I am a proponent of "buying the dip" too, but the only problem is, when is it done dipping? How much do you put in when it dips? When it dips more, do you have more money to buy or did you use it all the last dip?
Is this the dip or did is just begin? Dips are only easy to see when you look back and it's too late. Buying now would be smart if we bounce back to dow 20,000, but stupid if we "dip" back to dow 10,000. Problem is, no one really knows. Your best bet is to keep consistently buying and maybe double your rate when it drops 10%. You need some principals or you'll just be guessing. You think in 2009 when it dropped to 10,000 people thought that was the dip? Oh wait, it went to 6500. |

Love the quote from Deutsche bank this morning:
"The fragility of this artificially manipulated financial system was exposed over the last couple of days of last week. It all ended with the S&P 500 falling -3.19% on Friday - its worst day since November 9th 2011. * * * We've long felt that the only thing preventing another financial crisis has been extraordinary central bank liquidity and general interventions from the global authorities which we still expect to continue for a long while yet. So when policy changes, risks arise. The genesis of this recent sell-off has been the threat of the Fed raising rates next month, but China's confrontational move two weeks ago and the subsequent knock-on through EM have accelerated us towards something more serious. We always thought something would get in the way of the Fed raising rates in September and we're perhaps seeing this now. With 24 days to go until we find out, the probability of a hike has gone down to 34% from a 54% recent peak on August 9th. Having said we always thought something would come along to derail a Fed rate hike we probably should have gone underweight credit. However with trading liquidity poor and with a reasonably high desire to be long amongst investors there has to be a big move to justify the change in stance. Also with a strong possibility that the Fed will relent and that China could add more stimulus soon, there may be a small window to be short European credit. So at the moment this could be a dangerous time to sell. However if it wasn't for expected intervention and extraordinary central bank policy we would be very bearish as the global financial system remains an artificial construct reliant on the largesse of the authorities." Go Fed plunge protection team!! BUY LEMMINGS BUY!!!! |

No offense, but your statement is like: "I think THIS will happen, but THIS might not happen. THAT may happen, if OTHER happens." Economics and finance is not same as practicing medicine. Gotta predict the timing. I assume you don't play with options? Timing will be greatly appreciated. Giving a price target at "0-Infinity" is easy. However, giving SPECIFIC price target respect to SPECIFIC timeline within 4-9 trading day var would be much harder. |
