Chasing the Market

    0.01 sec.
Chasing the market
Purchasing a security at a higher price than expected because prices are rapidly climbing, or selling a security at a lower level when prices are quickly falling.

Chasing the Market
The act of making investment decisions based on market trends after those trends have been in place for quite some time. Chasing the market applies to both buying and selling securities. For example, one may buy a stock after it has already gone up in price considerably, and may already have become overvalued. Alternatively, one may sell the same stock after its downward trend has become well established and it may have already become undervalued. Chasing the market is closely related to both panic buying and panic selling and is usually considered an irrational investment strategy.

Yesterday's gains gave an excuse for profit-taking and an opportunity to adjust before chasing the market higher in the future,'' said Masumi Yamamoto, a market analyst at Daiwa Securities SMBC Co.
We continue to see investors/developers keeping rents at a sustainable level to allow for development instead of chasing the market down.
What I do know is that it will provide an opportunity to finally make a lot of money in individual stocks in a easier fashion than we've experienced over the past year and a half and do not worry if you are not long you haven't missed anything, because the money to be made isn't in chasing the market averages higher, but in individual stocks when they line up to go up.
