C'mon now, Xi has your best interest at heart.

Me Chinese,
Me play joke.
Me put pee-pee,

China cannot be trusted.

You trust our gov't?

Down .8%......looks like I was wrong...as usual...lol!

I'm gonna be selfish because I have a couple of 190 covered calls expiring Friday.

Pays very well...

So, what is the market going to do over next seven hours? I'm positioned too aggressively.

J-Pow seems to be on a personal mission to crash me out before he heads off to retirement.

I'm thinking QQQ down 2% today.

AmIrIgHt?

 

[Jax_Vol]

Wut is going on with AVAV today?

An unusually volatile defense stock

I think Powell may be outnumbered on when it comes to another rate cut. I got much less aggressive recently, though. Short(ish) time to retirement.

Hope you are right.

Now that you mention it, J-Pow should consider his own Thrift Savings Plan account. His C fund is up 18% this year.

Might want to tone down his rhetoric to improve his own nest's egg..

Earnings announcement. And the CEO was on CNBC yesterday. Plus Ukraine is fighting Putin with drones, so all of that creates volatility.

WOOOOOOOOOO WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

The street liked whatever the Fed released...at least short-term "liked"

I’d wait for Powell to open his pie hole at 2:30 before feeling too good right now.

Meh. The NASDAQ is pretty flat. The DOW has moved slightly higher. I'd say it's a non-event.

 

[Vol737]

I'm up about 1% on the day. It's about what was expected, so a lot already baked in. Probably give it all back sometime this week or next. Sure would help the $ if we would get ahold of deficit spending.

It's all relative to other currencies. The DXY is up 36% since 2008 while deficits have exploded.

I think today sets up a pretty stereotypical Santa Claus rally with a pullback coming in early Q1.

You are right. It ended up and a non-factor.


Think Having the Trumpster in charge makes me more twitchy...

Agree with the Santa Claus rally.

The biggest news was the resumption of Fed purchases of treasuries.

Cannot be understated.

Futures and After Hours are indicating a significant pull back. Hopefully not a trend d veloping for year end, but rather some ping ponging sessions.

ORCL earnings call probably.

Hopefully, AVGO saves the day tomorrow.
