    Well we didn't exactly rally into the close. Overall still far from a disaster for the bulls, many probably would have thought we would be much deeper in the red today after the warning by AAPL yesterday :p The complacency in the stock market probably will continue as long as investors think the global central banks have their backs no matter how the economy is doing :p

    Yen down huge for whatever reason :eek: Not seeing big drop in bonds or gold though. It remains a BTFD market, AAPL rebounds somewhat today so it is actually not down that much after they issued the warning :p

    looks like we printed a new ATH in the regular hours today on the /ES, took out the monday's globex high pre-aapl warning news. but there wasn't really all that much excess on the top. only 5 ticks of excess from what i'm seeing. not really meaningful excess. so, maybe not done just yet on this rally :p

    i suspect the nazzy and the dj30 want to at least print the big round #'s (30k on dow; 10k on nasdaq) before we really get some kind of meaningful pulback. just my worthless 2c anyway :p

    Yeah I would be very surprised if we don't hit those big round numbers pretty soon :p

    Woke up from my nap and saw that, my portfolio was down -2%, haven't heard anything. Checked the interest rates and nothing big either.

    We are due for a little pullback, I think it was a little silly for us to rally non stop despite the gloomy outlook for the economy at least for Q1:eek:

    Looks like the CNBC article pointing the Chinese media saying the coronavirus cases are increasing as part of the reason for the drop, I tried to find that Chinese article but can’t find it so far :p

    The yen dropping once again :eek: Usually the yen performs well when we have selloff in equities, not the case today. Not sure why, the Japanese economy isn’t doing so hot at this moment so maybe the yen becoming less attractive? :p

    Yup! Negative 6.3% GDP growth announced this week will do that to the Yen.

    absent any true black swans, the next 2 months have historically been the strongest for the full year for the market over the course of the past 20 years

    when all is said and done i think it will be safe to say that this was the most unloved/hated bull market in history.

    as of yesterday's close, we cracked over +400% on this bull that started back in march '09. seems like if we can avoid another technical bear market of -20% on a closing basis, we could challenge the 90s raging bull for the longest and strongest ever in history :p

    US business levels fall sharply amid coronavirus

    The latest IHS Markit/CIPS purchasing managers' index data suggested that services business activity fell to 49.4, from 53.4 in January, while manufacturing output slowed to 50.8, compared to 51.9 in January, a six-month low. Any score below 50 indicates contraction.

    The dollar pulling back a little bit today after these data :eek: Let’s see if we will see some rebound in March but looks like we are on track for a relatively weak Q1 GDP number
