In November. So much for that epic collapse Trump was forecasting.

Wouldn't bet on it. The market was going up prior to the election believing there would be a true "blue wave". Likely because of the massive infrastructure packages that were expected along with a hefty COVID stimulus. Stock market has history of actually going up more in Dem administrations than Rep, but outside influences could have caused that to happen. If everyone knew what the market would do based on whoi wins the Presidential election, a lot of people would be a whole lot richer.....either from buying or shorting.Doc Holliday said:

Nice chart, Jupiter..Guess it's safe to assume our largest financial institutions are a$$ deep in USD. No dangerous liquidity issues seem to be lurking...for the big boys anyway. FED in action.jupiter said:

Been a very, very active trader/investor for over 25 years. For all my efforts, I barely manage to beat the SPY most years - lol. Lot's to be said for asset allocation and the couch potato approach, but I enjoy it. Have had some modest success this year with options and I'm looking to go more in that direction as I near retirement. My main takeaway from all these years is that financial markets are just giant ongoing auctions with price action functioning as a market clearing device for the underlying. Millions of decisions being made every second for millions of different reasons that don't really have a lot to do necessarily with current economic conditions in that moment. When you back up and think about it, share prices of publicly traded companies are just a very small part of the investible universe.HuMcK said:
