Its been a long hard year of tough gains in the markets. A year definitely NOT a place for the weak of hart or risk averse investor. While gains can and were made by me throughout this past year, there has been little time to hesitate or think twice. You had to be faster on the trigger than I was able to post or alert. The idea of this entity is to help new investors succeed... Unfortunately between Bernanke and Obama, it seemed the two for a very long stretch, were literally tag team wrestling to make the Markets falter. Their timing on bringing bad news seemed uncannily timed with each time the market began to gain traction and head up. One or the other would appear and make some form of a negative remark which would put the market into a short tailspin. However after a day or two it would attempt to recover until the other followed up with another remark which delivered a death blow and sent it into a full on tail spin. Every single negative thing this Administration does, negatively affects the markets. And Lord knows there is NO shortage of negativity in their bottomless bag of tricks. The Markets are difficult to navigate on their own let alone getting blasted out of the blue with unexpected hijinks such as that. And That my friends, make the markets a very formidable place for even seasoned investors. Many of which basically left the markets and when the seasoned leave the markets become unstable which makes them an MMs [Market Makers] dream come true. MMs have the power through automated systems to massively short any thriving stock and push it down... They make money as the stock begins to tumble... And believe me, shorting a few million shares will begin to make a stock tumble. Seasoned investors know the trick and hold firm because someone is going to lose and they know, if they sell it will be them. If the seasoned investors dont sell then the MMs will lose... However, with the seasoned investors out... This leaves novice and foreign investment in; both of whom are skittish participants. As soon as the MMs blitz a stock... everyone begins to bail in a panic and the stock plummets to rock bottom levels and the MMs make money only dreams are made of. And though there are no Shorting Police patrolling on the lookout for violators... The rules state, shorters have three days to cover. That said, once they hit rock bottom they reverse and cover with all their gains... The stock takes a huge jump, all the bailers who lost mass amounts of money because they panic sold see it go up one gigantic leap in a single day, and guess what, they jump back in hoping to regain some of their losses. They then push the stock back up to prior levels and again the MMs gain the huge spread and when they decide they are bloated enough, like a fat tick, they pull out and guess who loses again.... YOU! Often times they will take ALL their newly gained wealth and hit it again with a short because they make literally Millions watching you all bail like rats from the sinking ship. In the purest sense... Those are the reasons I stopped DKH. Im not here to watch you lose, Im here to help you win. The companies like DKH, and there are two others out there, have continued to operate. But they are making money from fees and really dont care what happens to newbies so kudos to them... I gave them my market share, but I really dont need to make money from other peoples losses. The market seems to be stabilizing so well see how it goes. Currently I would STILL stay clear of the cheaper stocks no matter the Market CAP... They are still too unstable... So for now, well get our feet wet again somewhat but we need to do so with higher priced securities for now.
