Volatility, emotions (fear & greed)
To understand the recent volatility in our markets you only have to read a few of [USER=2975]@ducati916[/USER] recent posts as to how sentiment drives the markets in general.

Volatility
It doesn’t matter what system you are trading - the best way to handle volatility is to just accept it. Periods of high volatility will always come and go, always has and always will! - Don't jump at shadows - just roll with it

Let's be clear
At the company level, nothing & I mean "nothing" has changed this past week but the share price reflects differently. Volatility drives our emotions (fear & greed) & as trend traders we live & die by it. Market swings are part of the game, sometimes intentionally & other times not so much. For us it's the same game, we hop on "enthusiasm" when the prices are going up & ride it like a bucking bronco. The ride is over when our strategy throws us off the trade. We get back up, dust ourselves off & start over again waiting for the next ride. Trend trading is a rise & repeat game taking advantages of large numbers.
