The Lounge

This is a new thread where everybody of the 'live trading group' is free to post links to interesting articles, comments, newsfeeds, charts, videos,... as long as it isn't offensive according and it has some revelance to the stock market or trading in general. You may also copy & paste texts here in your posts, if you're sure you are not violating any copyrights.

For the record, the posts I make do not necessarily reflect my opinion or thoughts on the matter.

Some statistics

Interesting to note that almost all of the biggest gain days ever took place in what people called "a bear market":

Interesting, I don't have any graphs but even in FX where there is technically no such thing as 'bulls and bears', shorting is much more profitable. It just moves so much easier.
