    SPX finished in slight red, got it right in the daily poll contest although I didn't think it would be such a close call :p

    @stock1234

    not exempted indefinitely

    "While there is not currently a timetable, the exemptions for Canada and Mexico "are not open-ended" and will depend on whether changes are made to NAFTA that satisfy Trump, the official added. The proclamations also can be amended in other ways "to preserve our national security.""

    ^^ i wonder if we might be back to our good 'ole BTFD market again after today :p

    i really thought we might retest the feb. lows but looks like that may not happen ... we'll have to see ... meanwhile small caps looking like they want to push for new ATHs next. :eek: only about another 1% away while the others still are a couple % away.
