buy and hold is my plan...

wasn't it too long ago it was4400 ?

IMO the market is still overvalued. I would rather see a gradual decline as outlined in the chart above then a drastic crash.

about 3 years ago

i am still of the opinion, the war, thus high oil prices, will be short lived. If ground troops are deployed, that sentiment will change.

I’m one that would rather see it fall fast, it comes from the ag world, let the market fall fast and find a bottom quick then the rebuild can happen.

Well, these are the current headlines: Trump Weighs Military Operation to Extract Iran’s Uranium

Sitting here watching the futures. Crude is ticking up, all three indices are ticking down.

I hope he doesn't. Keep destroying targets and let the Iranians clean up the regime remnants.

three years ago,..is that concerning?,..I don't know,..i'm still learning,..my thoughts are it is still an upward trend?

Whatever happens the market will be in turmoil. There is just no clear direction for the economy.

It will be ugly tomorrow. And likely all next week, (no Friday trading). I am hoping Trump says SOMETHING positive, and is believable enough to be interpreted by the market as time for the TACO trade, thus creating a dead cat bounce that will allow me to exit a few positions that were short term oriented, but with the likely price of oil in the intermediate future considerably higher than what I hoped, are not positions I want to be in at this time.
Unless something really big, such as say 50 tankers sail through the straight un-molested, and believable negotiations are headline, I will not be buying anything next week.

Grains are up metals are down a pretty good guess the funds have moved to the grains to make up some lost money and safe haven for inflation.

the economy should relax , take a breath,,..we can pull out at any time and claim victory,.our only purpose now is to ensure a free flowof oil on the world market.

I’d be crying in my beer if I had to rely on the stock market any time soon. It’s going down and will continue to go down until the Strait of Hormuz is pass-able again. And the president stops committing support for all the skirmishes around the world. The US is well over $25 trillion in the hole. We are a debtor nation with no end in sight. Let’s stop coming up with excuses to spend and get our financial house in order before China, India etc start cashing in their bonds and we have nothing to give them.

Our projection on the world stage is not one of indecison,it serves no purpose , we have goals and we will accomplish those!

Feel free to exhalt it in it's exhoberance , it will pay dividens.

you do realize we are winning?

Im buying on the way down. No clue where the bottom is but hold white knowledge in as high regard as possible. Darn privileged to know him.

Privileged to know the t man crew infact. Have some i considered great friends even though they may not realize it.

Oddly... futures seem to be improving a bit. Not sure why.....

Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.....sayeth Buffet. It apppears the time to buy is approaching, if not here already.

Buffett never advocated buying anything simply because it was going down due to fear alone. Never.
