The time shift is still making my sleep cycle crazy, so I’m getting up at 2 a.m., wondering what to do. Why not………..SlopeCharts? Sure.
Here’s an interesting one. It shows an overlay of the SPY with the S&P 500 earnings. (Click on it for a super-big version). Pretty cool, in my opinion.
From a time when I agreed 100% with the man:
After two solid years of bluster, nonsense, misdirection, lies, and – – just to bring Joe Biden into the picture – – malarkey – – not one single paragraph, sentence, word, or punctuation mark of any kind of China Trade Deal has been signed. The only thing I’ve mentioned more frequently than “There Will Not Be a Deal” is the fact that I’ve said “There Will Not Be a Deal” before. I just want to be clear.

(more…)As I had hoped, I am “4 for 4” on profitable days this week, in spite of all the insanity. On every one of those four days, I was showing a loss (sometimes a deep one), but my shorts healed themselves nicely. As the ES below shows, this market has become all smoke, no fire.
