    Vroom vroom, baby.....

    I may be nibbling today, but who knows.
  • Powell is going to have to come out and say something "nice" today. Can't let our glorious markets fall too far.
  • Jeez I hate BloombergTV+ ... all I want is the TV stream, not all the data flipping around everywhere which makes the TV video (and charts/data they present) hard to read. And I refuse to pay BBG to stream *just* that feed from their website. smh
  • Try this. Seems to be in sync with BloombergTV+, but without the plus. Also a slight lag, and the numbers (prices) on the video don't exactly match TV+; they seem to be really live, updated by the few second lag time. The magic of modern technology?

    Ahhh I forgot about BNN - yes it's 'almost' live which is fine by me, and it's just the TV feed w/o data. Thanks for the reminder!!

    (I was doing it thru Fubu and/or other streaming platforms)
  • All the fundamentals go out the door
    Survival modes
  • @johnN. If anyone was even remotely looking at the fundamentals they would have been all cash a long time ago...

    I get your point though..

    Now we might find out what happens when all the indexers head for the exists at once... could get exponential the wrong way quickly...I e., circuit breakers might get triggered..

    Y'all who are speaking to stepping in based on speculation of rate cuts might be reading it wrong..who knows if rate cuts retrigger speculation specifically when risk adverse is the current vibe..

    I'm looking for another few days of massive flush, then clearing rally and then the bigly who's your daddy schmeissing...

    Be careful, you could lose a year's salary in a week or so if you're not careful...

    Good luck to All

  • Added to some CEF's this morning after the toilet started to refill but otherwise just mostly watching.
  • @rforno, It seems to be a YouTube channel. How could you tell it is BNN? Can I watch when I am out of the country?

    The 'ticker' made me think it was BNN b/c it looked similar. But it might just be the data-free Bloomie feed streamed to YouTube ... so maybe I mis-spoke earlier.

    (BNN does run a modified Bloomie feed too, btw.)

    Per WSJ- hardly a "crash", but certainly a tech correction:

    S&P 500 -2.02%
    DJIA -1.92%

    Technology -4.63%

    and! ... DJT -8.56%
  • If you choose to walk to the door of the article link, be careful where you step; as there are a lot of loose screws on the floor!

    Trump blames Harris for markets downturn.
    “Stock markets are crashing, job numbers are terrible, we're heading towards World War III, and we have two of the most incompetent "leaders" in history. This is not good!,” Trump posted in capital letters.
    Story, if you're interested in the whole spew.
  • Me thinks one is going to need hip waders to get through this.
  • Maybe a boat !?
  • Hey someone asked me politely to not get deep into the politics on this board...so I'll sit this thread out

    Good health and good luck to all

  • I’ve been reading the lastest book by Lawrence McDonald, “ How to Listen When Markets Speak: Risks, Myths, and Investment Opportunities in a Radically Reshaped Economy”.

    Very interesting, a cautionary tale. Very worthwhile…particularly now.

    Just placed a HOLD on that one at my local library.

    Futures are up nicely AH. Lets see if that holds tomorrow.

    Need some more of this here downside volatility stuff. The dippers have to get scared, and we aren't there yet.
  • That BB feed @msf linked is all red. Anybody got a green one?
  • Sorry, not today!

    I've posted this numerous times. Save the site. It's reliable for a good reference.
    FINVIZ futures
  • @catch22 - Thx. Looking better.
  • My outsourced assets are all red, including the one bond fund that had not seen red forever, no one protected me today. I have a couple of greens in my own trading. The equity land was not a complete wash out today, there were a lot of stock in the greens. So, today was not the wash out one may have hoped for. Tomorrow is another day.

    FINVIZ futures

    Hi Catch,

    Do you mind adding FinViz to the OP in your Rotation City thread? Thanks
  • Hi @BaluBalu
    I copied the Finviz link to the Rotation thread.
    Good Evening.

    As to my post and the statement:
    Trump blames Harris for markets downturn.
    “Stock markets are crashing, job numbers are terrible, we're heading towards World War III, and we have two of the most incompetent "leaders" in history. This is not good!,” Trump posted in capital letters.
    I do not separate an individual(s) from making such an inflammatory statement; be they a large bank CEO, the head of a brokerage firm, a person of prominence related to the investing world, or any other prominent person in the U.S.

    Any and all such statements that might affect my investments are worthy of comment.

    The person and statement noted happens to be a politician.

    Any direct political oriented opinions should exist in the 'Off Topic' section of this forum.
  • Some people seem to have a lot of trouble separating facts from political propaganda. For example:

    • Political Propaganda: What Trump said.
    • Fact: That Trump said it.
  • If you are quoting the orange one, its got to be for either 1) shock value or 2) a laugh.
