him on CNBC
Not that I would buy or have ever owned either of these stocks but Dan Ives of Wedbush on Halftime about RIVN and DOCU with contradicting price target and comments vs recommendations.
A perfect example of what I said just the other day about analyst recommendations. They don’t often put sells on stocks and their recommendations are nonsensical compared to their analysis and/or price targets. Commentary and analysis can be useful but the actual recommendation forget about it. Scott Wapner called him out on it, which is one thing I like about the show (he pushes the panelists and guests), but I don’t think Ives really gave a satisfactory explanation.

Wedbush when pushed about which Fang was the best , AMZN, in yesterday discussion.
CNBC discloses long positions by guests, gotta do to same with those weasel short sellers.
Many of the Tech keep on drifting farther down ADBE, MSFT, NVDA,FB, PYPL and AAPL.
MY Target prices
ADBE $300, MSFT $250, NVDA $180, PYPL $84, and AAPL $140

Hoping and wishing isn't a strategy. The entire market is down due to irrational fear and silliness. Better option is just a leverage play of the indexes.
With that said, definitely adding to a few favorites as well.
I like the “irrational fears” as you call it. The volatility has been great for me. Up about 5% thus far in 2022.
Why? They are still making their fees and money continues to flow to ARK (not sure why, but it is). Keep an eye on ARKG. Almost down to pre-COVID level!
S&P is down 11.79% for the year, so a 5% return is outstanding.
The year has 5/6th to go. Let's hold off on admiring the current crumbs. Set yourself up for the rebound and blast off!
I traded volatility the summer after grad school. It's a fantastic play of either a) macro events get wierd like they are currently, or b) things are booming and vol is at an all time low. Just waiting game.
up 5% in less than 3% when the Nasdaq is down 18% and S&P is down 12%, I'll take it. It's not as good as your impeccable stock market time... oh wait... that's not true. Weren't you loser who was insulting people and calling them names like chicken little or little bear for not buying AAPL at $170? How's that working out for you? I told you to wait for a level closer to $145-155. You need to the respect people smarter than you... which is pretty much everyone on this forum.

That is why I play the long/short game. It is good to be in hedge funds.The year has 5/6th to go. Let's hold off on admiring the current crumbs. Set yourself up for the rebound and blast off!
Hedge funds are for sissies. Missed out on massive returns of the past 10 years by being scared and playing it safe. LOL!
Go leverage when the market is artificially down. Simple stuff. Open your mind and learn.
Nice try. I think most people would agree that index funds and ETF's are for sissies (your core investments). I don't have much respect for you, but I will give you this much, you don't give up. You are the kind of person that my wife describes surgeons as... "Often wrong, but never in doubt" except that you have 1/3 the IQ of most surgeons.
I have no respect for people like you. Scared and playing it safe. If you just weren't so narrowminded and tried something new, you would get ahead. I know missing out on all those gains over the past 10 years keeps you angry, but you shouldn't use an online message board to complain so much. Try to be more happy!
Sounds like you are projecting your failures onto others. Anyways, good luck with what ever it is that you do. Keep buying high and selling low and justify it by calling it DCA. We need morons like you or else it would be much harder to make money. Hopefully it works out for you. If not, then I will give you a job cleaning the toilets in my hedge fund. We give out incredible bonuses to everyone. I know how much you like bonuses. I will no longer be responding to your foolish comments. If you have a coherent argument then I will respond back.
