The stock market

And you would if you could!! ?

2 weeks of christmas are traditionally the most quiet times... FLAT…

2022 WAS all about protecting capital, trading short term Long or Short positions and (as I stated many times) stay away from CRYPTO. Getting thru 2022 unscathed took a lot of effort....making a profit difficult. BEAR markets destroy both bulls and bears or tries too.

I am hoping for a wash out by early spring. If you protected your capital you will be in a good position to BUY. I f you didn't ...don't feel bad..you will have lots of company.

At the capitulation stage a lot of people throw in the towel and sell everything and swear off the market forever. When you get that feeling...we bottomed!!! Please post it here for me :)

It still amazes me that news reports are so lazy that they treat the Dow as a barometer for "The Economy" and that this has been so pervasive over the last 30 years that folks from all walks of life buy into it.
My understanding is that today's rally is based on reports that job growth (a justification for passing almost any type of legislation) and wage increases (which help everyone still in the work force) have cooled - and millions of folks in their 20's and 30's who make not much more now than we did in the 80's will read the surge in the Dow as good tidings.
Anyway, Old Guys Rule!

I've given up trying to predict how various events will move the markets.
