Keep an eye on the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index release tomorrow morning at 8:30 (see link below for Friday morning) to see if it indicates inflation that is a tad lower. This non-TA information could set up the direction of whether we are at a top, or there is further to go up before a pullback and/or corrections happens into the spring, and more likely preceding the election (Oct to early Nov like in 2020).

Don't let the bedbugs bite hoopie! LOL
Do you know why the huge Jan 4th pop to the 9s has now faded back down to the $6.5 pre-news huge pop?
Seems the street just isn't a believer or maybe they don't want to wait a few years for first positive earnings?? thanks
Hey imi, I could not find anything specific on how reducing regulatory environment
in the US will help out small caps more than large caps. This is more what I've read
in the past about SEC regulations. And of course some of these roll backs may take
time to put in place, so more of a longer range (2-5 years) help for small caps.
That said, the more dominant factor that will improve small caps will be the future cuts
in Fed rates, as small caps are more debt ridden and servicing those costs has been more
painful for them than large caps which have a large war chest and/or they've sold bonds like
I've seen Apple and others do at like 1% rates, so they have a large cash cushion advantage.
My initial thinking may still be off, as today's pop by IWM out of the gate up to 1.23% has now mostly
faded back to 0.44%, while SPY has been in the 0.4% and now at 0.66% with big help from a few
of the Mag 7 (MSFT, META, and NVDA.....all hitting new all time highs I believe).
I believe the markets are anticipating solid earnings/forecasts from the tech stocks; Mag 7 and others below that are part of the AI growth areas, also as it filters into other companies that buy this technology (tools) to improve their efficiency/productivity.
Also, I believe the market is looking at Trump recent primary state wins as VERY positive for small cap stocks, as they are still 20% below their highs, and if Trump gets elected he will reduce/undo regulations that put higher costs on small cap stocks than the large caps. In other words, it eats into their bottom line compared to the much smaller impact to large caps. Large caps would still benefit more too, just not as much. jmho.
Vein, yes, any day now after that 24k gold shareholder letter 6 weeks ago. $5's on deck (after punching through the $4.63, 50 dma). Then we go for the 200 dma and due North with bigly news. A very big set up is about to take hold.
Scope, absolutely. Danny boy is not only a Wuss, as appropriately labeled by a wise LWLG long lady elder, he is also a big cranky fat sour puss! Some never learn, over and over again! lol
PS: I 95% doubt Danny even knows what Premier League soccer is nor how athletic and exceptional those athletes at the top level. Oh well, he's Wuss League nothin' but Bitchin!
No, slide 46
Sounds like you lost more money again!
Unbelievable how some.......NEVER.......LEARN.
You are the bait, the Pros are the sharks, and the buy and hold are the ecosystem
that will flourish upon next releases of news containing details and 4x200G transceivers.
Too bad you never understood the Dr. Lebby ecosystem he is developing, and more importantly the
Lightwave 3-prong model. BOOM! adios amigos. LOL
Jerker, your mind moves about as fast as Uranus around the sun.. How many years does it takes you to understand the Lightewave script?
Bzzzzzzzzzzz: answer is 84 years. You won't be around long enough to even understand, and you never owned too! LOL. Some never learn.
I believe Dr. Lebby will be blowing Dixie double four time real soon.
Stay tuned ye of little faith.
You keep sounding like Crusty the Klown. lol. Some never learn.
Disruptive innovation isn't like making a five and dime package of penny candy.
Maybe in your mind, just terrible that it was wasted.
Nice, you are all getting some quality snow recreation and exercise!
My labradoodle was going ballistic in the snow too before I left town.
I've escaped for 3 days to the south on Saturday visiting a friend traveling through Florida, east of Sarasota in Myakka State Park. Staying in a Cabin build by the Civilian Conservation Corps (1934- 1940) with large pine logs. Terrain is obviously flat as a pancake, but we've seen/heard owls, red shoulder hawks, and seen a wide assortment of shoreline birds such as Heron species, Ibis, Egrets and
many others, along with usual deer, a few gators on a bank (one 14 foot). Morning temps in the upper 30s, highs upper 50s, not normal for these folks, but great walking weather for the northeastern folks.
Feels good to get out of town, as Dr. Lebby completes his final plans and negotiations for more deals!
Yes, I have watched some of those interviews and stories. Still, the phase out of nuclear power by some other countries and the regulatory squeeze by US too has really compromised the sound support for nuclear energy we should have kept in place over time. It is a very critical component of the energy mix that is non-carbon (CO2) producing.
X, the issue with use of Hydrogen requires a cost effective way to convert it from H2O to H2.
The US Dept of Energy is providing grants to the private sector to help speed up this process over time (link below). Time will tell
whether innovations will lead to an equally effective renewable compared to oil/gas. It needs to rely on a renewable energy source
or it is just using fossil fuels to make expensive non-polluting car fuels. No net gain in reducing C output.
I believe the biggest mistake was US legislators and states (citizens) not supporting continuation/growth of clean nuclear energy,
and more recently the push for smaller scale and safer/more cost effective nuclear power plants.

