What, if anything, are people buying today in this 2 day selloff?, page-207

09:56 is not a good time to re-commence a complex discussion (tho it can and has been explained very easily). Markets open at 10, and there is also a Pre Market Auction.

Sorry.
I'll remember for future reference.

It's just that because I very seldom buy or sell shares - maybe a few times a quarter, maximum - 09:56 is not an important time of day for me. I certainly do not find myself to ever be in a position of being beholden to Pre Market Auctions.

But I respect that you might because you have a different style to mine.


"The US is not healthy, based on pretty much all Econ Releases, which I - at considerable personal cost - "break" every night around 12:30, and subsequently , as recently as last night. A thankless task."

Sounds hectic.
Not sure why you do it, then.


"The put was originally called the Greenspan Put, now expanded to Greenspan-Bernanke-Yellen Put. I've seen this in operation since the late nineties (at latest), if not before. It's moral hazard, and it's not a good thing."

Sure. Agree. But it is what it is, and I'm not sure what good stressing about it does.
Because any middle-aged investor like myself could have been stressing about it my entire investing life (which is now encroaching two and a half decades), and it would all have been to little avail.
