Sometimes only a change of viewpoint is needed to convert a tiresome duty into an interesting opportunity.

One of the most important ingredients of stock market success is maintaining a fresh and energetic mental attitude while staying consistent, objective and unemotional. Successful investing isn't just about applying a book of rules. While you need structure and money management discipline, you also need to harness your mental energy and use it wisely.
If is very easy to become overly confident or unduly depressed as you deal with the market day after day. Some days it will feel like you are totally in sync with the action and on other days it will feel like no matter what you do it is going to turn into a mistake.
It is simply the nature of the beast that we will suffer ups and downs, and the bear market makes it even tougher than it normally is. What has really weighed on so many investors recently is that they have been very defensive as the market has improved. That isn't necessary a mistake. Your style and discipline will determine how you handle the market, but it can be very mentally depleting to be doing what you consider correct while the market provides opportunity elsewhere and fails to reward you.
In a bear market, being correctly defensive is certainly better than losing money, but it doesn't provide the same rewards -- mental or financial -- that being correct provides in a bull market. Even though the market has been undergoing a pretty good rally for a while, many market players are struggling to maintain a positive mental attitude.
The great irony of trading at times is that the general public tends to believe that it's great when prices go straight up, and it's bad when they go down. While that may be true for buy-and-hold investors, it is much more complex for traders. Strong markets like the one we've had for a while now need a rest in order to create opportunities, but then when we have a sudden breakdown and a bounce like we have had over the past two days, it can use up a tremendous amount of emotional energy trying to stay a step ahead.
Every day we have to come into this market with a clear head and a sense of excitement about the opportunities that lie ahead. We might not go straight up or straight down like many folks are rooting for, but we have to be confident that if we keep on plugging away that we will have some excellent chances to make some money.
In the early going today, the banks are seeing some pressure on Morgan Stanley (MS) and Wells Fargo (WFC) earnings reports. Morgan Stanley in particular is weaker than expected. Expectations were high, and we had a "sell the news" setup form after some euphoric action late yesterday. The banks have been determining market direction lately, but as I noted yesterday they have had a big run already and conditions are ripe for some profit-taking.

There is some nervousness ahead of the highly anticipated stress tests, which have been top of mind this week as the Treasury is set release the first bit of detail on the tests this Friday, April 24. This Friday's release will detail the methods used in the stress tests, and precedes the full release of stress test results on May 4, which are expected to give more crucial details as to the test results. The institutions involved in the tests are JPM, C, BAC, WFC, GS, MS, MET, PNC, USB, BK, STI, STT, COF, BBT, RF, AXP, FITB, KEY and GMAC.
Suhteliselt huvitav, kuidas tööstus- ja finantsettevõtete juhid räägivad, et hullem on möödas. Ja seekord ei räägita seda lootuses investoreid rahustada, vaid ise öeldut uskudes. Mis on tegelikult täitsa hea, sest sellised signaalid kipuvad olema isetäituvad. Tarbija saab üle pika aja positiivse signaali ning lisades siia veel kinnisvarastatistika, võivad lähikuud majanduses äkki positiivselt üllatada. Muidugi turgude võimalik langus võib jällegi pessimismi sisestada.
