it seems too reactionary
perhaps because the trading can happen so fast.

Or perhaps because it's all run by cunts of the highest order
who actually don't know what they are doing.

*awaits mighty badger to tell me that I'm wrong*

Probably for the same reason you've always decided that you should stick your oar in
to explain why everyone else is wrong and you are right.

You probably are having a bad day.
But if anyone tried to tell tell you that, you'd just explain that you were in fact having a great day, and then list the reasons.

no chance
you'll have to do better than toddler pschology to get a rise out of me, even in this state. 2/10 at best.

You have a point though,
people can make a lot of money by pushing share prices down. A few emails and texts to the right numbers saying "I think France will lose AAA" and by the end of the week you can have made $10-15 million.

They're all trend following, so sell when the price is going down, buy when the price is going up.
It's time and time again seen as the best way to win at the market, it's the only way really without a huge amount of people actually looking at the numbers and the statments from companies, reading share reports and press statments and actually making an educated decision on which companies are worth investing it.

Problem is now all big banks pension funds and hedge funds trend follow, but if there's no one actually doing the slow reasearch needed to obtain a decent idea of what the value of a company is then they've got nothing real to follow. They're following rumours and spikes that have disapeared every day for the last week. They are stupid fucks and any analyst in any bank should be slapping their terrified faces.

Paperclip trading sounds much more cut and thrust than I've previously given you credit for.