Fascinating daily chart for Lightwave today starting at around 12:45pm EST.
There appears to be lots of little peaks, small pullbacks, and then higher peaks, and small pullbacks.
Higher daily highs, higher daily lows, and closing at the high of the day at $4.20.
Wonder if some of the BoyZ smell some news this coming Tuesday, or soon thereafter?

Been busy with work, and shoveling snow on a double driveway and back patio today. 5" few days ago, and another 5" today.
DC is back to the old snowy winter days baby, after playing the banana belt rain pattern the past 5-8 years. X how much have
you gotten so far?
read this past post for your information.
I firmly believe you have metastasized. Unfortunately, even my biological characterizations of you isn't understood by your limited knowledge; just like you don't understand what a Lightwave Perkinamine polymer is or it's natural and competitive advantages for EOP transmission/energy savings/cost vs the pack. Oh well, some NEVER learn!

No emotion, just stating the cold hard facts about your cancerous nature, and sub-penny pushing losing history.
Shame on you, you piece of squamous carcinoma cell tissue!
Go back into your sub-penny box where you belong.
Zero logic, zero science knowledge, zero research = Nil, none, nada!! in other words, Null Set! 🤣
Thanks frobinso! If only I was that good for the end of year 2023 Roth purchases in Dec at $4.75 avg price, but one never knows when we've hit the bottom.
Didn't think we would go sub-$4s much longer, but I will take it, as big news is near. plural, as in multiple PRs on deck from the Dec 4th 24k gold shareholder's letter!
Just added 1,935 shares at $3.87 for my 2024 Roth.
Thanks BoyZ for your games that created some additional opportunities for me and my family.
Lowest buys of mine since first buys at June 2021's at $3.3ish area.
Red you are a fool just making up speculations with zero fact basis.
No wonder I have you on iggy.
Lewrock, I understand the issue at hand, but I will continue to believe that the secrecy has a clear purpose.
And when more information is revealed, those who have been frustrated by the secrecy (NDA) and share price will be handsomely rewarded for their patience.
I am Spartan, so patience and discipline is in my DNA. But I will need to see more evidence soon in order to assure my patience.
Sounds to me like you need some heavy duty 4x200G Mega Depends so you can respond "Now" and now after you wander off to the pot! 🤣
tkg, thx for that post. this article has more details on HPE's direction and others as it relates to AI and cloud growing massively fast!
Hewlett Packard (HPE) to Acquire Juniper Networks per Reports
Zacks Equity Research
Tue, January 9, 2024 at 8:08 AM EST
In this article:
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company HPE is rumored to be eyeing a significant stride in the tech landscape with the speculated acquisition of Juniper Networks, Inc. JNPR for an estimated $13 billion, per the Wall Street Journal report. This purported move is anticipated to unlock an array of strategic advantages for HPE, reshaping its footing in the tech industry.
The rumored acquisition news came just a few days after the technology sector heard the speculation of Synopsys Inc. SNPS acquiring ANSYS Inc. ANSS. Last Friday, Bloomberg reported that Synopsys is in advanced talks to buy ANSYS for an estimated value of $35 billion. The financial news and data provider’s sources suggest that Synopsys is considering paying $400 for each ANSYS share, and a deal could be announced as soon as next week.
The potential acquisition of Juniper Networks isn't just about expanding Hewlett Packard's networking infrastructure. It could be a substantial leap into advancing its artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities and offerings.
Juniper Networks brings more than just robust networking solutions. It holds a wealth of expertise in AI-driven networking and security technologies. The amalgamation of Hewlett Packard's infrastructure expertise and Juniper Networks' AI-focused networking could pave the way for revolutionary advancements in AI-powered IT solutions.
This fusion might result in an expanded suite of AI-powered solutions for data centers, cloud environments and edge computing. Harnessing Juniper Networks' AI expertise could enable HPE to offer more sophisticated and intelligent networking solutions that optimize performance, enhance security and streamline operations across diverse IT environments.
Additionally, the potential synergy between Hewlett Packard and Juniper in the AI space could expedite innovations in AI-driven automation, predictive analytics and network optimization. This integration might enable Hewlett Packard to deliver comprehensive AI-based solutions that cater to the evolving demands of businesses seeking smarter, more efficient, and secure IT infrastructures.
The potential acquisition move also reflects Hewlett Packard’s sustained focus on expanding its generative AI offerings to tap the growing opportunities in the space. In this direction, last year, the company extended its partnership with NVIDIA to build an enterprise computing solution that will help organizations adopt generative AI applications faster.
The solution will be built with a full-stack AI tuning and inferencing solution from the two companies. This will remove the complexities of developing and deploying generative AI infrastructure for organizations. Therefore, enterprises of any size will be able to quickly customize foundation models using private data and deploy production applications anywhere, from edge to the cloud.
The company believes that the new to-be-developed solution will be available for orders in the first quarter of 2024. With the latest collaboration with NVIDIA, HPE intends to offer its customers a comprehensive AI-native solution that will help them develop and deploy AI models with a portfolio of pre-configured solutions. The strategy will further boost the company’s reach into the generative AI space.
Currently, Juniper Networks carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), while Hewlett Packard and Synopsys each carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). ANSYS carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

