I expect to hear the FOMC in there minutes released today to hint at concern re guarding coronavirus. They stand ready to act. Truth is the are micromanaging our economy.Twenty years ago this type of Central Bank policy would have been shunned. The markets would have figured out the correct response on its own.
If you want to trade index futures, trade the index showing the most strength. We are still in a bull market so trade from the long side and make the easy money.
Last week the FOMC injected 15.9 billion bringing its current balance sheet within a whisker of its all time high.
Should be there by march at the rate its moving at. Only way to keep markets juiced and running to extreme levels. No stop at all in place for the billions they are printing to keep the market moving in only one direction.
Nasdaq to 10,000 by end of February Same stocks driving the nasdaq Msft Amzn Fb Aapl Nflx Google Keep those juiced and the nasdaq will keep going in one direction....even though valuations are extreme they still only go one way. Up
In a normal market, one being free of FOMC meddling. Apples warning would be a shot across the bow. You know more warnings are coming. When you have the FOMC running things you will have to keep paying higher and higher prices to own these tech companies.
Amazon in one month has added over $150,000,000,000 in market cap. Let that sink in. $150 Billion dollars in one month. At the rate its moving it will add over $1.2 trillion in market cap by December 2020.... companies are adding market capitalization at a record pace as the fed continues to pump up the markets. So when is a company like amazon full valued? At a $3 trillion market cap, $4.5 trillion? 7 trillion dollars? When will these companies be fully valued, how can companies add hundreds of billions of market cap and still not be fully valued. Is there no such thing as a company being fully valued when the fed prints money?
Coronavirus: IMF chief says the outbreak is the ‘most pressing uncertainty’ for global economy I'm just simply amazed by these headlines, if these worries were so true and dramatizing then why are the markets continuing to only break out to new highs. With coronavirus headlines out every single day these markets should be down at least 15-20%, however what will happen is that since the coronavirus hasn't done anything to push markets lower, the day there is a positive headline about cases leveling off or some type of cure will only push markets into the stratosphere. So these negative headlines are actually a positive for the markets going forward.

There is no reality when you have an outfit "FOMC" with unlimited cash pushing the indexes higher and higher. Complete distortion of reality. Trump is not responsible for these record highs in stock indexes. The FOMC is responsible. Why won't anyone say this. Well maybe Trump is responsible, he did beat Powell into submission.
