Market watchers are mixed on today's action: Oversold, technical bounce (again), end of quarter portfolio dressings...purely a guessing game to me today.
To that end...IMO, it was another in a brief series of dead cat bounces, but warmly received by this investor who decided to significantly reduce his stock allocation today.
@Crash- I'm sorry... I just checked in with "the administration" and find that you are not cleared for that level of information. Something about "persona non grata", I believe.

I was down a tiny fraction, but I've not received monthly dividends, yet, though. New money will be poured into MMkt, until there's a serious change in the investing climate.
@Crash, the secret's out. Per WaPo's Catherine Rampell:
"Trump has already “liberated” his country from the inconvenience of due process or expectations of civil rights. But his freedom crusade escalates this week, when he shall also “liberate” America from affordable cars, a stable economy and its closest allies."
Though I did not lose money today, looking at some of the negative marks in my portfolio and marks in other parts of the market, I would say today was a risk off day, notwithstanding the strong close for the three major indices. I am sure the beginning of the day my portfolio probably was deeply in the red.
It would be good to know the stock sale trades, if any, of Congress persons. I see some buys from them. I am assuming the administration, especially senior personnel, all sold their stock holdings months ago.

Thanks. Can we get HIM to stop winning so much, by now????? ORK.

@JD. Me too. I am looking forward to Liberation Day with greater anticipation than I would the Super Bowl. I will be up extra early …. Who will take the over on 20% ?

So very looking forward to our "liberation" and the smooth, calm seas that surely lie ahead.
