Anyone think or believe we’re at or near the bottom yet ?
A decent close today with quite a volume on the uptick. 10 year Treasury just fell below the 3% mark which is supposedly a positive for good dividend stocks (technically)
Bitcoin up a little. Oils are holding well.
Hoping things are beginning to stabilize somewhat.

I would really really love to be positive, but there are just no metrics to support enthusiasm... at least as I see it.
People are lazy as fugg...
Communists are just getting started...
EVERYONE is overextended to the edge of their nipples...
Short of shorting... what option is there?
Really?
That is a true question.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Tell me some good news.
My loss in the last year ain't been pretty & if I was 48 or 58 I'd just ride it out. But at 68, tempted to take what's left & run.
We still got at least 2 1/2 years of this clown show. My paltry account can't stand it.

I think we're nearer to the top than the bottom.

The bottom when the Dow gets below 17,000. Long way to go.

I believe that the old adage of “sell in May and go away “ has been overdone.
Having said that I do think it’s a little soon to load up on stocks. The consistent ones with good dividends yields and a solid history of dividends increases might earn a second look right now.

Cattle is currently flat but rumored to go way up by Thanksgiving.

I don’t know what to think. As an electrician, I watch copper as it relates to construction. Copper has been falling a lot. The market is bi polar, I am concerned a large retraction is coming.

Ed, would you feel the same if you were approaching 70? But maybe still not needing to withdraw at this time.
