This Market – and my Mind – Wanders

Wynn’s Casino and a Few Thoughts about a Big Market Pullback

April 30th, 2009 · No Comments · Stock Trading

I’m worried. I admit I’m also a trifle paranoid too, because this market has been soaring too fast, too far, for my comfort. Anybody with any memory of market behavior knows this kind of non-stop, money-making, free-for-all can’t last forever. Just ask anybody who was trading, especially tech stocks, circa 2000.
