I hope Putin backs down and we bounce off of Ukraine. There is no growth from WW3 from those guys. Let's keep in a cold war, not a shooting war.

Oh no, market is down nearly 1%!! Is that what qualifies as a black swan in this QE bull on steroids?
The stock market has a knack for fading anything negative & reversing up, currently. Intradaydip that looks like it could have legs... Take it higher.... Negative corporate news... Dip & take it higher... Negative economic data... Dip & take it higher Until that stops happening, the logical course is: Obama tries to make Putin his bare-back b!tch... Dip and reverse higher
We just had a 130 point rally with almost no pullbacks, and now a potential military conflict has started, we are at the most geopolitically risky point since 9/11 and the Iraq invasion a decade ago. If the market doesn't pull back at least 1/3 of that move in the next 2-3 days on this news, then it would be a crazily strong divergence. There are also plenty of further risks if the conflict escalates. Even if a deal is done, I doubt it will be done in the next 1-2 days - and markets usually sell off in the face of uncertainty. So, IMO this is a good place for a short, and there is a nice close stop near the old all-time highs to limit the risk.
