CH, you replied to Happy-Trails (HT) "You need to take in the whole counsel of God ...". I agree w/your reply, and that of HT; per my reading I think HT's reply wasn't askew from your reply. I wasn't sure how you saw it since you began with "You", and may have meant "All of us" or "We" (?).
Anyway... thanks again much for your posting/sharing, thank God for His mercy, and keep the Faith. Happy New Year to you, and all - may all things in the year work to His glory and purpose; may we be of use to that purpose in serving each day in Him and as one Body.:rolleyes:

Thank-you for pointing that out. It should have been "We".

There has been a war raging on this planet for millennia. That war continues to this day. Satan is the ruler of this world. But God is in control of all things, even on the planet Earth. If Satan is and has been seeking to destroy God's creation, then it should be recognized that God is not sitting back as a spectator. He intervenes when he chooses and uses whom he will for his purposes. The Old Testament has plenty of examples of this.

Well said CH.

​AMEN!!!!!
 
I do not want to stay on this topic too long, however I want to remind us all that Jesus came as a lamb the first time to give us his Gospel and much more. We are to keep his teachings, but he also promised us that if we follow him we will be persecuted. In essence, that is the war we are in. While Jesus came as the Lamb of God (a Jewish title) the first time, he will not return as a Lamp the second time, but as a Lion.

This war is real. I don't like it any more than anyone else, but there are 2 sides in the war and we need to discern who is on what side. The information war that is being waged will make that task very difficult for the majority of us. Keep an open mind, but recognize that truth will not necessarily drop in our laps. The enemy will do whatever he can to mislead each and every one of us all the way to the end.

Spiritual warfare is real, true. But the truth is very accessible via the bible. Thanks be to God that the Word drops into my lap daily. Way too many claiming to speak for God or claim to have heard a word from the Lord, or been visited by an angel or view a political figure as the anointed one.
 
Interesting points and counterpoints. All I know is God loves me and Jesus paid for my sins. Because of this, I am truly blessed.
 
Today, the market was largely negative, but not a lot. Price on both the S&P and DWCPF remain near their highs, which could easily be challenged with just one more push to the upside.

The CBOE has not posted, but they've been neutral the past 3 trading days. Cumulative breadth dipped, but it's meaningless as you can see from the chart. The signal remains near its peak, but it is moving sideways, which some might interpret as potentially negative. That's possible, but liquidity is going to make it tough for the bears to get any traction unless something changes.

TRIN and TRINQ are both neutral.

I remain bullish.
 
Gold is over $1,600.00 tonight. Silver is on the move too. Anyone who understands the truth of what is happening with the banking system can take advantage of the changes underway in our economy.
 
Futures are plunging hard. This is why gold and silver are rising. The game may be changing, but it's too soon to be sure.
 
Futures have retraced the bulk of initial losses. Precious metal has retraced some of its gains. Not surprising in this market. We can never be sure what to expect when events are occurring.
 
So, futures are relatively flat now. Is a rally on tap? Would it be a surprise if we get one? NAAIM was bullish last week. Grab your popcorn.

Friday's action saw the market turn back down again as market participants reacted to geopolitical events.

The charts remain bullish nonetheless. It will take significant selling pressure to shift the upside trend, which I don't think is likely. Not when the CB is being forced to monetize debt and keep their banks afloat.

The CBOE is leaning bullish for Monday. TRINQ remains bullish. Cumulative breadth dipped, but remains bullish.

We'll have to see how geopolitical events unfold and the degree of influence it exerts on the markets moving forward. It would not be out of character for the market to turn higher on perceived bad news, so be careful not to assume the market will react to bad news in a logical way. As we begin 2020, expect significant events to line up one after the other as we head toward the November elections. All the stops have been pulled politically and it is do or die for many. I only bring this up because there is risk, but that risk could be to the upside as well as the downside.

I remain bullish.

I posted the above on Jan 4th. Note what I said about geopolitical events and how the market may turn higher on perceived bad news. Futures plunged last night and are now pointing to a moderately higher open. Perfect example of what I indicated might happen. It's very possible that the market takes off to the upside over the days ahead. Not a prediction, just a hunch.
