"Headfake" is a one-word term that is understood by everyone, especially if you are a sports fan. Why use an entire sentence to explain what one word will do? Do you understand what many big investment banks and hedge funds do almost always in uncertain times? Headfake sums it up! Don't be a jerk, @3ilt.
Somebody on here loves the term headfake.
A good rule of thumb is when "Wall Street Experts" say to sell, it is time to buy and when they say to buy, it is time to sell. Most likely, they are trying to drive down the price on energy stocks either because they are shorting the market or they are trying to create buying opportunities for themselves. Or these are the same people that were buying CDO's in 2007 and tech stocks in 2000.
Noting more than the big banks influencing more speculation in the oil rackets (I mean, oil business). These news stories should be taken with a grain of salt. They make sense, but watch out for the head-fake they aim to promote.
