Not a great start to the day....even though all the actual news is good for investors. I think we are seeing more BACKLASH from the POWELL story impacting the markets today as the media continues to try to fear-monger and dramatize as many clicks as possible from this IRRELEVANT story. I start today with a single GREEN stock.....GOOGL. Here is the markets so far: S&P 500, Dow, Nasdaq mixed as CPI inflation eases, JPMorgan kicks off earnings https://finance.yahoo.com/news/live...es-jpmorgan-kicks-off-earnings-234952160.html S&P 500 is little changed as traders assess earnings, latest inflation data https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/12/stock-market-today-live-updates.html As usual good news.....the CPI.....is ignored and twisted into a down market. Too bad the markets can not just RELAX and go with the obvious. BUMMER.
I will be leaving in about an hour to take care of some business today. So as usual lately....I will miss most of the day......YEA. There is NOTHING out of the ordinary going on anyway and the markets are GOLDEN......even if no one wants to see it.....especially short term. One of the most disrespected and second-guessed bull market in history. Although this constant massive wall of worry is probably a good thing.....at least for us little people....that simply hang on and ride the wave for the long term.
