Dow set to surge more than 350 points at the open as China’s Xi alleviates trade war fears

In the grand scheme of things yesterday wasn't too bad. Not good, but not that bad either. I'm still positive for the month, barely, and if the market cooperates I might even get out of negative territory for the year.
 
Well I'm inching closer to my 2017 finish. But I'm 5.7% below my high for 2018. Maybe if I'm lucky I can get that back before the end f the year. Sure don't want to get greedy. Still at 40,30,30 CSI.

Hey, Nasa !!!

Thought about you this past week...we were in Orlando for a Jimmy Buffett and Eagles concert, and had a day to kill...so we went to the Kennedy Space Center !!! Wife and I grew up in Florida, and said we hadn't been there since the Gemini Program ! OK....maybe a slight exaggeration... :rolleyes:

Had a blast !!! Lots of things for the youngsters to do, but plenty of stuff to interest us geezers, too, AND bring back a TON of memories of the space program...

Too fun !!! :D
