Slapping Punks

Slapping punks, smacking losers, and knocking out chumps. That’s what the market was all about in October. Not kind to anyone.

Some of the statistics for the month of October as compiled by MarketWatch:
In spite of the big double-digit gain this week, mostly on one-day, the Dow was down 14% for the month, the worst October since 1989.
October had the most down days in a month since 1973, in the 1973-74 bear market.
It was the most volatile month since 1929.
In one 8-day period early in the month the Dow lost 2,396 points.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index lost 30% for the month.
Gold lost 18%, its biggest one-month decline sine 1983.

The fist week of the month is usually the strongest part of the investing cycle. My recommendation is to buy QLD at $35 on Monday morning and watch it run up to $45 later in the week at sell for a quick 28% profit.
