Nope. Not at all. And in the last hundred years, its never went straight up. That's the risk one takes holding a near term futures contract on an index. What about the people that bought the June contract in early January.? Think they're bitching? If you want to use your money to buy and hold, you buy good stocks cheap. Period. Noise happens. It always has. That's just the way it works.
Hmm, I do recall a tiny bit of action on the June 2019 contract back in Oct 2018, But two contract months out, you are taking a huge risk on the spread of the thing.
And we have talked about this. Stocks simply cannot give the same returns as futures with no leverage. Stock require you to have hundreds of thousands in the account to make a living off of trading them. So I am stuck with futures.
Maybe not in black & white but many times Trump said that he's in no hurry to reach a deal. The speculation is that Trump wants to time a deal to happen just before the elections, and if a deal is not happening, then he's happy to chalk-up points with his though on China campaing leading up to the elections. This is one policy that his opposition can't attack so he'll flog it to the end.
The night is young. P.S. This is a positive sign. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/c...-new-trade-talks-2019-07-28?mod=mw_latestnews

one of those special accounts where FIFO does not apply and buys do not offset sells, and vice versa?
