Think it was Regan who said, Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it
keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."
Meanwhile Byedumb who hates business, unless it works for him continues to stymy our energy resources again looks to dictators for help after he partially drains our own reserves.. While Switzerland is in the process of possibly outlawing or limiting the use of electric vehicles. Still like my horse for getting around here..
A black lesbian WNBA player who kneels for the anthem gets released for breaking Russian laws.
A US Marine is left to rot in a Russian cell. Some will say to bad because of his record. What about the kneelers record?
Meanwhile, Russia gets their most powerful international arms dealer back. We know who got the best deal here.
Try to imagine the reaction if Trump freed the most notorious Russian arms dealer for Tim Tebow and left behind a black US Marine.

While most are getting chopped up bonds had another nice run on the long side. Was told these held no interest or made no sense. Well cycles make a lot of sense to me regardless of the item.
Yup it's stuff like this long or short I'll be focusing on next year. Said months ago the general market is of little interest to me.
Good Luck fear most will need it.
So from the big dump in mid aug till Oct slow traders make money, s/t traders made money.
When I last mentioned the nice sell in late Sep., which was near the recent I/T lows, we've again done well, 401kers included for a second time this year..
401kers took a few bucks off the table for turkey day. I needed to see the chart patterns, and being I was out of the office the kids relayed the messages as instructed from a couple weeks prior. This week they took a few more chips home, still about 60% invested. Likely some wierdness next week but a mid week pop will take these guys to higher cash.
It has been another good year. Haven't counted the eggs and chickens, no need to.
How much I'll be giving out next year remains to be seen. Having given a lot for years with little in return has me thinking to hang it up since the kids will be doing all the trading and I'll only be doing the big picture stuff.
Warned about this in July if there was no contributing I wouldn't give much. then crazyness came out so I all but clammed up.
Maybe go back to a pay service, ya that's a thought, when I did this everyone paid attention.
Using real world data, which some don't understand, you'd know this morning was sell. Keeping the S/T traders paradise alive and well.

The Clintons and NAFTA made me sick. They also showed if they had full control speeding would spiral. While we were in an economic expansion I saw this as another straw to the camels back and made me more untrusting of government. As I was always slanted toward being self sufficient I took the next step. .. Few politicians alive can deny they've sold out part of our country.
Integrity was a rare commodity with Clinton and isn't any better with Trump .. Many that went along with the election steal idea did not get re-elected, fine with me. I still support many Libertarians, third party etc when possible. Hoping the Forward party isn't another full blown liberal group and maybe they will cause some unity or softness to the extremes. Meanwhile Byedumb shows the world how stupid he is. The thirst for one party rule is being questioned, it's a start.
Ukraine. Mixed feelings here as I feel this could have been prevented had some in NATO grown a pair months before it started. .
2008, bail out the banks. Gramps said many times, banks run the country and I agree to a point.... In the late 30s a movie titled Stagecoach was released. A line near the beginning of that show was, "What's good for the banks is good for the country". The line was from a dis-honest banker that only looked out for himself, sounds familiar.... But this crook got arrested and did a perp walk near the end of the movie.
4K-ish. Turkey Time was mentioned a couple months ago... Like going into mid Aug our 401K groups again made money.... Didn't waste my time with details going into Oct. However, at the Nov low the mid sep hi was mentioned..... Upside is likely limited for several weeks. 401Kers again raised cash but did not go to full cash like mid Aug.
Like Mid Sep,,,,. we are entering another important phase that could take a couple months to play out and confirm a few things... But should continue to be a traders paradise with various groups including the spooz..
Will be busy transferring data to the kids system for a month or so.
Was a good time.
Many hospitals take state and federal money, thus in most cases they have to take Medicare.. Private institutions can work around this. A massive default could bring on an issue, if this were to develop it wouldn't matter as this is the end some speak of. . Fun fact about 65% of medical facilities work with Medicare.. VA centers don't as it's not needed.
Fed has stayed the course as expected but by Feb they should slack off or be close to it. Before we left on our trip I threw a bunch of lazy money at CDs.
The self sufficient idea came about in 97. Had sold my last business, was looking to get away from population centers but not be a hermit. Had a small farm but mostly for our own needs..... in 05 my step daughter got the expansion started. The bullshit from the Clintons made me more aware of what could happen, way back then.
