Haha. Just showing my appreciation for all the great commentary/analysis that you bring to these weekly threads! It's like old time man. So glad you are back this year.
I agree. I remember when we had so much analysis it turned into flame wars several times a week. Good times. Good times.
This is why I went long and short today. I was short and bought back my short after that first really long candle wick, that was right after Trump's press conference. Then, when it went down again, I went short again and it went back up again. Quickly bought back and sat for a few. Then after that 3rd long candle which, where the blue arrow is, I went long again, sold near the top, and went short at the yellow arrow. All in all, worked out to a measly $30.00 gain. Had I sold when I saw the market was down 8.00 points, I'd have had a much better day.
$NUGT$JNUG I wonder how many traders are gonna kick themselves for selling during the dump yesterday.

Delta also said it should see profit margins begin to expand once again during the second half of this year, and that passenger revenue should be flat to up two percent this quarter.

Walt Disney — Pivotal Research downgraded Disney to "sell" from "hold," and cut its price target to $86 from $102. The firm cites an increasing cost of capital, and also notes soft TV audience trends and the erosion of ESPN's subscriber base. Twitter — Pivotal also downgraded Twitter To "hold" from "buy," citing the higher cost of capital, as well as a decreasing likelihood that the company will receive a buyout offer. Boeing — Boeing was rated "underperform" in new coverage at RBC Capital, pointing to what it calls "underappreciated headwinds" including margin pressure created by new commercial platforms.

Toyota — The automaker said company President Akio Toyoda met with Vice President-elect Mike Pence in Washington earlier this week, amid calls by the incoming administration to build more cars in the US. Amazon.com — Amazon's Canadian unit will pay a nearly $757,000 fine to settle a probe by that country into pricing. Canadian officials had said the Amazon website gave inaccurate data on how much consumers would save on given items. Fiat Chrysler — The automaker has a "significantly greater than 50 percent" chance of hitting its 2018 financial targets, according to Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne. He made his comments in a meeting with Wall Street analysts. Volkswagen — The company's cash flow is sufficient to fund its $4.3 billion settlement with the U.S. Justice Department over its diesel emissions scandal, according to a Dow Jones report.

That's according to a Swiss newspaper, which said a review by the country's takeover board is still going on. Broadcom — Broadcom completed the largest corporate bond deal of the new year, selling $13.55 billion in new debt.

Fitbit — The Financial Times reports that the fitness device maker was interested in acquiring rival Jawbone's assets last month, but the talks fell apart after Fitbit's offer price was deemed insufficient. The paper said Jawbone is now close to securing funds from a new investor. Have a good trading day to everyone in here on this Thursday!
I'm benefiting from this down move but not nearly as much as I could be had I sold some future call options. Ah well. If we get a 3% plus down move, I'll sell some puts.
Anyone else having problems with CNBC?. It keeps pausing after a minute or too...If not then it is probably my service
down day. but my account is up....barely , labu is putting in work today lol, glad i got back in yesterday, bac and amd slamming me right now.
Wazzup fools? Been a long time since I last looked at the markets. Is anyone seriously investing in this market anymore? Earnings don't seem half bad lately, but P/E just keeps creeping up and up and up.. I'm always thinking "they can't keep getting away with this", but it has been this way for about three years now. And all this on the back of the dollar being over 100. Beyond that, volatility looks absolutely nonexistent the past few months. Looks like brokers are raping day traders with commission so people can struggle to scalp a few handles. Some S&P analysis I guess..... daily chart looks like a very poor high around the ATH's.. my guess is we back off from that level to around 2200 before making another run higher.
ETRM not getting the volume any more. Couple of gaps below it. Looks like AVXL is setting up for something.
