    As far as i know, he only got rid of GS and not WFC, which has the worse performing price of the banks.

    Seems WFC wasn't in the mix: LINK

    Possible reasons behind the sellout: LINK

    Fed last night said they have lots more ammunition.

    Moderno also had great results from a vaccine trial.

    Expecting a big up day, espeically for tourism, hospitality etc

    Which makes timing for 2nd crash wave harder to predict, probably not until Autumn/winter once Covid picks up and USA elections are done and dusted.....

    Euro Stoxx 50 up about 4% and S&P 500 has increased 3% so far.

    Seems a bit much...

    As someone with shares I am delighted to see the bounce but I don't buy it. Think there is way too much optimism built into share prices. I think some stocks and sectors still hold value but I am staying well clear of and leisure and travel related stocks. I am generally optimistic on how quick overall the economy can recover but I am very pessimistic on some sectors. I think regardless of being allowed reopen a lot of people just will not be interested in heading back out that fast. I think the recovery is going to be very slow for some sectors

    I was sitting on a significant FTNT holding for 10 years selling at what I thought was an all time high two weeks ago only to see them shoot up since. Every time I see the latest price I have an anxiety attack :)

    Any sign of a vaccine has resulted in a boost in the regular world stocks (airlines, cruises), and a drop for the lockdown stocks (Zoom, Peleton, Teledoc).

    Been a while since my 2 biggest growers in a day are a Restaurant Chain and a Gym Chain.

    I bought a bit more GOLD, AUY and KGC today, last 2 are down over 5% today. Considering there is really no new news this is purely sentiment, feelings and hope driving the market today.

    But I do regret not padding out my Cannabis holding with some ABC last week. Would have been a nice wind fall today.

    Kirkland's was my next go to but it's after increasing 75% after hours on store re opening news.

    Still incredibly undervalued in my opinion even at those prices.

    I agree, 3% days are far to volatile swings, sold of nastily on the close yesterday too.
    I sold off some of my positions and am sitting in cash for a few days, wouldn't be surprised to see further violent up and down swings again this week as vaccine hopes are tempered with reality and the current simmering row with the Chinese continues..

    the trick is to always sell europe early morning if wall st closes up strong the previous evening

    europe is a follower , it cannot lead higher so relies on yesterdays momentum stateside , this burns out quick

    I have often tried to work out the rythmn of the markets Asia->Europe->US->....

    I think it really depends which region springs some important news.... the other regions will then re-act.

    US and Asia tend to originate most of the news ...and Europe tends to simply re-act most of the time

    If you get it right, its a easy win for your portfolio ... but sometimes regions and particularly individual stocks can throw you a curve ball.

    Its all part of the fun :D

    it doesnt matter how good the news is from europe , if the U.S market goes red , europe follows , thats why selling before mid morning is often wise , if pre market in the usa goes red , europe nearly always turns back down

    europe has no independence

    I've been doing ok last few weeks on GNMK

    bought originally I think about $4 and sold them at $12.50 ish

    Then I just swing traded on them picking them up at $10.5 and selling at $12'ish

    Long may it last as its working out so far

    If they tank my SL saves me and if they pick up then its just a bit more profit

    by setting automatic orders it takes the stress out of watching it constantly

    Some valid points but don't be fooled by supposedly similar looking charts though.

    You could also take the 2020 chart and match it with typical examples of bear market rallies eventually leading to further drops.

    See below, I could say Feb 2020 to to May 2020 exactly matches the pattern of July 1929 to Feb 1930, and that if things turn out the same we are due for the end of the bear market rally and another dip (I am not saying this is where we are heading, just pointing to the fact that past charts and patterns can be used to support completely opposite predictions).

    Spotify making big gains today. Presumably due to Joe Rogan announcing his show is going to be exclusively available on the platform. They're really making huge progress in the podcast area.

    Yeah they're my favorite of the app stocks, they bought a company last year that make podcasts too, so they make money even from podcasts you listen to on other players

    With many economies opening up right now and also assuming there will be remissions in many countries, I expect oil prices to slowly recover as the cars are going back on roads, but quarterly results, bankruptcies, and a long recession/depression should stop the stocks rally and push it down. A lot.
