    Power Hour!!!!!

    I've been thinking to myself, I should probably buy some protective puts for whatever news is going to come out tonight about Tariffs or Trade War or Donnie's Amazon beef.

    Kudlow is relatively smart, sure he was wrong about the recession, but the guy knows his stuff, and he knows very well that Trump's plans are bad, but I suspect that he needs to go along with it and "earn" his place in the administration first before he can start dictating to Trump.

    spx avg. daily move breaks over +/-1% for the first time in 2 years

    it's amazing to me that we were only at an avg. daily move of +/-0.22% just a few months ago and these +/-1% moves were completely nonexistent :eek:

    2017 was definitely an unusual year ... 2018 is a little more like what we should be seeing in a "normal" market.

    I'd actually like a collapse to that 2600 level before really testing that 2700 level--a good buying opportunity for those who are averaging in. I had mentioned before: 2550 to 2600 = a strong buy zone and 2600 to 2650 a not unattractive buy zone for many