People talk about fellowship, comrades etc. This is at or near the top of the list. Like minded individuals that aren't afraid to break a sweat and create a few blisters along the way. No one expecting a hand out.. Everyone contributing in some manner be it labor, trades people, support for health care, teachers that teach not re-write history and legal assistants.
There were times I felt like a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. But I wouldn't trade all the work and planning away for anything.
There's no better reward than when a kid walks up to me, says thanks for showing them how to fix their bike, versus just fixing it to get him out of my hair...... Teach a man how to fish and he can sustain himself and family for life., No I'm not a religious nut.
Many missed this. But if you had watched the bonds yesterday you would have known,,,,,,,,,,,,, to pay attention, or not
Will they buy the next dip or short into it?
Leaving for a few weeks.
Generally my thinking too. Even goes along with some of the platforms of controlled spending and holding the line on taxes.
talked months ago about energy running up into early Nov. Bet I was the only one that remembered.
Was the easiest trade out there but decided not to waste my time with the alert
PMs second easiest

A couple weeks ago a bunch of us old farts were sitting around a campfire and this 31T debt subject was brought up. I mentioned that amounts to about 95K per person. One guy just shook his head and said, my great grandson just turned a year old. He's so thankful to the democrats for his debt. I reminded him this debt issue has been ongoing for over 20 years. Then there was a lot of head nodding.
I have no clue what'll bring them to their senses. Free markets haven't existed for decades. The cycles still work, but the pumping of money simply adds to the volatility. Many use the "V" word for corrections when in fact it works both ways.
I can remember when interests rates were 15% and more. At that time our debt was small. 40 years ago I would have killed to have a loan at 7%. When I was paying 15% I got up in the morning, laced up my boot straps and went to work. It made me more determined to succeed.....
Many think this free money game is the only way to live. Now people are crying like babies.
But per taxes on the rich. Within the oxymoron wording of the inflation reduction act, corporations will be seeing higher taxes. The tax hike will simply put a hike on the cost of goods mostly affecting the poor, again like Byedumbs energy policy hurting those the most that can least afford it.
Will dumbocrats ever wake up? They think they're getting a free lunch. How stupid.
Pants on fire Byedumb said gas was $5 a gallon when he took office. Many will believe it. But the left think nothing of firing up a jet to go campaign for another hypocrite or a photo opt while telling us to go green. Practice what you preach? Not in DC.
Medicare and SS is a football few have the balls to go after.. One of our senators said retirement age should be later for some of the reasons I touched on. Said similar things for Medicare and caught a lot of flack from the free loaders.. But if no one has the guts to stand up and at least say something where does the crazyness end?
A few months back I posted the bond futures were suggesting tightening into next year. Have not checked since but expect the tightening to continue.
4K close? Yes, at some point. 4K is coincidental with the mid Sep cycle point and that 4k-ish price point. The mid Sep cycle separation was referring to a very bearish theme that could have developed had we not turned down in mid Sep. Thus in late Sep I said the traders theme I've been yapping about since mid Jan. is still likely.. But that price point does stick out like a sore thumb waiting to get nailed again..
Cycle separation since mid Sep was expected and has been amazing.
POIs are working, you have a couple left if notes were taken.
Haven't mentioned all of the POIs due to lack of contributing. 2 VST ones aren't too far away and will really shape things up.
When the cream is taken away the unknowing stay away.
Working with outside interests while the kids are running the show and doing a fine job. Proved to me the past 5-6 months they don't need me looking over their shoulder any more. With that in mind my time here will continue to be scarce, random and when it pleases me.
mostly a big ole whipsaw since my last appearance. Expect this to continue for a while. Many will look at this wrong. I bet many are still blaming Russia, what a joke.
Snowing today, took a fast break
chow
Either of the 2 last sell points looking pretty nice. Ya well,
Enjoying the great outdoors. Sure beats the crap out of a desk job. Few realize hard work has great rewards in many ways.
I hate parrots. Their repeating of everything drives me nuts.
Think the guys are close to 1900 points since mid June not counting leverage.
Longer term cycles made their split in mid Sep. as expected.
Permas wrongs keep saying one more rally, been saying that since late Jan. ,,,,,while since mid Jan. I've been saying this is a traders market like few have seen and it ain't over.
now,
On to my next adventure.
