These are great LEARNING DAYS ---- because a couple weeks or a month ago -- everyone is bleeding - dying the death of a 1000 cuts... market acting tired and weak.... and that's when "new" people get discouraged and sell... and then BAM! A big ass gain and then they're out and can't get that back.
Remember me telling you to please remember the good times back a few months?!?!?!? That was to give you all courage to hang in there when the days get short and dark and dreary....
Today was a perfect example of why you stick with INVESTING... buying on the darkest dreariest days if have can muster the guts....
In a "normal" market (yeah? What's that mean? I'd like to see one....) your gains are made on very few days in the year.... very few -- like 8 or 10 days out of the entire year! If you're OUT on them and trying to be cute and game the market.... then in the long run you lose.
