AMEX:VTI   Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF
“There is a battle of two wolves inside us all. One is evil: it is anger, envy, greed, arrogance, jealousy, resentment, lies. The other is good: it is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, truth. The wolf that wins? The one you feed. —Cherokee proverb”

VTI total US stock market etf with SMA200 mega trend channel (SMA200 is center green), SMA50 bull/bear trendline, 50 day H&L pivot price print & tickerTracker MFI oscillator set to 50 with VTI, SPY, QQQ, IWM & DIA. March 23rd, 2020, was the bottom of the Covid market drop. There will be a bottom and a bullish reversal at some point. Within the next 24hrs-3 days this is a screaming buy for investors.

Hello dear traders. It's bittersweet profiting on short trades under these circumstances. Meaning I thought hedging with puts was smart since the beginning January downtrend. But now since Feb 17th profiting on puts because of wacko Vlad attacking the good Ukranian people just doesn't sit well with me. It feels off, kind of unethical. If you want to short something short oil people or at least trim your position and find profit elsewhere. I think it'd be fantastic if traders & investors flip the script and go long soon any day now steady uptrend till at least 3/16 FOMC. lol.

Showing solidarity and bravery against this geopolitical crap. Everyone's chicken out there trading out of fear. I know that I have to listen to the market and trade accordingly for precision to consistently profit. But I'm over it personally by feelings I'm saying. Anyways, not to write a philosophical decertation. But for example, everyone piling into oil driving the price up exponentially is stupid for society, yet a smart easy profitable trade. What are your thoughts about this juxtaposition of trading for obvious profit in conflict with what's good social behavior?

It's really the Wallstreet fat cats, Hedge funds, Institutional investors & Fund managers who are pushing the market movements. We retail traders just have to react and trade accordingly for profit. It sure would be great to see a bullish reversal within the next few days. I'll be paying close attention as always and trade on technicals when fundamentals are not in play, yet reluctantly short anything except oil, RSX & RUB anymore. I'm calling on Wallstreet, Hedge funds, Institutional investors and Fund managers to change course ASAP.
