Breakout Test

By -

Good morning, everyone. Well, quite a weekend, wasn’t it? I’m glad I wasn’t traveling by plane. Are people really this surprised that Trump actually is doing what he said he was going to do?

All I can say for those who are freaked out by just a single week of this man’s tenure…..it’s going to get wayyyyyyyyyy worse.

The silver lining, of course, is that he could completely wreck the equity markets while doing so, and this morning we’re off to a bit of progress. It won’t really count, however, until and unless we break beneath the green tinted area I’ve shown below.
