One Up One Down

As I have been here in NZ a few days now I have to say keeping tabs on the market has been fairly easy.

Since I have arrived I have had two broad holding have big moves in opposite directions. Stryker, the human replacement parts company is down a lot and Google is up a lot. The two come close to canceling each other out. I don't really assign too much emotion to either move. I have hard time thinking the long term demand for new hips and other things is really in jeopardy. I wish the stock weren't down but oh well. I have a hard time thinking the things are so different this week for Google than they were last week. I could see both names undoing some of the most recent moves that came from fear and greed.

This little divergence is a great example of a recurring theme of this site. I don't make decisions based on emotion. I do better using logic and common sense so I try to stick to it. So far so good with Stryker and Google.
