Market comment:
The US equities are under pressure from a continued weak jobs market and EU and US debt issues. The continued financial instability has dealt a blow to hopes of major future growth. These issues continue to cause volatility in the markets. The week was volatile ending the week flat on mixed Euro news and mixed US economic news.
Basic trading guidelines to help in your research:
Basic buying times: After buyers hype from 9:30 to 10:30 am EST (avoid Bull Trap). Some times it is best to pause (take a deep breath) before placing a buy order to avoid getting hurt by a spike up then sharp downturn. After a morning sell off the stocks generally bounce up between 11:00 and 12:30 am EST. In the morning asap if the overseas markets are trending up on good news. Make a note of sector news – bad news can drag every stock in the sector down creating buying opportunities. Watch for up trends and volume spikes in the afternoon – up trends will generally carry thru to the morning of the next day.
Basic selling times: Between market open and 9:45 am EST on buyers hype. As soon as the markets open when there is bad news in the overseas markets and those indexes move down. Make a note of sector news – good news in a sector is a great time to sell a stock that rose on sector news. Watch for for drops in the market prior to close on an up trend day after 2:00 pm EST. Watch for down trends and volume spikes in the afternoon. Down trends will generally carry thru to the morning of the next day.
Warning: Inexperienced traders will be less likely to lose on a trade due to volatility if they avois trading in the morning or the afternoon. The middle of the day around 12:00 to 1:00 pm EST is the most stable time for prices. Check the risk rating of your stock. Be careful of volatile multiple price dips and rises – don’t wait to get caught by the big drop.
