The stock market is a shopping mall with a lot of money moving around. Trillions of dollars change hands every single day on the Nasdaq, NYSE and TSX. The big gorillas out there are institutional investors primarily mutual funds and pension funds and they drive the trends.
Ask yourself, would a mutual fund manager make a decision to buy or sell stocks in their portfolio based on the above scenarios? If they did, would you pay them for it?
Falling for any of those ideas is naive. They are not reflective on how the stock market works. Don't fall for it. What's your strategy to actually engineer the portfolio like a business?
