I buy solid companies that create valuable and likable products, who have proven histories of being strategic, innovative, and possess resilient pricing strength to maintain and even grow despite the Fed and government's shenanigans to tamper with the value of currency and stability of the economy.
Anyhow, it's been interesting to watch just how unstable and volatile they've made things. Working class people don't know from day to day whether they'll have enough actual purchasing power to meet this month's or this week's costs of living. It's even much worse trying to calculate whether or not your entire lifetime of savings has been devalued, reduced to just a fraction of what you need for retirement. Hint: They've erased a lot of purchasing power from working class people's plans. Most people don't have enough by a long shot, even if they think they do.
And, I see anxious investors and blathering talking heads talking all sorts of technical analysis, and I'm sure it's all quite smart. If I cared. One that really gets me lately is the talk about bull traps. WTF is a bull trap. I know what they think it is, but it had me realizing, meh, a trap is something you fall into, you get caught by, BUT even if by their definition something does prove to be a trap, it is still not a trap if you're not trying to escape it.
Anyhow, do what you want. It's all a game. Trade in, trade out, try to dodge the Fed's assault, and maybe just maybe come out ahead. Or, just let it ride, stay the course, and eventually things will simmer the fuck down. Either way, Good luck!
