I couldn't agree more Digi, and I'm not sure how the calculation works but could it just be that so many people are grabbing second jobs these days that very few that were unemployed are now employed but actually those that were already employed just grabbed second jobs increasing the number of jobs taken in the US?!?!  No clue but it doesn't seem to jive unless we did just hand out free low paying jobs to all migrants into the country.

Yesterday was the biggest tease ever as I just lost all my gains from my shorts and then some today.

Isn't this going to lead to a lot of pain in the future? I can't wrap my head around how this is a good thing at all.

This market makes me want to vomit...

Haha that would be pretty risky seeing inflation just came in hot and could cause a rapid spike. That page shows a 100% chance of a cut in Jun, Jul, Sep, Nov and Dec haha! That seems absurd and would indicate a recession if you ask me.

I sold at 6.60, was going to at 6.80 but work has been slammed during Dec month-end close so I got sidetracked unfortunately...

Yeah this can easily gap down >50 cents tomorrow and I'd be kicking myself...     once you lose on so many single stocks you forget how to sell a winner LOL

Would it be smart to just sell all my UNG or trail up a stop here? This upcoming week is looking nasty in Chicago but I think the market would already be baking in anything they see 1-2 weeks out, is that the proper way of looking at it?

You must be referring to QQQ because SPY was only up 1.4%.

Below 50 and it means the economy is contracting, not expanding, and it almost tapped 50. Yet, the market is rallying from the point this dropped which I find interesting. Last time it was under 50 was Jan 2023 and before that May and June 2020 during Covid.

Nonfarm payrolls crushed estimates, hourly earnings up and unemployment down. Smells like inflation is about to tick back up…

You never know morton, anything is possible...

That does make sense Digi and it doesn't look like a pullback will happen in 2023.

AI botched his hat in the bottom left pic LOL. Merry Christmas all!

Thanks for the explanation, sorry about that!

I can't find SDS on the KISS STS Tables unless it's not on there. I only see SPXL, UPRO, and SSO for leveraged longs.

It just did something else...                also a poor man here trying to be in the game.

Nope, IMPOSSIBLE! TO THE MOON!

Sorry to hear about your dad but glad he's doing ok! I'm trying to move my dad back up to IL because he moved down near Knoxville, TN to take care of his dad who passed last year, and now my dad is constantly having seizures (6 in last 2 weeks). Doctors don't know what's going on so he needs to come back to Chicago for better healthcare but he's stubborn. Living "off the grid" isn't as cracked up as people think. 

when was the last time this happened? for those quick with the charts