The guys made over 1500 points, not counting leverage since mid June just by following my major buy and sell points, which were all posted within a couple hours of the turn or at most 2 days in advance.. Whipsaws trades were more.
It pays to pay attention but I'll continue to be scarce. I see a bunch of cheerleading, but no calls or trades other than Bliss again...
Back to my life of watching the dumbo craps get all out of shape because a few illegals were dumped on the front doors at Martha's Vineyard. Now its a tragedy when it's in their front yard..
Shows how hypocritical the vote buying left tards are.
Medicare/medicaid would be easy to fix. Stop giving hand outs to illegals and stop giving benefits to any one with a hang nail. But the dumbo craps need to buy votes so this will never happen without a major change at the chicken farm...... We finally got around to allowing medicare to negotiate drugs prices after 55 years so my guess is the politicians aren't looking for drug money any more, they'll probably focus on health care corporations and insurance companies.......... We need to be more responsible, Oh heaven forbid be responsible?. Treat it like private insurance, co-pays and higher deductibles.... Take away the politicians subsidy.......... My mother had said, oh it's no big deal medicare will pay for it. ARGH
Many don't realize medicare was an idea from Teddy Roosevelt after he left the republican party in the early 1910s.
SS? Tax everything, no caps! Stop the added entitlements. Go back to what it was designed for....... Raise the entitlement age from 62 to 65 or even 67 for anyone under 45. We are living longer than when this program began........... 401Ks are a big thing, not even a dream in the 30s and Roths, all tax friendly...... .If I had been given the choice I would never had paid in as I never had an issue with being responsible for myself.
The less government the better but nearly everyone wants a hand out.
The political scene is an embarrassment.
This debt issue?. 1900? what's the catalyst? Wall Street always needs an alibi to explain why things go up or down even if the cycles call for it..
Well that makes a market. 2 sides to every trade. But with the market makers between it all things get distorted at times as they have an agenda too.
Kids reminded me we have a quad witch next week. Then we have the Fed. Yup I'm a whole week off, wonder where that week went.
I know you were generally looking down into the Fed. Same here.
Glad the kids are staying on top of this, I'm so out of touch I should just stick to my business and shut up..
Trying to get everything done by Turkey week so the wife and I can take a few weeks off together. Promised her a trip for her 25th anniversary, Hey I'm only a few years late. But she's pretty understanding with what we were trying to accomplish here.
, which brings up another time period of interest. Turkey week. gesh
Speaking of dojis, we just took out the Sep 2 high. The next challenge is the 4065 area, then the peak created off of Jack hole at 4200. 4200 could be a while.
back to work
If the pattern continues yes by Sun night at the latest. But if Mon is down it's should be another fast buy.
While I prefer to play ETFs for s/t swings, this is where an option play could be readied in advance for both directions instead of getting caught up in a news flash due to the fed speak like we had yesterday AM.
Mid last week I mentioned the power indicators were lining up. The next day we put in a low that did get slightly taken out on the 6th. The power indicators aren't exact for timing but they will alert you something is going to happen. With this knowledge in hand one could scale in and really bury the trade. Bliss played it perfectly.
Power indicators are seldom wrong, but in big bear trends they might not hold for long, which is why I mentioned that I was unsure how long they'd hold. Right now I'm thinking over all positive into mid next week or possibly next Fri.
I see the need for this.
The dojo created on Sep 2 is telling. Dojis love to be tested. Dojis tested and back off after a big up day is usually a day of rest, eh about 70% of the time.. Sometimes it takes a few times to bust thru, if the cycle is positive.
In choppy markets you dont chase, buy the dip, short the pop and keep the emotions out.
If you're working with a few untested guys that hit a few now and then, sit back and paper trade. This sort of carrys thru to what I was saying this morning about some of the boards that missed the whole sequence of trades since Jan.
However, my guys seldom use options unless I set it up for them. They mostly play long or short with etfs and usually double leveraged as there is little time decay. Emini for possible after-hours swing/reversals.
When I go into gunslinger mode, late Feb is a good example, I use 3x leverage as there is no time decay over a few hours.
Avoiding options in the middle of a cycle and more so during a news event like today means you dont have to stumble around looking for the right strike price. Just go long or short with an ETF and keep it simple..
