Pre-Markets this morning greed is definitely in.(65)

Close to all time highs another false peak in our future before the race towards the bottom?
Money is not the only stash eaten by rats.....

Current values are merely the cloudy dream of those marijuana-addled rats, projected somehow onto our lying computer screens. Reality will come crashing through shortly; top is obviously in.

If you are always wearing your "Top is In!" glasses the markets always look red.

Poor suckers thought they were going to end the day with more money, this morning it was up-now its just down down down.......  The 23 May 2024 TOP, IS IN!



The morning greed was the leading indicator, currently its ( 54) neutral, perhaps fear will return.

I don't know about this greed indicator.  Can you give me an indicator as to when I should sell all my equities to greedy people right at the TOP and when I can buy them all back from fearful people right at the BOTTOM?  Thanks

[serious aside]

I think they're referring to the Fear/Greed index which I think is put out by the New York Times on their website.  I looked at how it's built once and it seems to be just a mediocre momentum indicator which is of zero use to me.

ETA:  Whoops, it's actually CNN.  See below.

[/serious aside]

Obviously XIV is breaking down, whatever that is.

SP500 was at 4742 at the beginning of the year.
It is now at 5277 (11% higher).
We have 147 trading days left in 2024, out of 251 (58% to go!).
So, I can confidently predict the top will be at the end of 2025 and it will be at 6015!

On Dec 31 I’m selling everything and burying cash in the backyard in coffee cans.

Everyone knows that when the fiat currency based investments tank that crypto is the only truly secure store of wealth. The top is never in when you have diamond hands!

Once the memes start, you know people are serious!  I watched 'Roaring Kitty' livestream his GME position today, dude lost $200M on paper and was cool as a cucumber.  Thorstach now has a competitor for worst investing 'mistake' I've ever seen...

I'm imagining a reality TV series where finance bros have to maintain a portfolio over a season for a prize. The show would,  of course, be called The Top Is In.

And the guy who participates by putting everything in VTSAX and then going golfing is the one only one left by the end of the season.

I was waiting for my put options to expire, at which point the market will mock me by falling the next day.

But according to the golden arches, the top is already in.

04:36 PM EDT, 06/12/2024 (MT Newswires) -- The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite closed at record highs Wednesday for the third straight session as consumer inflation cooled more than expected in May, while the Federal Reserve's updated outlook indicated one rate cut this year, down from three forecast in March.

Top is in?
Not to worry. Today I hedged my QQQ-centric portfolio, taking advantage of lopsided pricing in the options market during these low-VIX times (i.e. calls being much more expensive than puts at an equal distance from today's price).

My trades can only mean stocks will return +30% in the next 12 months. This has always been the pattern when I've hedged in the past and while this thread has been contemplating whether the Top is In. Both conditions are true today. To the moon we you all go.
