Any kind of signal in current buying or selling behaviour on either the stock or its derivatives that might indicate the price is going to plateau or fall, such as (for example) a change in the market for shorts.. though this seems obvious and I don’t mean to be insulting, so I might be misunderstanding your question? If so please let me know.
If there are no signals which people can use as evidence in their models predicting market direction, what are people buying or selling on? Why would anyone read a quarterly report or have an investment thesis if it’s just a perfectly efficient market of spherical cows on a random walk, and analysis is a fools game as no evidence of where a company might be headed could possibly exist? It’s a very postmodern way of looking at things, I suppose.
Anyway I was just curious if the person had any facts on which they were basing their assessment that they could share. Seems not, which is fine. Opinions are allowed too, but I was curious since they stated it so matter if factly.
