Stocks today are very different from stocks of the hard money period, now it's so heavily influenced by sentiment and money printing, trying to short, fight the fed is a tough game to play. If you're in emerging market stocks perhaps you still get that old feel of fundamentals still playing a role but stocks are still a tough play not really my ball game.
I just look for good dividend stocks, IM not trying to buy low and sell high I just want access to their cash flow at a discount rate.
