Stock Market Intraday Chat: Mar 5th - 9th - Page 4

“The target is one thing, the real growth rate is another. I am projecting 8.6 percent real GDP growth for this year,” Shen Jianguang, Chief Asia-Pacific Economist with Mizuho Securities told CNBC on Monday.

From 2004 onwards China has had a growth target of 7-8 percent, but the average real growth rate has been 10 percent, Shen said. In 2011, China grew 9.2 percent, surpassing the official target of 8 percent.

ya.. oh well.. guess big money wins everything. all i know is ppl are getting let go left & right where i work but we still makin 52 week highs from "positive economic data" e.g. cmg, azo, pcln, etc... kinda pisses me off.

 

Retail sales here in Taipei where I am at are pretty bad as well and they were usually never this bad.Most retail shops here in Taipei are either empty or have people inside just window shopping. No one is really spending any money these days. Only thing people are buying is an iPhone lol..

Yeah don't know what the capabilities of the forum template are, but a small weekly & monthly poll on the right side on the area where the tags, recent reviews, etc. are located could be interesting.

Don't know how it is in Asia after the holidays. I know here where I live after Christmas shopping, which is a pretty big event, people cut back on the crazy spending. I think February is one of the slowest months so they put out a lot of rebates, probably the best time to buy for people who could hold out from Christmas.
 

 

ya ive suggested this before, and even 2 weeks ago i think, but apparently people dont notice/care.. or there are inherit issues behind that as perception change so fast in this thread.

 

Also could be there are other polls floating around which are similar.
 

 

 

lol, maybe we could also add in an hourly sentiment poll.

 

-16 lol.. Here we are almost green again  They just won't let it drop. They want more people to be buying so that they can sell but from what we have been seeing these days is that there are no big moves up so this means that the big boys are not buying these days and the little guys are not really buying either. With the ups and downs it is mostly day traders trading up and down these days. Takes one big firm to pull the plug and down we go. One firm to buy and up we go. Not much resistance either way the way I see it.

lol how about per tick,just get it over with..

I dunno better to let sleeping dogs lie, than to have one i think and could get confusing..

but would be nice to have it linked to the persons name, so you can see how they voted, and cant switch lol.

then again that wouldnt be anonymous then.

 

see the question inst so simple  :)

I think if a poll is added, could be something like "what do you think the jobs number will be" things going on in the market rather than are you bearish bullish.

Any of you guys can start a new thread and make it a poll. Tie the title in with this intrady thread or whatever else you wish to name it.

looks like those MA calls i have are going to start the day off with a bang.

 

They can't just "pull the plug".  Their positions are too sizable.  It's not like us when we want to bail on a bad trade with a market order.
 

 

$IBM only thing saving me today

Silver looking somewhat weak, looking like it will break before it will pop, but still holding small SLV position for now

Wild ride is going on in SHLD. It is being manipulated like a penny stock, one should not trust any TA on this one. They can easily fake it to look like it is dropping to attract short sellers and then bid it up. I exited puts when it was at 67 and not gonna play it again for time being.

AMZN showing strength here. Up over 1% while AAPL is up barely 0.2%.
