Shortly after the market closed futures jumped up which puzzled me cuz Trump had announced opening the government hours earlier. Could it be because of this story at 3:59pm?: :thinking:

Along with the Fed meeting this week there's a lot of earnings reports coming out as well. Should be interesting. Seems like no hike expected. No surprises please!

Stock market bulls look to put faith in Fed as earnings continue to roll in

(File under 'slow learner') Note to self: Remember to place sell limit orders on stocks you hold BEFORE earnings reports come out just in case there's bad news and your stock takes a header. Rinse, lather, repeat until learned. :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Good article but I don't agree, with what happened last year. I guess it went against the odds. January was positive and February was negative.

Good read. Even more evidence the 200 is so important. Everyone should have their finger on the trigger either way for sure.

Potential drama?:

Feels like a stock market in search of a direction. :1244:

That's to be expected I think with it bumping up against the 200 DMA. I didn't expect to see it cut through like a knife through butter as we have been seeing so far. I expect a lot more resistance here. The question is will it move sideways or head back down. :suspicious:
