Interesting posts today here guys.

But let's try not to overlook the bald fact that we are operating in a real market, driven by fear, greed, sentiment, and not warm and fuzzy inner glows.

Fundamentals will mean a lot after all these other factors are in check. Fundamentals assure a stock's long-term survival in the market jungle.

A weak, hungry lion(beleagurered investor) is more apt to make a meal of a sick, fragile deer (banks, financials) rather than expend energies tackling a wilderbeest (BHP).

BHP SP is dropping, has been since the May top, and you either sit it out watiting for the inevidable rebound, or trade it.

If you don't trade it, then put it away in the bottom draw and have a look at it when the storm blows over.

But don't blame shorters, manipulators etc ---- it's a jungle out there. That's the stock market, and if you don't understand that, you get hurt.

Unfair? Yes. Fact? yes.
