Serious mode on:

with predictions of the s&p500 hitting 7007 in 2025 one has to wonder if the MAGA agenda is a bunch of gum flapping hot air. i mean, igniting a global trade war does not seem to jive with a 16% rise from these already optimistic levels.

I have over 500 skydives from airplanes including 3 times from a hovering helicopter and twice from a balloon.. I guess "terrifying" is not in range of perspectives..:)

Skydiving did not cure my fear of heights though.. I had to take up climbing along with a few spectacular falls to overcome that.

Now that’s a spectacular fall.

I haven't been here in a while and was just checking to see if the top was in yet. I've been in cash since the bottom in 2020 and have been waiting for an opportunity to get back in.

Cha-ching! I sold 3 covered calls on IWM because I read here a couple weeks ago that the top was in. Those calls are on track to expire worthless today, so I'm about to make $1,340. Because the top is in, my short calls are basically free cash.

This thread is making me money and you all need to listen or you'll miss out.

I’m not worried about the top at all, because I went to all cash on April 11th 2017, the start of this thread.  Because top was in and you are all idiots for doubting our beloved leader thorstach.

The market is just now realizing a rate cut on December 18 is not as certain as once thought. Fedwatch odds are down from 98% yesterday to 93% today.

Both CPI and PPI came in hot this week, building upon a 5 month trend of rising inflation. Next week will be bumpy because TTII.

Very interesting article. If it weren't for the waffle words at the end, I'd think it was saying that the top is in.

You wouldn't be implying that Powell (or anyone for that matter) knows more than @thorstach would you?

I retired like six years ago.  The top was in before that, and yet somehow I'm richer now than I was then.  I'm beginning to think maybe thorstach doesn't really know what he's talking about.

Now the top is in!

Top is so in.. Remind me of Christmas week 2018.. I think the S&P dropped like 20% in that week!.. Barely remember it now.

Google tells me it was only 9%.. Maybe it felt like 20..:)
