Today might be a bad day in the market.
I'm not trying to make a 'prediction' or anything of the sort. While the Asian/European markets are trending slightly down, and any other time I'd suspect our market would be up (after the fall of last week, there seems like a lot of potential good buys,) I was surprised to see the futures down.

In fact, looking around on the various market floors there seems to be a very gloomy (more than usual) atmosphere, and watching Bloomberg and seeing some surprising indicators, I just think today has some potential to be a somewhat bad day.

But now that I've called it down, I suspect we'll be up 10,000 points and it will be the best rally in history :P

Difference is you don't have a lot of control over what happens in the subway. You can't turn on the news and say "Huh, the subway seems to be preforming unnaturally poorly today."

Ignoring indicators is never a good idea, even if the premonition doesn't come to pass.

I have tons of control over my participation in the market. You're telling me to ignore market indicators (as though commenting on it is panicking,) and comparing it eating bad food.

Because there's a lot to "mope" about. The indicators this morning are very strange. Those interested in financial "games" as you call them, will likely be interested in what I pointed out. It could, and very likely is nothing. However, it deserves a double take.

The Shanghai index was up over 2% last night?

Today will be fine. Either a rally or flat by end of day.

That is because China JUST overtook Japan as the world's NUMBER TWO largest economy.

I think Jake is right. Today could be dangerous to the downside. As in 200 DOW points down if lucky and 300 if things are really in a bad form.

People talking about the stock market as if it were real is kinda funny. It's like listening in to conversations in the psyche ward.

Loosing a month's wages is pretty real, gaining also. It could buy you real good psychic drugs.
Of course it is all money gained without production and could be very detrimental to economies, but also that is rather real.

What's funny is people thinking that stock market moves are based on any kind of news.

Either journalists/bloggers find a news item that in hindsight 'explains' the price movement (like an Irish Bond auction, or the GDP of Lithuania or one company buying another company) or the come up with a 'reason' why a particular expected news item like the FOMC meetings meant a change in direction for stocks.

Some 70-80 % of trading is done by computers. And guess what? They don't read newspapers.
