Great Scott! Today was one heck of a great day for trading!
Oh wait, let me rephrase..
For a serious investor, today was a terrific day.
Now, for those individuals who rides the emotional roller-coaster of ups and downs, then today wasn't too good for you. you know what I mean, right?
On a green day, it's all 'WHOO HOO' and on a red day its, 'Oh man, not looking so good'.
You see, in order to for use to have a major run up, we need red days as well. Right now, we don't want the RSI to be too high, and seeing its at around 50 right now, that's very good.
Example 1:
Our whole life, from childhood, we're taught RED means stop, don't touch, danger, fire, etc.
Our whole life, from childhood, we're taught GREEN means earth, nature, go, safety, etc.
So, when we grow up, its only natural for us to think that a 'red' day is bad. It's not our fault, really. It's simply what we're taught. To be an investor, you need to step out of that comfortable box and be ready to accept red days as 'necessary'. It's the nay-sayers who try to bring you back to your childhood fears that 'red is always bad'. Nice people, right?
Example 2:
Notice how our brains have a difficult time accepting the example below:
STOP!
GO!
Also, theres much more to investing than closing red and closing green.
let me explain..
Below is the monthly chart for SCIE:
If your initial reaction is, "crap, we closed red", then maybe investing isn't your forte.
If your initial reaction is, "Cool! We're higher than last week!" then youre 99 steps ahead of the everyone else.
You see, hidden in that red bar is also this information :
if you don't know what this stuff means, and you want to be a serious investor, how come you haven't researched these terms yet? GO GO GO!
And so, this post is pretty much trying to get serious investors to understand that there is MUCH MORE to investing than the color of the bar at the end of the day. Red days are absolutely required in order for future days to be green .
Do you realize the last time we crossed the MA line was back in November 2015??
Let's pull out the Price Channel indicator from our trusty DD toolbox..
Let's clear out those annoying simple moving average lines, and replace them with pretty blue Price Channels. ( do DD do see how these work). See image below..
Price Channels are great indicators, but only for certain things. You don't really want to use them to figure out if SCIE was overbought or oversold (although you can, I don't). For that, youd use another indicator.
Read this if you dare:
Price Channels are great for possible changes in trends and that, my fellow DD'er, is what I believe todays chart showed us. "But IT CLOSED RED TODAY!", you might still be screaming. Yes yes, I know its difficult to shed those beliefs that 'red is bad' and 'green is good', but you have to try if youre serious about learning about investing. In the long run, red days are good too, as long as they follow a TREND. And so far, this chart is showing a lot of trends starting to form.
And as you can see in the above graph, todays close was in the upper channel; and that's great because it takes a LOT of effort to push it up that high, even though we closed red. Get it? YAY!
Good job today to all the serious investors.

Price Channels are lines set above and below the price of a security. The upper channel is set at the x-period high and the lower channel is set at the x-period low. For a 20-day Price Channel, the upper channel would equal the 20-day high and the lower channel would equal the 20-day low. The dotted centerline is the midpoint between the two channel lines. Price Channels can be used to identify upward thrusts that signal the start of an uptrend or downward plunges that signal the start of a downtrend. Price Channels can also be used to identify overbought or oversold levels within a bigger downtrend or uptrend.
