I think the most important indicators to watch are what the talking heads are saying and the direction the general market is going and then..... to go the opposite way. One rule will always make sense...."buy low....... sell high" Look at where prices are right now in the general market and determine which direction you need to go.

Everyone has their beliefs and more importantly....wants. We tend to move based on these. The trick is for these to be aligned with what is actually happening.

The point that markets and stocks are being manipulated is fact. One needs to consider the reality of that and to act on it. We can speak of it from a position of moral superiority but that won't improve our lot if we don't learn to appropriately respond to it. Each of us has to decide what that means.