I realize the temptation to hit the big one with an options play is there. this is a skill that takes a long time.. and patience is required, Bliss is a good example of an options trader that'll sit thru whipsaws.
Had some free time so I scouted around on the boards of the so called pros. WOW They all missed the June/Aug rally and remain bearish, Covered shorts near highs, hmmmmmmm, maybe I should start watching some of these guys for my contrarian work. Have enough perma wrongs for sentiment but a few more might be ok,
I'm convinced these EX-perts will miss the next major turns too.
Oh well, ,Sometimes I'll leave a trail of bread crumbs and hints that are so obvious a blind man could follow along. But I'm enjoying myself so why bother??
Putting myself on ignore for a while.
good luck
Repost, shesh
The connecting post tends to be what is happening, made those comments in mid April. Back then said the traders market that was called for in Jan was just getting started. YUP
Some place I mentioned Aug might set up another late March type event. Ain't digging for the link, do it yourself if you don't remember it, ignored the comment or didn't take notes. I have better things to do. . But I can see how this thought might happen. Again all the major cycles are starting to splinter. Everything was for a mid year low, then a few variations would set up.
Talked of getting everything out in Dec. Hit the Feb low in real time trading, Called the late March hi, hit the June low to the day, the Aug hi a day in advance.
No more real time calls for a while, let's see those with the fancy charts do something. Besides I have a lot going on until snowballs fly or late Nov. with all this stuff I'm doing. So I really do need to be scarce.
Bliss and I have been carrying the load. Comments like it'll be volatile are meaningless. Market are always jumping around.
Had mentioned the dollar a couple months back as being questionable about being a traders theme or not. Still going up, ya ya ya I know no else gives a rip about EZ money but it's still one of my ez money plays that I may have to trim back on again..
and the generals like my mid June alert that system was getting excited and was a slow plod plod plod market, now acting almost a 180 from the Mid Aug sell alert. drip drip drip
back to my chores.
good luck
Got a brief rain delay so I headed to my shop. Should stop using the old laptop for posting.
Bliss is doing well. Many missed the Jackson hole whipsaw which was part of the alt count. Now that count is being questioned.
Looked at the power indicators last night, they seem to be lined up but for how long.
Your comment reminds me of an old song, The Streaker by Ray Stevens. I never looked at the produce section of a grocery store the same way since. I just turn the other cheek.
Doing my outdoor stuff, which is where I belong. The markets? Ya getting less interested. Kids are making great strides in taking over by early Jan.
For every day that passes that's one less we have to mess something up. Makes one realize mortality gets us all at some point..
We have a senate race that's a real joke. The incumbent was going to serve 2 terms and leave. Idiots like piglosi made him run again and I understand why.
We got a lefty that yells about the con voting for certain tax breaks, how the tax breaks made the current senator rich while in office, **show me a one that did not gain wealth while in office-- whines about his lack of gun control... . 2 left feet hasn't paid his real estate taxes for a few years, walked out of a media event when questioned about his unpaid taxes, looked the other way during the 2020 riots,,,,, wants to defund the police but tighten gun control ah ya makes a lot of sense but he is a left tard... How they must be wired to think this way beats the shit out of me.
Guess the tax dodger needs a bigger paycheck and insider trading. Sounds a bit like tax dodger Al Sharpton.
Piglosi's old man gets a slap on the wrist for drunk driving, must have learned from draft dodger Prick Cheney how that game works.
Meanwhile young Cheney is getting kicked out of office but vows to never let Trump get in again. ,, neither of them should get in again..
But rejoice, Amen, Praise be to the idiots at the headless chicken farm.. We have more info suggesting our new third party will have candidates for the 24 elections... The founder is about as liberal as any. Chang was for giving everyone $1k. So we have 2 lefty parties, the Forward one might be a bit moderate, the cons and a sprinkling of everything else. I can't help but laugh. They are not left, not right, but forward. We'll see what batch of lies they forward to us..
Ross Perot must be rolling over in his grave. The left tards are whining this new party will effect them like Ralph Nader did.. Maybe this will soften some edges.
Finally getting around to submitted my application for a refund on the college education costs I endured while working to pay for my education. I fully expect my submission to be dipped in turpentine and shoved up my ass.
Reps. Vern Buchanan of Florida, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania, and Markwayne Mullin and Kevin Hern of Oklahoma — had tens of thousands of dollars in PPP loans forgiven as part of a federal program intended to help those harmed by the coronavirus.
