Interesting action today, weakness almost on que... for how long and to what degree?

 

[Mcqlives]

IMO...it all completely depends on what passes, or doesn't, in congress. Earnings and other traditional market indicators are already priced in. Markets just need to know what the baseline will be next year and will respond accordingly.

Futures are back up, wondering if yesterday will be the only post holiday weakness we'll see. The senate vote on the tax plan looms... we may see downward pressure as we get closer if the spoilers hold out.

 

[Whipsaw]

Just when you count on the spoilers to muck things up, the tax reform bill moves to the senate floor!

 

[Whipsaw]

OK, so I missed yesterday's run up, but did catch a good run the week before. Much optimism on the tax bill, I will likely move back in today (hopefully the vote won't be today), I think Senate passage will kick off the Mother of all Santa Rallys.

Much strength indicated in the Weekly S-Fund chart.

Yeah I'm kicking myself for bailing last Friday, but still happy with the returns I made. Congress is doing what I expected, bickering and fighting as they jockey their positions for some quid pro quo in exchange for a yes vote. Surprised that the market has acted positively to all the negative noise.

So now I must sit until 1 December as I am out of IFT's until then. Been hearing a vote will be taken tomorrow so that may play out very well.

100% S-Fund, COB 29 Nov

 

[Whipsaw]

Well, here's one incident to add some color to the markets... Sticky pants! Full POWER! :laugh:

Maybe the tax reform bill will pull us out of this... I need to rebalance... didn't I just say that? :1244:

 

[Whipsaw]

Holy bottoming tail Batman! Major hammer... can a hammer be negative, or does that have to be a positive close? At any rate, S fund down .25% on the day. All things considered, I'll take it.

 

[Robo5555]

That's funny Whipsaw. I'll take it too.

FUTURES ARE UUUUUUPPPP!!!!

 

[Whipsaw]

OK, hanging tight... so much for the MOASR, its still early yet. One of the morning market radio reports pointed to rotation in stocks out of the weakening tech stocks, that much of the bull market fundamentals hadn't changed.

I've been disappointed in the small caps lagging of late, but am holding tight going into the Santa Rally as they should out perform, based in part on this assessment from our own Rev Shark (at the end, I think he's referring to small caps and not bitcoin):

Futures are UP!

 

[Whipsaw]

Happy New Year everyone! Here's to a successful and fulfilling year :beerchug: wishing everyone many happy returns! While I didn't crush my returns this past year, not disappointed at at all either. Looking for continued growth this year with the tax cuts going through. I thought I was in a good spot on the tracker, then another 1500 or so players were added in! :-/ My Personal Investment Performance (PIP) for the past 12 months ending 11/30/2017 is 12.85%.

Futures are UP!

 

[Whipsaw]

Hows that for opening day! Yeah BABY!

Starting to get a little torqued at the S-Fund... looking at shifting over to the C, but not sure I want to burn the IFT.

I am thinking the same thing, but it seems that every time I try something like that it bites me in the pocketbook.
