There is a selloff going on in both stocks and bonds. There is also
something of a stock rout in China.

As I've pointed out many times, even though 90 years have passed,
nobody has ever figured out why the panic of 1929 occurred on October
28, rather than a few months earlier or later.

I've often wondered if it had something to do with the fact that
October 28 was about seven weeks past the end of the third quarter.
During those seven weeks, Q3 corporate earnings are published, and
there is time for hopes and dreams of investors to die, and to realize
that the earnings are not nearly as high as they had hoped. Hence
they panic.

So right now we're at around seven weeks past the end of Q4. So the
volatility in different markets could be a sign that some sort of
panic is occurring. Whether it's the "big one" remains to be seen,
but the high volatility indicates that some sort of anxiety is playing
a part.

Smashed the bots for $325 and am out. I'm not short. Will post results in the morning.
While the periphery breaks down rather slowly at first, the capital cities of the hegemon should collapse suddenly and violently.

Researchers have found a critical vulnerability, CVE-2021-21148, in Google Chrome.
We recommend addressing it as soon as possible because cybercriminals are already exploiting it.

Hell of a navigation H.

It should be no surprise that the teach-heavy index is tumbling as hedgies are forced to sell their most liquid and
largest holdings to meet risk/margin needs on the other side of the ledger. tyler

Markets are fragile, there is a real chance for quaking to come soon in March.

In a previous recent post I stated that I had a head and shoulders down to 3835 on the S&P 500. That happened as forecast.
We now have 3820 as a support level and 3900 as a resistance. The market is also below the 15 EMA which is now 3872, so with potential weakness ahead.
My hunch is that there is whats called a "gap" at 3780 and my current prediction is that the market will head there.
I suspect that this market favours declines but no indication of crash yet.
Reasonably clear that the market is seeing greater risk; dollar seems to be turning stronger, clearly still seen as safe haven, could have a strong run while market declines

The other possibility is that in a volatile over reaction the market makes another all time high and then sets about declining and finally crashing. This may be more likely that the view I expressed above. Time will tell

He finally decides to take the poet who gives the best advice about how to save the city.
Euripides gives cleverly worded but essentially meaningless answers while Aeschylus provides more practical advice,

Dialectical materialism called Hollywood for a simple example.
Logic is as a Weinstein is forgiven at the border as sexual predators excused at Xiden's open border.
You voted for complete evil of imbeciles.

GOP voters aren't forgetting as filth hardens over the land.

Guy forwards Idaho could be cut off and no one would care as they await 86 billion of tax dollars in the pension guaranteed trust.
Between stupidity and delusional cult worshipers we have democrats dressed as demsheviks.

While talk of accountability is encouraging, bringing unruly leaders to heel is often complex, time consuming, and fraught with obstacles.
Still courageous Americans are motivated to recapturing their rights, lives, and livelihoods.
They know who took them, and it was not Trump.
