Scstocks,
Don't feel bad. This market is so manipulated. If you can't sit there and watch every technical signal, or get in at the right point, and out a few hours later with a profit, you may lose entirely. That's what I've done for the last 6 months. So, I quit.
And while I too am losing money value to inflation, at least I know I'm not being played voluntarily by the FED/gamemakers. And that's a small victory. If Obama gets re-elected, you can kiss this economy goodbye. That's what the puppet-masters are engineering. I won't buy into this bogus prop-up, even if SPY sets a new all-time high before the election.
It is so blatantly obvious that Obama is their main horse. How does a guy who did nothing his first year get the Nobel Peace Prize, if not to try to deify him? It's just pathetic how low these pukes will stoop to push their agenda.
I am trading in a paper money account, strictly for fun and to try out my investment/gambling ideas.
It's much better losing thousands on paper, than for real. Fun even!
