Normally, the generic catch-phrase regarding a recession is, "there's nothing like a good war to make the stock market rally." Is there some similarity to natural disasters? The fact that the storm hit the northeast where a lot of money managers live may increase the "nearness" of this effect (as opposed to "out of sight, out of mind").<br /><br />So, after saying that...i'm not touching stocks. In general, like most traders i know, i'm long term bearish on the US (global) economy until the deleveraging process is over, but trading US Treasuries is just so much easier, why give yourself heartburn if you don't have to?<br /><br />That said, if you have some genius technical model to trade stocks with..go at it. I'm more comfortable trading stocks only when the stars align and the trade makes perfect sense to me. That does not describe how i feel when i think about selling stocks here....so...i'm staying away.anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04825036520441611963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096498495092625212.post-69902978619136123462012-11-01T17:01:15.553-04:002012-11-01T17:01:15.553-04:00govt great work.... would you say getting short a...govt great work.... would you say getting short at 1421 on the ES would be advisable?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
