It's the markets. The Fed has rattled the troops.
It was up substantially intrasession, but Uncle Ben did his thing and you know the rest.
You would have to have a background in statistics and math to grasp what I am saying. Sorry about that.
Whenever utilizing a so-called technical approach, extraneous variable(s) can come into play which impact an outcome(s). This is more of an issue pertaining to validity, rather than reliability.
What is your semantical interpretation of "unreliable" in relation to stock trading? What constitutes "overbought" in your opinion, as opposed to "underbought"?

I don't have a single mREIT at this time. I'm reluctant to jump in, due to what has occurred. However, WMC does look somewhat inviting to me. That having been said, I'm still inclined to wait a bit longer.
WMC has pulled back over 8% thus far today with over three million shares having traded.
I'd say that there is a very good chance that you are correct.

From May 1, 2012 to August 31, 2012, DIS advanced from the 43's to the 49's.
DIS has been advancing nicely. The company has a lot of things going well for it right now. S&P just raised it target price on the stock. Although, some may view it as too pricey right now.
I'm sorry to hear that. I wish you the very best of luck.
Already it is up almost 1% as the DJ-30 and S&P 500 are only slightly better than flat.
