Picked up a bunch of shares of UA while it was under 9, as well as a LEAP $10c. KSS coming in so hot gives me hope that they'll bounce a bit in the next few months.

This is basically numerology, but I also picked up a SPY 7/17 240p basically to hold over the weekend on the premise that historically, S&P falls day after Easter.



edit: I probably should have waited until the end of the day :(

Holding off on doing anything today. My trading signals say to go long on the next pullback but it just feels wrong that the market is going up. I kept trying to short the market yesterday with the same logic (with my signals saying go long) and got burned pretty bad by it.

248 to 280 took four days. If we continue to just not have red days at all, we might be there next week.

Hell, 290 today is not outside the realm of possibility.

All while the actual economy is falling apart. It would be a wonder to behold of I weren't actively bleeding money on shorts.

These are my exact sentiments. At this point, my puts are so far in the red it doesn't even matter, and everything keeps climbing. I'm going to play to this dumb game with some calls for the next week and see how it shakes out.

To me, sentiment on reddit and this thread looks like people being fearful (of an April regression) while Wall St. and the rich are being greedy (e.g. GS advice to its rich clients, the latest DIX numbers).

Meanwhile the fed gives unlimited trillions to anything except directly buying stocks, which it cannot, legally. For now.

Stock market != the economy. The stock market is just an impression/interpretation of what the economy is (or should preferably be).

This is not the straight up I expected actually from 2.3T being injected into the Russell 2000. The OPEC meeting is today, though, news of a deal from there would really get things moving up.

JPow was just asked on live TV if there "was any limit to how much money the Fed can lend or create" before bad things happen

He dodged the question for a bit and then said "we can keep doing that" and "there's no limit of how much of that we can do"

immediate follow-up asked about inflation

JPow blew it off, referring go GFC of '08. Full MMT response. "not a first-order concern for us"

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT A NUMBER OF THINGS
So we have an impending recession that looks like it’ll be worse than anything since the Great Depression and the market is roughly halfway back to its highest point ever after its recent crash.

I guess the question is how long can the fed keep throwing money at poo poo? What happens when companies start to realise that efficiency and performance hardly matters because the fed will buy up your lovely junk bonds to keep you from going bankrupt? What breaks the cycle here?

Hyperinflation or the disconnection of the dollar from the world economy, either of which will make the 2008 recession look like good times.

JPow is answering those questions on live TV right now

He said he'll do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. Literally his only constraint is the law, which does not exactly impose tight constraints.
