According to BI: Naturally, when markets go up or down,
people look for cause and effect. We
went up because of X, or we went down because of Y. The market “liked” this or it did not “like”
that. But in many cases (and I would argue, in most cases), PRICE is the
cause. More transactions occur because
the price changed than because the news changed. We can rationalize and reason and assess all
we want. When we actually push buy or
sell, we care most about PRICE. Because
whatever our reasoning, at the end of the day, month, or year, the only reason
we are successful is because of PRICE.
Not because of the reasoning. Not
because of the news. Not because of Ben
Bernanke, or Mario Draghi, or Shinzo Abe.
Because of PRICE.
That’s why there are successful traders who don’t even pay
attention to the news. They don’t care
about the why of PRICE. They only care
about PRICE. And they react
accordingly….
