I made this reply just now to a comment a few posts ago, but thought I should make it into a full fledged post to make it more visible. In the physical world, there are real particles & a sea of virtual particles. Similarly, in the markets there are "real" buyers and a sea of "virtual" buyers.
A "real" buyer is a buyer who is neither (a) covering a short, nor (b) a flipper/slut beefer trading/computer trading fund which intends to flip the stock within minutes/days. The contraposition to a "real" buyer is a "virtual" buyer which is one of items a and b aforementioned. I've borrowed the particle physics terms: a real particle has staying power and can exist forever, while a virtual particle is quickly destroyed by its anti-particle and has a very short lifetime. A virtual buy is soon eliminated with an offsetting sell.
It's important to try to interpret market moves as those due to real buyers from those of virtual buyers. Otherwise you'll be chewed up & spat out by the beefers like so much cud.
PS: by the way, there are also real sellers and virtual sellers. The action since about 10AM looks like some real sellers. Still waiting to buy here.
PPS: imho, this is why Bill O'Neill requires a follow-thru day to be no earlier than Day 4. He wants to get rid of the effects of the virtual buyers. The time delay does that.

its doubtful bud can understand that. u need to dumb it down for him. :-)
lolol. Did you check my last couple replies to him [a few posts ago]? I thought an example might help. ;-)
Of course there is no way I will understand that. It's illogical and makes no sense. Both of you need to spend a some time in an institution where doctors and academics can study your brains.
P.S. So am I real or fake or virtual?
lmao. Well, Bud, I think I remember you saying you rarely hold a stock more than 3 days. So you are mostly "virtual" :-)
LOL LOL
bud and i r not virtual. we r just "sluts". just like those small fish that follow the sharks along and eat the scraps.
COF and BSC have my permission to take a nap into the close

Mern, I think "ho-ho-ho" fits better than lolol for supersluts. Hehe. ;-)
Everyone involved in the shooting knew almost immediately that her son had been shot three times in the head by his own troops, she said.
Yet, at the memorial service for her son in May 2004, the military said Pat Tillman had been killed by enemy fire, she said.
"That was not a misstep, that was not an error," she said. "This was an attempt to dupe the public and to promote this war and to get recruitments up, and that is immoral."
Mary Tillman called for a congressional hearing "to have it all aired out."
She added, "I really don't know what happened. We've been told so many different things."
i saw how he died on the military channel and they knew instantly that it was friendly fire.
one of the more diabolical things bush has pulled. but its pretty obvious by now, bush is off the wagon. probably drinking a 5th a nite and back to doing cocaine. this guy is in so way over his head its amazing. i dont care what anyone says bush is DUMB, and not honest.
then there is Iran. im still going with my plan called "the 84 colts bolt plan" move our troops and the israel to new orleans overnite, and then make a lot of glass over there
Ashes and glass baby, one of my favorite songs
The Tillman saga is a sad story all around.
Agree re Lyndon, he's a disaster.
I need to do penance for supporting him & not McCain in 2000. :-(
