To me, market bounce too much in a single day, that left little room for more upside, so downside risk is building. What do you think of my theory?

Hi Up,

It is impossible to predict market these days, it is news driven....

Volume is good today on an UP day, which is good technically speaking..also S&P 500 near high of the day..another good thing...

I suggest booking profit IF you have.....

It is one day @ a time.....

Hey Up,

I do worry more when the market whips up and down a lot. It shows that investors are uncertain and are chasing up and panicking down.

I'm not sure if I'll do anything different here, but it has me concerned as obviously the risk/reward changes after a 200 point up day.

P.S. On GS, I think they are down because their outlook suggests continued lower VAR. This will leave them less leveraged to an improving economic picture as compared to the others. Whether this turns out to be smart or not is another question.
