Ao minuto: Trump concorda com cessar fogo de duas semanas proposto pelo Paquistão

[afonsinho]

Ás vejo-o na CNBC Europe, e o homem é uma personagem. Uma pessoa até tem medo de o levar a sério, mas ele sabe o diz e o que faz. Sem duvida nenhuma uma opinião que deve ser sempre levada em atenção.

boas, duas questões relacionadas com a analise do cramer :
é evidente que nas ultimas semanas se obtiveram ganhos relativamente faceis na bolsa mas não nos pudemos esquecer no contexto em que eles aparecem : De facto apos uma serie de meses em que os mercados andaram sustentados houve que uma especie de varridela de tapete aos pequenos investidores em Fevereiro que os retraiu e os levou a sair temporariamente do mercado; como interpretar este movimento :
pode ser interpretado de duas formas ou uma finta do mercado para retomar a sua subida sustentada já sem uma serie de players ou então uma mudança para um estilo de mercado mais tortuoso - mais volatil - penso que a conclusão que fiz acima sobre o estado dos mercados consensual ! o que não é de todo consensual é o que os mercados irão fazer nos proximos tempos aliás se houvesse consenso ele seria rapidamente desfeito pelo mercado. E então que tal formular uma hipotesse em linha com a pura teoria do jogos : o mercado seguirá nos proximos tempos o caminho que a maioria dos players rejeitar uma vez que nada economicamente forte aconteceu para influencia-lo de forma determinante. Se a maioria dos players acreditar que o mercado continuará volatil não entrará o que fará com que sem grandes custos os mercados mantenham a subida sustentada que interromperam em Fevereiro; se a maioria dos players acreditarem que aconteça esta segunda hipotesse vão entrarem provocando um efeito parecido como um peso na balança que fará oscilar os mercados para a volatilidade interessante esta teoria. Os mercados no futuro onde exista muita gente e com elevado grau de conhecimento podem funcionar um pouco assim, talvez no entanto ainda não seja bem assim no presente.

"Propaganda Wins, Small Investors Lose"

"After a big run in the market, why stay optimistic? Why not think it can't continue? I believe it's because the retail investor's still not in the market yet. That's right, just look at what Ameritrade (AMTD - commentary - Cramer's Take - Rating) said yesterday on its call: a dramatic decrease in trading and interest on the part of retail clients.

Plus, when you read the problems with KeyCorp (KEY - commentary - Cramer's Take - Rating), you will see a remarkable surge in buying of certificates of deposit earlier this year.

Knight (NITE - commentary - Cramer's Take - Rating), another retail outfit, just confirmed this trend with a report that came out this morning.

With high short-term rates, you have always had the allure that keeps trillions out of the market.

But there's something more important going on, something that I feel is so awful, so wrong, but so typical of what's going on in this market: the China fall.

It's pretty obvious from the decline in Ameritrade's business that the selloff in late February just killed the retail investor's appetite. There was so much panic, so much horror, so much of what I call the "alleged prudence" by the media and tepid analysts and aggressive bears, that it worked! It freaked people out. It got them out at the bottom.

Now, is that what we really want? I don't even know anymore. I know that when I went on the Today show recently and recommended buying Exxon (XOM - commentary - Cramer's Take - Rating), AT&T (T - commentary - Cramer's Take - Rating), Procter & Gamble (PG - commentary - Cramer's Take - Rating) and Coke (KO - commentary - Cramer's Take - Rating), I felt like the tireless hack, the guy who had been labeled a "permabull." I felt I had zero impact.

I did!

What was really egregious about this selloff, what got so many people scared and so many retail investors frightened away, was the equipment breakdown in the NYSE (NYX - commentary - Cramer's Take - Rating)!

I am not kidding. The fact that the market couldn't handle the orders that happened between 2:30 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. ET that day caused the market to drop 300 points in just a few minutes. That showed the fragility of the system, not the fragility of the companies -- but it was enough.


As I droned on about history, that the market was at 1200 when I started but was now at 12,000 and that should count for something, I was overwhelmed by the people who talked about how the run was over. The papers were filled with that claptrap. The bears were trotted out on TV and, more important, a bunch of bulls who had turned bearish emerged.

I simply can't blame retail for running to CDs.

There's a heavy responsibility, I believe, on the part of commentators, analysts, reporters and hosts to be balanced, to show that a selloff could be an opportunity, not the end. There's a responsibility to say that perhaps the time to sell was before the downturn, not after it. There was a responsibility to reveal what many of us insiders knew: that the equipment caused the selloff.

But no one would reveal that, even as it was fed by specialists who were anxious to show that the desire by the NYSE to eliminate humans was behind the 300 points in a few minutes. I later confirmed it but when I went out with it, I was quickly discredited by a cover-up story that it was Dow Jones' (DJ - commentary - Cramer's Take - Rating) fault! Hysterical; that was simply impossible, as the prices of individual stocks are not affected by the Dow Jones reporting techniques. But the cover-up story stuck.

Now the market's exciting again and I sense that retail investors now will start rolling in as we go higher. But the reality is that the easy money has been made.

I regard the whole exercise as shameful. The bearish propaganda won out, the disinformation worked again. Yet no one is accountable.

What a big joke it all is. "
