So I have been a longtime investor and I find the past two years to be rather fascinating and mildly frustrating and sometimes exciting.
When there is a war – bulls vs bears you never know how the market reacts. I have seen companies that have beat on revenue and EPS yet get pummeled the very next day. While in other cases companies that are losing money go exponential.
I find that the markets respond negatively on bad news that more that likely will appear as bounce later on because the stock market has a short term memory.
I also feel that the shorting mentality will keep coming after every significant gain until short fails over and over – example NVDA.
Then there is the stories that go as follows – it was discovered that there were fewer dinosaurs ten million years ago and as a result the crude that is available may not be as plentiful as expected. Result crude prices go up. People still drive and want their vacations driving demand and jet fuel cost rise impacting profits airline stocks drop, oil company stocks rise and then the new story is correct and it is determined that new was incorrect and the inverse happens. If the markets reacted to reality instead of a news blip then the makers would be more consistent rather panic buying or selling.
That are so many other aspect that make the stock market impossible sometime!
