10 year is at 3.23% today. Was at 2.41% to start 2018.

30 year is at 3.41% today. Was at 2.74% to start 2018.

Even the 5 year is over 3% now, and the 2 years is getting ever-so-close at 2.89% today, a full % higher than to start 2018.

What metric are you talking about?

GDP?

DJIA?


Gay marriages?

M-F-M transgender transformational surgeries?

I have a dream.

A dream of a sane world where we can once again buy 10 year treasuries with yields of 5%.

https://www.macrotrends.net/2016/10-...te-yield-chart

Just hope we get there WITHOUT the fed crashing us into the wall. Again.

Like Polarbear said though....
If the China deal gets done, it'll be up, up, and away.

Uwwww !!! The Gartman contrarian play.....
There could just be some truth to that.
I could go farther back when I spoke about October, but I'm too lazy.
It was about 6 months ago, I do believe.
Not a genius... Just a pseudo technician.

Selling HARD into the close is not a time to go all in.
Figure 8%-10% from the S&P top, and start to feather in at 8%.
I think we are 6% from the top right now, but am just guessing.
Another 2% drop tomorrow, and you are right on the money.

What really scares me right now is the NASDAQ.
That mofo has been selling off hard for a while now.
THat has to mean something, however, I stick by my 8%-10% drop.

I originally said that I'd bail in early October, but it could be sooner, as the market has been on an nice slow retracement from its previous high, and is almost there..
What are your tea leaves saying Polar Bear ?

News Flash...

The stock market is all over the net and local news right now...
It is really close to start buying with both hands.
That is a sure fire indicator for me.
Another 2%-3% and it'll be safe to get fire sale prices.
It could happen very quickly tomorrow.
I sure hope so

I think you're right about this one but am still wondering when the bottom is going to drop out in a big way.

I've been sitting sidelines for over 6 months cash heavy waiting for a good buy opp but not sure this is it.
On the other hand my wife has made some retarded gains while I've waited.

I HAVE been wanting to buy SQ. Just couldn't justify the ridiculous price.

Even after the beating it's taken, still pricey.

Think I'll just sit on my hands. We own V and MA, so it's not like we're going to be missing out if I never get into SQ at a good price.
