DislikedThanks for the PMs InfinitySL! It wasn't my intent to misconstrue your post or patronize you.
So I'll post my reply here for brevity sake b/c you know what, it doesn't really matter; I say let the economy tank!Ignored
Yes, it was a PM because I don't think this thread is the forum for you (or I for that matter) to spout off our opinions about the economy, the fiscal strength of the USA, the Gold standard, inflation, politics or whatever else your posts cover. As I said in my PM, people come here to read Chris' insights, to post charts, to post trade ideas, and other things that relate to trading w/ price action. In short: People come here to learn the "Silent Service Method" and to get feedback from the man himself and others who follow that method. They don't really come here for your opinion or my opinion.
ForexFactory will allow you to create your own thread where you can write & post whatever your heart's desire is and if people want to subscribe to your musings, they will! The point of me sending you a PM was to not clog up this thread with a sideshow that doesn't advance the discussion.
My understanding of the way Chris trades is that he'll use fundamentals as another confluence to use when trading price action. So for instance today's EXCELLENT US jobs report (290,000 jobs added, only 59,000 of those government, a higher labor participation rate, revisions higher to last months' numbers, almost double the number of manufacturing jobs added vs. expectations, etc) combined with the psuedo-pinbar off of the 50% Fibonacci retracement on the S&P 500 (~1120) would make me more bullish stocks than bearish...
To me, that's a legitimate discussion, however the rest of it (unrelated to a specific trade) should be elsewhere. But that's just me, and others (most importantly Chris) might disagree. If I'm wrong, I'll happily retract this post...
Happy Friday to all!
