And the "big money" in the market does not know this?

Today wasn't so bad....
Sure, just a normal fund hit day, but not super bad...Z, where did you get whacked?

haha......I got wacked left and right.....LU, MOBL, VIGN!
BTW, MOBL was my big loser today. Even a fraction of a cent can lose you a couple hundred $$$. I own more than 12k shares.
I'm in no way freaked out. I do wish LU would climb back to its January levels!

It depends whose "big money" you are talking about. I look to hold for at least 3 months and don't worry about who will be up or down tomorrow. A lot of large investors have a very short time horizon. Guys like Soros churn their money constantly trying to hit/create a trend.
I'm a nickle and dime churner and agree with Keith.
I can say after 27 years of investing: The big guys may be rich, but they aren't always right!
If a company is a bargain, who cares what the big guys think right now??? They'll be back when Intel turns the corner, don't we hope!

The "big money" I am talking about is the institutional investor. This is the guy with research teams gathering data, talks with the CEO, etc.
These are the guys setting the market price of all but the smallest companies.
The last I saw maybe 75% to 80% of the $$ on the NYSE were controlled by institutional investors. Insurance Companies, Mutual Funds (401K $$), and Pension Funds to mention a few.
I can think a company is undervalued and buy the stock. Until the "big guys" think it is undervalued the stock price is going nowhere.

Amkeer the charts are good, but not always right.
Sure huge buys move the market. Is this a secret or anything? Is it a secret,too that many BIG mutual funds seem to have run out of "decent" companies to buy, but when you look at their holdings they have some real stinkers?
Big does not equal smart and nimble. If we all got afraid of the market because of the big guys....that's just a bit silly.

The charts are right its just the interpretation of what you see that makes it right or wrong. Its actually pretty simple and clear once you have extensive experience with them and have tested and backtested your system. The technicals do change on a news related or other situation and temporarily screw up formations.
I see these setups develope depending on whether its a buy or sell signals. Immediately the the orders surge and you can sense the market maker is busy adjusting bid and ask to accomidate the influx of orders. If I am to go long I will place my limit order at the bid or just below. This is in conjunction with futures setups.

Amkeer - I'm not disagreeing with you, but I said "always"......my main problem with charts is time. OTOH if I stopped my research and BiTOG loafing I would have time for charts and time to work out....
sales rep - good idea, sometimes I do that when I'm traveling. Or I just don't get greedy
and place a sales order 5 or 10 above....and when I get back the stock sold. Or not.
I don't even like logging into my brokerage account from China (I wonder why???
) so predetermined commands are good!

Since Wulimaster alerted me to the peak oil issue last October, I have been following up on a few fronts.
Take a look at Vanguard Energy Fund and its performance during the last 18 months.....

I've done OK in the energy sector....it should be part of every balanced portfolio. My Fidelity Select Natural Gas Fund is da bomb.......
Today was good. Intel down a little. No biggie.