CES 2024 Is Coming Amid Focus on Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is a major theme of this week’s CES, formerly the Consumer Electronics Show. More than 130,000 people are expected to attend the annual convention in Las Vegas, where other key themes are mobility, sustainability, and “human security for all.”
About 4,000 exhibitors will spread across 2.5 million square feet of exhibit space through Friday, up 15% from 2023. Events feature cars, boats, helicopters, computers, robots, streaming services, digital ad services, televisions, virtual reality headsets, consumer appliances, semiconductors, and the Goodyear Blimp.
More than 250 exhibitors brought vehicles to the Las Vegas Convention Center, including Mercedes, VinFast, BMW, Honda, Kia, and Volkswagen—but not General Motors, Stellantis, Ford, or Tesla. There will also be EVs, autonomous cars, and unusual personal-transport vehicles.
The Consumer Technology Association projects the industry’s retail revenue will rise 2.8% to $512 billion this year, accelerated by AI developments from smartphones and PCs to mobility safety systems, increased audio and video streaming, and a boom in gaming hardware and subscriptions.
Siemens CEO Roland Busch is tonight’s keynote speaker, a spot held for 12 straight years by Microsoft founder Bill Gates. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger and Walmart CEO Doug McMillon speak Tuesday, and Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon speaks on Wednesday.
What’s Next: On Tuesday, L’Oréal CEO Nicolas Hieronimus will talk about “beauty tech,” and Gail Boudreaux, CEO of Elevance Health, the health insurer once called Anthem, will address digital health. On Wednesday, Kisun Chung, CEO of shipbuilder HD Hyundai, will discuss how tech is changing infrastructure.

Thanks so much KCC, and Sqrl and Proto's input too. Getting much clearer picture now!
Not only all the benefits of Lightwave stated earlier, but a huge cost savings versus potential competitor using super expensive BTO! Boom!
That's what I'm thinking as the futures were initially much more red, then backed off.
They go from initial concern for rates stay higher for longer, but then market says,
oh, solid economy and earnings will be good..........so buy equities.
US Dec Nonfarm Payrolls rise 216k M/M, est. +175 (means higher rates for longer.....lower equity index pre-market for now, bond yields UP).
Wage increase 4.1% year over year, not going down as anticipated.
Xena, I just read the company's profile on yahoo finance and it is a joke!
Around 50++ kinds of products and services, a marketcap of 18M and the top
three people making over $1M a year combined. And I see Boner's brother is
on the payroll too.

Amen Scope. He's got a big trap (mouth).
Absurd statements of falsehood.
You are either hitting the bottle early today.......
Or getting some handouts from the shorts to do some of their dirty work here.
Or.......you are just a disgruntled long that can't handle reality of high risk/high reward investing.
Go row 10k meters on a Concept 2 under 2:08 min/500m to clear out your cobwebs.
I did this morning, though I didn't have the cobwebs your posts are showing.
imi, glad I cleared the decks on my retirement index funds with your additional research on fund managers having maxed out their allocation into end of Dec.
I was out 50% by the first trading day in Jan, then the rest the next day. So just lost 1.5% and completely agree that all the RSI and other indicators were way overbought, plus 8 or 9 straight weeks of index gains in a row. Time for the cooling off period and reset.
btw, TechniTrend was good online buddies with NetNeutral when NN was posting here, as they both use their own respective successful trading models.
If I did trade daily options, I would be completely onboard with TT with his invite to a discord site that he posts on for others.
Happy New Year 202$. Need to be nimble this year and humble too, to avoid any train wrecks.