Like many of their GOP colleagues, the lawmakers have blasted Biden over his student loan decision.
Well well well the bull shit continues to flow both ways
I have a thicker skin that you might imagine. I frikin hate wasting my time with making calls that get ignored. So why should I care? Because I do care, was trying to help you , took time out of my schedule to be here and make those calls. but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
good luck
Done talking markets for a while, Waste of my time. Rather pick on the dumb ass demo craps.
Now some of the sanctuary cities are crying uncle. Hey stupid you wanted the illegals make room for em>
dip shits
otta' here
Another mistake in-experienced traders make is focusing on one particular trade versus trying to juggle a basket full of items.. While I generally trade about 7 items, my main focus goes where I feel the EZ money is..
The EZ money stuff no one showed any interest in for over 2 years so I stopped mentioning them. But I don't get it!!!!!!!!! My account cares less what makes it grow. But this is where I focus most of my stuff while my nephew does the spooz and a couple other swings.
Doing the EZ money trades allows me to go on about my business and check the market a couple times a week.
I take my trading very seriously, even with the PMs mess in July, the escape valve I posted kept my win rate over 95%.
When I get bored or have a couple spare hours I'll cruise around some of the boards. There are some ideas out there that will make many throw in the towel.
Good luck
Shit for brains bye dumb bought some more votes today with some student loan forgiveness. Ya and add a little more kindling to ongoing fire is all it'll do. Sure glad I no longer have to work to pay those taxes.
dumbo craps are good at buying votes, and that's about all they're good at
It's a rain out for today. In the FWIW department.
one mistake many s/t traders make is trying to do too many things at once. GUILTY!! When gramps showed me the ropes we traded one thing, the NYSE. As I improved we moved on and after about 5 years he cut me loose.. .. Now for about 25 years I mostly trade the spooz, dollar, bonds, PMs, grains and oil.
Yet as long as I've done this and usually play by my rules, once in a while I still get hit. PMs in July was one. But there was a safety valve I set for the 18th I think???
There's a fundamental reason why PM stocks aren't working well. It's all about inflation.
Greed? Ya I've seen it and have even been there. Think of Kenny Rodgers and the Gambler, you have to know when to hold em and when to fold em.
I know how memory issues can cause tunnel vision as you say. Watched my father, his dad, a few aunts and uncles and dear ole gramps fight alzmheimers their last few years. I can't wait.
I find my self at times posting something I didn't want to because I still try to do 10 things at once. This afternoon was a good example. . If we repeat this weeks pattern I won't be surprised..
Some older friends of mine remind each other about the Rolling Stones song, "What a drag it is getting old."
Nothing wrong with taking a break. I'll be taking a lot of them as the kids are getting things nailed down pretty well.
The seedlings? We have lots of help as it's a community project. Many that are physically able will chip in a few hours here and there. Stupid me will stay with it until it's all done.. In our case a machine won't do the job as some areas are too hard to get at. 3 people working together is the easiest, one makes a trench with an ice chipper, the next guy drops it and makes a step on 2 sides, the third packs the tree in place with 2 more heel steps around it. Rotate positions every 10-15 minutes to avoid strains etc.. Once you do 5-10 you get a rhythm going and when you get 4-5 crews at once, it goes fast. My guess is we'll get em' all done in 4-5 days if past experience repeats, weather permitting. 2 guys work well too but it's a bit more stressful if you're not in shape..
TOS? Nope don't have a clue..
..
The early week notification of an impending correction was again spot on. Many don't understand how a hi can be made early in opex week but there it was and this is not a rare pattern.
The kids thought we might trade sideways into next week. I saw what they meant but had a problem wrapping my head around it. 3-5 times a year the cycles won't agree with underlying issues. This happened in late Feb when I was showing off my fast gun stuff. Has said something about the power issues said 2 more down days the cycles no, about 30 minutes later we popped.
