Mid-year update! Now 55 years of convincing reasons why the stock market should go down, superimposed over the 67x increase in the S&P 500 during the same time period (8x when adjusted for inflation). Tariffs are the provisional reason why stocks should have gone down this year.

The only information I need to know the war is going badly for the US #ES #stocks

Happy Women's Day! I'm very proud of my daughter who is a vice president at a biotech company.

Unpopular opinion: The fear-mongering over the C!tr!n! research piece and resulting selloffs of some stocks have stock traders leaning too bearish in the short term. #ES #stocks

"Year-over-year payroll growth outside of [healthcare and social-assistance] turned negative in December for the first time since the last recession. In other words, all of America’s jobs growth now comes from" healthcare.

S&P 500 under its 50-day moving average: The last two excursions below the average on Dec. 17 and Jan. 20 were very brief. In November, the S&P 500 almost touched the lower Bollinger band--a similar event now would take the March ES contract to about 6775 #stocks #marketanalytics

Massive flush-out of weak hands in silver today. #pointandfigure

After 4 1/2 hours of watching the tape, should I check whether there was any news? 🤷‍♀️ #ES #stocks #marketanalytics

The gap down from the S&P 500 Friday close is still not completely closed (6940.01 on the index, 6976.75 on the March ES contract). Zero reason for the S&P 500 to remain below Friday's close, and I expect new all-time highs sooner than later. #ES #stocks #marketanalytics

Is now a good time to joke again that I am a member of the Plunge Protection Team because I always buy in plunges? 😀 #ES #stocks #marketanalytics

The S&P 500 March contract is within striking distance of its 20-day low at 6820. I believe a breach would be bullish, but past performance is no guarantee of future results. #ES #stocks #marketanalytics

My kids' high school classmate @Taylor_Wilson has a podcast, Giant Leap. Well done, with some very understandable explanations of scientific concepts. https://t.co/m2OzCGT9iZ

Watching to see how much supply comes out with the ES March contract at 7000. Otherwise, I think it is onward and upward. #ES #stocks #marketanalytics

Can you say "January effect"? ... as the percentage of NYSE-listed stocks in uptrends rose 2 percentage points today. As Old Man Partridge said, "You know, it's a bull market". #ES #stocks #marketanalytics Yale Hirsch (@AlmanacTrader) first quantified the January effect.

The increasing importance of individual investors, and not in the "dumb money" way they were traditionally viewed by Wall Street: They accounted for 22% of trading volume in October and bought heavily after the stock market's tariff panic in April #stocks
