FOMC can't stop pumping fresh printed cash into the markets. Last week was only 10 billion. They are solely responsible to pumping the equity markets higher and higher. Make no mistake they are behind every bubble and crash. They create problems to solve problems.
The threat of war will give the FOMC cover to keep pumping more cash into the stock index futures. Each little FOMC member will give reassuring comments at each and every speaking engagement.
Where do you disappear off to when the market is going south? If the Fed is pumping in billions and equities are ranging the past two weeks I'd say that's a warning sign.
Any idiot realizes that when the MSM heathens starts touting 2020 is going to be a great year you proceed with caution.
Excuse me but Ive been around this site for around 15 years. How about you? I guess you expect me to be right 100% of the time. All I know is the trend is up so trade from the long side, Is that to hard to understand. I can understand if your afraid to buy after such a vertical climb.
The last range equities were in this summer every major network "warned" of the inverted yield curve and impending recession using similar if not identical talking points. They used sirens, bold letters, panicked pundits - the whole charade. It was a tell that equites were going higher. I'm not picking a market top, but I'm sure as hell not blindly buying the index after a 12 year bull run in an election year.

Former Chairman Alan Greenspan told CNBC in September that it’s “only a matter of time” before below-zero yields come to the U.S. When she was chair, Janet Yellen said in a letter that she would “would not completely rule out the use” of negative rates. Current Chairman Jerome Powell has said he does not expect the Fed to go that route. “Categorically ruling out negative rates is probably unwise, as future situations in which the extra policy space provided by negative rates could be useful are certainly possible,” Bernanke said in a companion paper to his speech.
