    My theory says a 2950 test has to happen sometime in the future--so entering at 2900 is acceptable

    It was Powell vs China today.

    Love the reasoning for the visa restrictions. We can't just say it is part of the trade war. Who can even pronounce Xinjiang?

    I did some research to find video of the comedian that said "War is God's way of teaching us geography", and it's here in the first minute. (warning: thread crossover from the cocktail lounge)


    The interweb is trying to give credit for this quote to Mark Twain, but it's not in any of his written work.

    Ok. All out long. I exited at SPX 2923 for profit taking. Now, hopefully, it collapses yet again!

    In this volatile environment, I believe in profit taking over "investing"

    Looks like the best hope for the market on trade would be a mini deal or tariffs to be delayed . Expectations are pretty low so I wouldn’t be surprised to see us rallying a little bit on any good news :p

    If it collapses to non-above SPX 2900, I'm going to jump in again long!

    The Chinese delegation to the trade talks are leaving early, going by Thursday. Hopes are taking a hit, /ES to 2888.

    Looking at SPX futures, 3 hours after the cash market closed. The SPX is at 2885. I'll have to look again at my charts and see when exactly it would make sense to enter long.

    I had mentioned my theory says the SPX would test 2950. It hit 2948. I had hoped for the collapse to 2880 and then I could have gotten in for this ride to 2950. Oh, well. Maybe next time
