Picassa, if you want to leave the emotion behind and trade stocks as vehicles to make some profits on, then keep studying what lowtrade teaches. Forget the stories, and forget what you think will happen, and forget what you think "should" happen. Play the charts, and all the better if you have other valid DD/catalysts to support your play, but leave the conspiracies and emotion behind... and don't enter after a runup already looks questionable on the chart as far as risk/reward.
It's not a bad spirit around you. It's trading on emotion which is bad. You have to learn when to buy, and when to sell. STUDY what lowtrade teaches and start from scratch - forget your previous views if it's not working for you.