Had a thunder storm go thru and curiosity got the better of me.
good luck
You didnt jump on the spiders in mid June? Gesh that's the easy trade right now. Gold is touchy but they did make a hi in early Aug as I had wanted. They might pop again for a couple days. Bonds might be coming back into play soon
I dont watch sports on tv any more except for some Nascar and the Indy 500. When the overpaid ball players started crying in the 80s I turned off the tube and said the hell with em'.. Haven't been to a stadium since the early 80s, yup with all the drunks and bull shit..
and I really dread it when I walk in the rec center and someone has golf on a TV. I walk right on thru and go to my shop where I have my own TV and frig. Golf! I'd rather sit in the woods and watch the grass grow. .
But I love a good game of straight pool or 9 ball.. Just finished a couple games and setting up for the next,
Wrong way diner, now that's a good one. Suppose all is well and good providing the meals don't come out of the wrong room. Ya run for Congress you cant do any worse that what we have now. bluck bluck bluck
Ya pretty busy with all sorts of things. Every time this old fart takes a week or so to screw off they dream up something for me. It's nice to be wanted, got the calluses to prove it.
Got about 5,000 seedlings to plant the next few weeks. Gotta keep the tree line going. When ever we cut down a patch from storm damage or old age, we replace em. Then as the years pass we thin em' out so they grow straight and tall. Plant for the future not for yourself. Hell I'll be long dead before these guys are 20 ft tall.
But ya posting about markets is starting to bore me. I'd rather share a good joke now and then. Chuckle at Trumps current issues. He brought it all upon himself. If they hang him, it'll be with the very law he signed into law.
Kids say the primary count might switch over to the alt. Not ready to give those details as it is very complex but generally down into mid Sep. starting early next week. Don't see it myself but I've not looked at internals since late July.
Will add the 2 major cycles I'm tracking should start to part by mid Sep. I know patience is a problem for some, I can't help that.
Really busy for the next couple months, You guys got the fancy charts. Dont have the time to be posting or watching anything.
Has been over 2 weeks since anyone else posted so odds are I'll be scarce for many months.
Snowballs are coming and the market is a low priority for me.
In my last post I still wanted to see mid Sep and probably mid or late Oct. before making any strong statement
I mentioned that the action around the last jobs report was important. A big ramp into that report was not preferred and the preferred count said lots of s/t trading to follow..
Preferred count says another fast and brisk correction is due very soon followed by more chop n' slop but up into Sep.
Will add the sun/mon AM stumble fits the preferred count.
So down into next year? I can see how that would play out, if it did it'd be early in the year as I currently see it...
I want to see what mid Aug., mid Sept and maybe late Oct. look like before going out on a limb as I still have 2 options to sort out..
Part of the reason why I'm still holding some mid June buys is due to all I see is a pullback and higher highs then current or maybe early next week before the next dump worth mentioning .
What could get me excited is a dump into the jobs report. If that happened then we should see several weeks of s/t trading. This is my preferred count. The alt might be a whole different ball game.
Oh ya was a good time, There was one night the guys roped me into a poker game that didn't turn out the best. Getting old but still too young to resist,
A million years ago.. talk about coincidences.. A couple months ago I was watching a Johnny Carson show with Raquel Welch as a guest. The guest that followed Raquel was watching One Million BC when he got a call to be on Johnny's show.... Could be all BS but that's what the second guest said.
After reading a few of the connecting posts I remember that time period. .. Some were calling other members foul names and some didn't know the difference between a pivot and a widget. I got tired of the nonsense and left .... Over the years I've left many times for a few weeks to several months for various reasons if anything just to take a break..
Social media was never my thing. Over the years,, partially out of boredom,, I'd float around I-Hub looking for those that would work with others. In most cases it's a pretty even split between,, either a pissing contest, stupidity, or no discussion or feedback where one or 2 carry the load..
Sometimes when I'm bored I'll read around a bit. Some are still blaming Russia for the unexpected whipsaws.
Got a busy time coming at me the next several weeks, Have to pay for my screwing off the last couple weeks.
The problem with the PMs is the metals are leading the stocks, not a healthy outcome, most of the time. ....Add in the 13th marker was very telling. That pop was unimpressive and a POI I felt was important....... Jrs. do act a bit better than the majors, for now.
The kids took a stab it on the 22nd and bigger one on the NEM earnings miss on Mon. but backing out of some of it today.
Cycle work isn't telling me much.
The old fed pattern pop and drop play finally changed. Good to see as I had planned my return for after the fed thinking this would happen. Deciding what to hold and what to hedge from my mid june and mid July buys.. We could be setting up for another pullback soon.
