It is a loser's gain to get caught up on a one day gain when for the week you are down. Example S&P 500 down 1.63% two days ago and get all giggly like when the next day it is UP .59% -you arestill down over 1%. At least in my dubious mind.
Loser's gain - LOST profits, while thinking you are getting ahead.
Even in a downward trend there will be (so called) up days.

Interesting. I would not consider that a rally. A rally to meis when you surpass where you were before. Missing where you were before is called a lower low also called a downward trend.Deadcats bounce but leopards don't change their spots.

If one anticipates that such a day will occur, and is correct, one may profit from this occurrence.
Your statement of a "downward trend" is IMHOrather vague and of little value. One couldargue that there will be up days within downward trends within long term bull markets. Based upon that equally vague statement, what is one to do? Some will trade every minute. Others will trade once a decade. We all attempt to profit from the trends that we anticipate, in the manner in whichwe view them.
Of course, for some of us, it's a permabear's world after all..

Can someone explain to my simple mind how the EAFE is up at close yesterday but the I fund drops almost 1%? I know they arn't always the same but that seems like quiet a difference. Is there some better indicator of I that I can watch?
EDIT: Nevermind found this http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/forum14/93.htmlWhich I guess explains why thing somewhat.

400% since the beginning of January??? You should enter a contest:
http://www.worldcupadvisor.com/
You'd blast away the competition with that kind of return. Then, with all the press you'd get, you could make more money managing accounts, writing newsletters, conducting seminars, etc. then you'd know what to do with...
Up for the challenge?
Or at the least, go to www.elitetrader.com and start announcing your tradesreal time in a journal. Lots of vendors and big names there--you'd get noticed quickly with those results.
Just one question...where's the Commundites Futures Exchange? I don't think it's in Chicago...

You buy futures contracts as far out as you can and do not get greedy and sell them. I started with $3000 and have a little over $11,500 now since I started in early January. I am did not mean to brag but all the basic resource metals are doing well.

This was something I wanted to try with $3,000 of my ROTH money. I should not of brought it up. Sorry I got excited. I took a pretty good hit today. The basic metals such as; cooper, zinc, nickle, steel etc are working for me. I know there is strong demand for these materials worldwide. A couple days ago China came in and bought a bunch up and my return went to 465%. I should of sold then but got greedy and took over a $1,800 hit today. So I just sold them all and locked in the gain. Now I will like my wounds and do another contract next week after I have time to recover.
Does Saharo attack everyone? Geez.

Every post I have made it seems that way.
Seems like this is a board to share ideas not force your ideas on others and they do not agree to belittle them.
I will just avoid in the future (options - ha ha).
I don't even know the terms and I was in there buying contracts.
Was a good run while it lasted.
