Good about a company, or about another company in the same sector if the sector is a hot one, can trigger sharp rises in stock prices. The key to taking advantage of price runs started by is to get in early, before everyone else has. Obviously, if you`re the last one in, you`ll buy at the highest price and then watch the stock price go down.
Likewise, bad can send a stock`s price plummeting. And, like everything else market trends, are not whether the is really good or bad, but what the market perceives it to be. You might not think the market trend`s reaction to a piece of makes any sense, but should not affect your trading. Always go with the market. Remember, overrides all other trends.
Let`s say you`re holding a company heading into its upcoming split. The stock options is in a hot sector, and it`s a one to four split. The stock options is rising nicely, and the ex date is three days away. The next morning, you see unexpected that business in the company`s sector has dropped off sharply in the last quarter and that this slowdown is projected to continue for at least the next six months. What`s going to happen to the split run? This will take precedence over the split trend.
Unless the market trends decide it doesn`t care about this news, which is not likely, the company`s run is over. You will have to get out of the stock options. When important comes out, all successful traders abandon trades based on other trends. Unexpected is one of the main reasons why you

must set stops on every trade to protect your capital. In the same way, if you`ve sold short to ride a trend in which stocks usually go down, significant good about the stock options should send it back up.
Now that we`re on the subject of news, let`s look at a related trend: sympathy plays. When a stock options in a hot sector has good and begins to move up, the stocks of the other companies in the same sector will often start to run up as well in sympathy with the original mover. Likewise, when a stock options has bad and begins to fall, others in the sector will often start to trend down as well. It may seem strange, but there is a reason for the market trends to act that way.
You would think that good for one company would be bad for its competitors and would logically drive their prices down instead of up. This isn`t how the market trends work. As long as the reflects well on the prospects of the industry or business the making company is in, it will generate a sense of possibility in the minds of market trends` traders. If one company in the sector is doing well, it`s possible that demand for the whole sector`s business is growing or that the whole sector will develop its products or market trends so that all the companies in the sector will do well. It`s possible, isn`t it? The sector now has `potential.` And that`s all the market trends needs to hear.
A great way to evaluate sympathy plays is to look at all the stocks in the sector to see whether others have started running with the newsmaker. If so, look for stocks that haven`t moved as much, for stocks that should also start running but haven`t yet. By buying slower movers, you`ll get in at a good price and the stock options will have most of its run left. But make sure there`s no other factor keeping that particular stock options from rising, such as bad of its own that will keep it from following the sympathy trend.
Remember, overrides other trends. Sectors go through hot and cold phases. Knowing which sectors are hot is especially useful in uncertain market trends. Whenever there`s a sudden general market trends rally, only the stocks in the hottest sectors will participate in the rally. Stocks in cold or dying sectors will remain flat or neutral.
Always be aware of which sectors are hot or `in play` so that you`re ready to trade into the right stocks when the market trends rallies. At the same time, be aware of which stocks are overvalued so that you`ll know what to sell short when the market trends make a downturn. As a trader, your goal is to be positioned in the strongest stocks and sectors when you buy, and in the weakest when you sell short.

Wall Street Fraud Watchdog Warns All Investors About Wall Street Brokers and Banks Over Cash Equivalents
The Wall Street Fraud Watchdog is warning investors worldwide to be very careful of what Wall Street calls cash equivalents, such as failed, frozen, or devalued auction rate securities, products like Schwab Yield Plus and or a product sold by TD Ameritrade called Reverse Yield Plus. According to the group,"if you were sold one of these products, and your investment was devalued, or frozen, we want to hear from you. While we are on the topic, we are warning all investors to have your broker or bank investment advisor confirm in writing that your US tax free municipal bonds or VRDN's are 100% safe. We do think a US stock broker or bank investment advisor will put in writing that the US tax free Muni is 100% safe. We expect the US Municipal Market to crash in 2009, because of dramatic declines in US property tax & retail sales tax revenues." Investors or victims can contact Americas Watchdog's Wall Street Fraud Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466, or visit their web site at Http://WallStreetFraudWatchdog.Com for more information.
