Whipsaw's Account Talk

Yes WS! And futures are up for tomorrow too! Very nice rally today. Appears Santa is still delivering toys... dang, I thought it was over.... Ira Epstein says Santa Rally often stays until 1/3 to 1/7 in the new year. hum bug... :suspicious: ....now you tell me! ...lol...Actually I already knew that... but my charts said to exit so I had to. But looks like a quick reversal and folks moving money into markets. Ira Epstein says there is still an embedded reading (both lines above 80) on Stochastic. As much as I want to enter, I need to wait until Monday to see what happens when all the "traders" get back.

Will see.....

So, YES hoping to make 2020 a very good year. Gotta stay light on toes. Last year, I was too scared to enter in January after that awful December, and stayed out and was not following strategy, etc... lost out in Spring but then I regrouped and was able to make some coin.

So now what for 2020? I say, stay positive and go for it. Gotta stick with my strategy, as it did work when I followed it. :D

Best wishes to You and Everyone* in your Investments!!!!!! :smile:

I made a little over 11% last January. I don't think that will happen this year. My TSP distribution is a little different this time.
Good luck everyone. Hope todays dip is short lived.

Futures appear to have bottomed at 0400 and are recovering, somewhat...

This drop was just another buying opportunity. :D

Not sure if I asked you in the past, but what agency do you work for in Hampton Roads? I'm on Langley.

But don't tell anybody...:ziplip:
 
After being down 1.5% last night. Unbelievable.

Almost like companies announcing earnings or the Gov putting out numbers. Media has a way of putting a spin on it even if it really isn't good news. CNBC current headline is "Nasdag hits record high after Iran retaliation is less than feared". Makes you wonder how bad it had to be to meet what "was" expected to cause enough fear.

I feel with the Feds intervention if trouble starts with anything i.e political, international, or financial that we have been lulled into a false sense that nothing is ever as bad as it seems and the media runs with it. Had this happened prior to 08 the news wouldn't have reported as "Not as bad as we feared".

Could it be that injection of liquidity --$99B has something to do with market not dropping this morning? Just saw Repo Panic thread that Tom put out. Great comment by James!

Feel like getting in , but charts not saying that plus want to wait to see what President says in a few mins. Humm….
 
I'm not clear on the fed pumping (how much, how long), it's been said on this forum 'don't fight the fed.'

At any rate, not sure about what comes next. Tempted to step aside, but at the same time...

All clear now, everything's good to go, market can keep hitting all time highs

The market isn't making any sense to me right now. With the Iran question on the table I would expect the markets to be tanking. Instead it's being seen as a buying opportunity as panicked sellers get out.
