Bouyant Rebound Following Dismal Jobs News

Beyond all predictions of the experts and professionals, stock market indexes have rebounded to positive territory following the abysmal jobs report earlier this morning. What a turnaround!

Trading on the Fundamentals

This is a perfect example of an instance in which market forces have done precisely the opposite of what would have been expected, defying all reason. This is why I don't trade on fundamentals-related news events. I like to be aware of the fundamentals, especially the timing of news events. However, I trade only on technical analysis. The charts don't lie or mislead! I use fundamentals news only to confirm what the charts are telling me.
