All things STOCKS

I watched one of the smartest guys I knew go through that. It didn't make much sense. Covid was at least a real problem, if you're dead, it makes a difference. That debt implosion in 2008 was just paper.

We could look out the window and see what was going out the gate. I wonder sometimes why I didn't tell my dad to put everything he had in Eastman stock. It went up 10X after that, and of course obviously paid out about 100% of itself (well, more than) in cash too. It never occurred to me to try to embolden him. In my case, I had no plans to hold it long enough, but with the dividends, he might have.

I did good today trading 0DTE Spy calls. How do we see the week ending? Anyone want to put a number on it? 390 or 395?
 
Might get a little Information Technology (growth funds) type pull tomorrow from these new contracts. But in general, unless J-Pow is extra charming next week, I'm not seeing a good reason for a Santa Claus rally. However, after the beating of this year, unsure there will be as much tax harvesting in 2022. Except for energy, everything else has taken a pounding.

I think 395+....so do the opposite lol

All my little signs show we are going up to start the day. Unsure how strong. If J-Pow gives us the .50 bump next week, we might be overall up slightly between now and Dec 16,

After that, the following two weeks should just be low volume slight drift downward.

Then, we shall see what the new year holds for us. Will start slow. Cash is still king for next 20-30 days.
 
Think you know the future at your peril.

True. But, December is the one month that holds true to form the most often.

It is something of a process of elimination game.

Unless today kicks off a brief rally, it's not going to happen tomorrow on a Friday.

Etc etc etc
 
Think you know the future at your peril.
SP futures up $24, Dow futures up $139 at 8:00 CST. So If I were going to bet I'd bet the market opens up. But with 30 minutes before the open things could change.
I've never been able to predict the future. Well, sometimes my WAG is correct.
 
My net worth went up 20% in the last 2 months. Glad I wasn't in cash then. I can predict the past really well.
