    This is the sort of thing that makes me second guess "my strategy," but those gaps!!!

    30 million people out of work later, and the Nasdaq 100 (NDX, large cap tech) just hit the February highs. How does that make sense? Are people still buying iphones and PC's with their unemployment money? Double top or breakout?

    The Nasdaq Composite isn't quite there yet.

    I don't try to make sense of it anymore. Now I'm just under the assumption it will always be a bull market, because the Fed will always step in at any sign of weakness.

    Yeah, but some point that will no longer work as inflation will eat us all alive. Countries in South America have demonstrated this many times over in my lifetime at least.

    Here's a question I've had on my mind the last few days as I've been trying to reconcile having got out of the market after the first big (well, 2-3 %) pop after the bottom and having missed the entire rally since. I can't help but suspect the market is being manipulated by big money for political reasons. There's no doubt the markets had done really well under the Trump administration, so there's an incentive to help create a positive economic environment to enhance the chance of a second term. Or maybe big money is just pumping the market to seduce others to do the same in the hopes of getting back to the highs and rallying beyond.

    So my question: how or what source(s) can I go to identify the share of equity purchases that is a result of big money investors (banks, financial institutions, corporations)? Is there a way to get a clear sense of this?

    I've been sitting on the sideline largely because I don't trust this market but dearly want to start recovering some of my (and my wife's) retirement losses. But I'm afraid of losing even more at this point. I got out because we had hit a loss level that we set as the threshold at which our retirement plans would be financially at risk -- not catastrophic but certainly affecting perhaps some of the discretionary goals we had.

    Can anyone help me with this? Also, is there a source for info on corporate buy-backs? Frankly, I don't want to follow big money as I don't fully trust it's concern for small investors.

    I don't think there's a lot of corporate buy backs going on now because of the PPP, but this was posted a few days ago showing insider buying...

    Thanks Tom. I'll have to read up on insider trading measures and how they relate to current market action/trend.

    Brings new meaning to 'the house always wins'.

    My wife bought MGM and Delta Airlines a month or so ago. Every time they went up I recommended to her to take the money and run. Did she listen? Thankfully, no.
