11:34 (US) Treasury Sec Yellen: Feel quite good about strength of US economy - Q1 negative GDP print was a negative sign; Final sales grew 3% last quarter I feel is a better read on strength of economy - America is outperforming other countries - Inflation is too high and needs to be brought...

I am quite surprised as well, considering that report. Might look to take a position if we have some panic selling after FOMC.

I honestly think the 50bp is irrelevant at this point. The big uncertainty is the pace of balance sheet reductions. The Q&A will likely be the most volatile part of this. Also, keep in mind: if you are trying to make trades post-FOMC announcements, the initial move has often reversed in the...

You mean this dip?

Because the truth is, you never know where the bottom is. We could have put it in yesterday and never see this price again.. or, we could add 5% lower and drop another 10% further after that. I stated yesterday to someone asking about their annual IRA contribution that the SPY 410 level was...

10 year yield ticking over 3%

I think we are in a really good spot here. We are tryting to hold the year's low of ~410 SPY. That is a pretty good entry. Keep in mind, we do have FOMC rate hike Weds. There could be volatility over the next few days. If I were in your shoes (long time horizon). I would probably fill half...

10:04 (US) FINRA proposes limiting access to leveraged and inverse ETFs FINRA's Regulatory Notice 22-08 includes a solicitation of comments on investors' ability to trade "complex products"—including leveraged and inverse funds ("L&I Funds"). In its notice, FINRA articulates the "concern" that...

SPY just punched through the year's lows here premarket. Long way till the open, but I would not be surprised we see more panic. Also note: FOMC Tues-Weds.

The transaction hasnt completed yet. There is an agreement, but no closure yet. Can Musk use stuff like this to walk from the deal?

Not quite stock related, but moves the markets. Readng through the headlines, I found this kind of hilarious (in a dark way):

3B MOC sale

The thing with active trading (day / swings) is that it IS a fulltime job. You're constantly refining a strategy, constantly chart reading, digging through fundamentals. Then your're tackling trading psychology and reading books on that. You're still going to take gut punches that set you back...

SPY / QQQ sold that opening bounce hard. Yikes.

Re Archegos: portfolio from $1.5 billion to $35 billion in a single year. What a hustle.

Just nvm.. i am all kinds of confused.

GOOG and MSFT both misses. Waiting guides

By far, the biggest macro threat currently isnt the big bad Fed meeting next week, it is the risk of companies writing off Q1 Russia / Ukraine exposure and guiding lower for the year. Some companies will have little, if any exposure. Some have already said from 3-9% revenues depending on the...

And re my thought process.. the slow bleeds across the indexes are hard to buy into. It is far easier buying into quick volatile emotional selling into very specific support levels. The VIX is starting to get moving. I'd ideally like a big volume panic sell event to really dig in. You want the...

We are basically at lows of yesterday. Nothing really to report that is any different for buys. The fact we completely reversed yesterday's bounce attempt in a single day is pretty damn bearish though. I feel we either double bottom bounce today, or we are headed straight to Feb 24 lows of 410...

fill of TSLA at the 200D $901

Well, see everyone at the bottom!

Because there is still the risk of Musk pulling out? The board simply agreed to the sale. It has NOT closed ("expected to close in 2022") Regulation can step in too? *shrug* There is a non 0 sum risk involved still. Markets are discounting that.
