    I ' m watching cnbc & bloomberg in the tv

    I wonder how they know the future ? or what they mean
    Are they right always ? for example:

    s&p fut
    5-days =up "green"
    30-days = up "green"
    52-week = up "green"

    Down fut =33 green
    nasdaq fut =4.50 green
    s&p fut = 3.10 green

    euro spot -up "green"

    yen spot 5-days = "red"


    "baby step"
    Iwant to understand what I'm seeing and why ?
    I know green is up but how they know is going up?
    Somebody give me any idea or ashort teaching class ...

    Short teaching class follows:
    Get/see the big picture on the market, i.e., www.stockcharts.com see the gallery view of $SPX (big picture). The big picture comes first, the rest is secondary.

    I have run into the same problem at i.e., www.barchart.com under market information, S&P 500, Technicals, option.

    Some of the information can be a system overload. It's all guidelines and guess work, and information in history,which is good (and worthy of study). But, it does not predict the future. It cansave a mistake,it can guide an action, but it cannot predict a victory.

    Some folks are always coming up with a "system". Maybe yes, maybe no, be informed, make an informed decision,and the rest is up to the market.

    Hey... I'm a beginner too on the same level as you! You gotta start somewhere... making many many wrong moves along the way!

    After today, you deserve your own account.:^
