Since I've been asked to be the key-note speaker at the Spring VettaFi's Market Outlook Symposium, I don't think I can if I accept the invite.
Terrible news out of Gaza. Three hostages killed by friendly fire-- they were waving a white flag. Very bad look for the Israel forces. Non professionals on the front line never good.
As winter sets in Ukraine a stalemate is all but assured. I would stress to Ukraine how much a big victory somewhere on the battle field would get Republican's attention. Here I go blabbing again... I'll probably lose my source.. But Russia is decimated. We could attack Russia right now and roll in un apposed. 90% of their fighting force is dead. You heard that correct 90% of their fighting force is dead. They are using prisoners and conscripts at this point. You won't hear this anywhere but our Generals know this. They are also using WW2 equipment. Russia has never been weaker. Perhaps rather than throwing money at the problem we should move forces into place. Now would be a beautiful time to invade Russia. If we could banish this problem, kill Putin and start a democracy there China will really be on the ropes. So we kill two birds with one stone. Just a Christmas thought...
So for Ukraine pick a spot on that long line of Russian defenses along the coast and pierce it through the middle and then clear out the weak side. Hold the line one way and clear the other. I have suggested this for a long time. Equip special motorized divisions with skis and treads and create an attack force using winterized weapons-- Now Putin is feeling confident because the Republicans are wavering on support. Now is the time to show everyone how weak Russia is ATTACK!!! ATTACK!! Attack!! and we should mass at Russia's boarder. Hey it's just EU exercises...
SQUEEZE THE RUSSIAN JUICE-- THEIR ARMY IS IN SHAMBLES********************** A few thoughts on the YEAR24 picks-- Cyclical or not cyclical I am not sure. I'm thinking despite what they say.. No. Retail or not Retail? Healthcare or not Healthcare? I like the losers idea, the lifting of other boats.

We have our Christmas party today so I won't be able to do a fresh STOCK OF THE WEEK-- just use ABBV again it only went up $5. Which is nothing to an expensive stock. And look for any continued volume in ITCI. I do think they will get bought at some point.
