Well, the bulls are off and running again. After enduring a tiny bear market from November 11 2021 until June 16 2022, they’ve been enjoying basically straight-up ever since. The start of 2025 is no exception, as the /NQ is up hundreds of points and the /ES executed a nearly 100 point blast-off from yesterday’s lows (and, by the way, these cleaved weeks are completely screwing with my head; I am fully convinced today is Monday).
At 1:45 in the morning, Coda’s spirit left us. I was sleeping next to her, and she woke me up to say goodbye. There was peace and calm as I held her head in my hands, and she breathed her last.
Good-bye, sweet, sweet girl.
I will be occupied for a while with family matters.
The combination of a massive options expiration today as well as (once again) shameless compromise in D.C. are yielding a huge triple-digit buy-fest on /ES and /NQ. Below is the /ES. Early today, I trimmed some positions, but I definitely have a vastly fatter portfolio at the open than right now! This will blow over soon enough.
Over the course of my adult life, I have had seven dogs. Four are no longer with us, but three of them still are. One of them is a bubble-headed purebred cotons, one is a wily trickster we found hiding under a truck in the Mojave desert, and the big black one……..well, she’s my favorite.
Her name is Coda, and those of you who have watched my tastylive program have probably heard her snoring loudly in the background. She’s a love, and a very good girl.
