For me, I would rather not participate in such a circus. It no longer feels like we, the people, have much of a say or at the very least, that no one really listens. The now common greeting mimicked from the Budweiser commercial can be belched in awe of the stock market of current and the last decade. This market has broken all preconceived boundaries and left everyone guessing. No longer do traditional rules of economics or historical analysis ring true.
Information technologies ARE definitely the wave of the future.
As we all now, the reason the market, any market, rises or falls is because of demand and there is a direct relationship between the two. Therefore, if the market falls, then there has been a sell off, and nothing has changed but investor confidence- which maybe the largest catalyst in the market. The market is a puppet ad the investors its master. You will here analysts constantly warning of speculative bubbles. This is a situation in which the price of stocks seem to unprecedented.
