  1. I suffer from TDS, too, but the market is the market and we have to trade it like it is.

  2. I don’t understand the short thesis behind the Market. Maybe certain industries but big money seems desperate to be positioned long. All my risky plays are blowing out their ATHs, maybe I am wrong?

    most likely. ytd spx 2.88% dji 1.44, ndx 2.35. p/e is on the high side, everyone is doing yolo trade.

    the benefits of capital account surplus go to the top 1%. in the interest of self preservation, they are bailing each others out.

    Until the punchbowl is taken away (this Prez and gang ain't doin' it that's for sure - they are just bringing in a bigger punchbowl) no reason to think short.
     
  5. Blow off top?

  7. I believe Trump and his economic policies is the wildcard here. It's hard to see a sustained bull run until things become more stable - and who knows? Maybe we'll sell hard from these levels, too.

    I'm just trading technically and from my POV this week was biased to go higher with a kiss of ATHs (or close) before the next big move. :)

  8. I read the China news, so we are back to where we were three weeks ago? I play high octane pumps and options(CRWV, OKLO, SMR, CRCL, Quantum themes.). They move against the Market but go berserk if we are positive.

    “I’ve known this guy for a long time,” Trump said of former President Joe Biden. “He was never the sharpest bulb.”

    :D
     
  10. Dunno.

    One characteric of the market lately is that every dip is bought, though. You can just tell there's a bid in the market even if there's some sharp drops. Maybe it's the TACO trade where market participants just don't take Trump seriously any more.
