    Tom mentioned in his evening discussion the last time we had Consumer Confidence this high (Dec 2000), we were just off our peak and on the downside.

    Even though the time scales are a bit off...we are mimicking that chart pattern with the recent CC report.

    Selling on short 3 day "semi-flat rally". Using 1st IFT to go 50% G and 50% F.

    These last few days are looking like "bear-flagish" on the S&P (below) as well as the Dow Transports.

    I'm OK with the "C & S" funds going a little bearish as long as the "I" fund stays on the bullish side.
    May the force be with us.

    My thoughts are that we broke out of the 2353 channel to the upside, the vix is falling and there is talk back on about tax reform. If we get any confirmation on the tax reform I think we will have a blow off top. Time will tell.

    Reversed course...with markets digesting tax plan and not free-falling on it...and WH agreeing to keep ACA subsidies in place makes Gov't shutdown/showdown less likely.

    Decided to go with some International exposure, as many analysts on CNBC have been hitting Europe for better growth...so went 50/50 I and S.

    Want to be invested going into early part of next week, THEN will re-evaluate.

    Lat few days making me feel good about putting half my $$ in the I-fund.

    If I weren't holding out for another chance to drop out of market and buy back in, I would shift the other half into the I-fund as well.

    I exited from 50/50 S and I...into 100% G COB today.
    Up just under 1% for the month so far, so as long as we don't crater in the afternoon, should still be able to hold onto 2/3rds of that.

    Super low (23 yr low) VIX yet we've been struggling to match market highs of 8 weeks ago on the S&P....and looking like we're starting to roll over, as doubts about the "Trump Trade" from the smart money seems to be slowly building, while sentiment with the rest of the crowd "the dumb money" is as bullish as its been in awhile.

    Everything has run up the past 5-6 months on the promise of better economic conditions, mainly via tax cuts (which first require HC repeal). Looks like neither happens this year.
    Great video chart analysis on CNBC showed how the charts show the "Trump Trade" to essentially be over now (link to video below).
    I feel that a much better buy in price will be available in 2 weeks.

    There was nothing there: Analyst

    Reasons are likely a "Black Swan" geopolitical event. Impeachment odds, while not certain...have gone up significantly in the past 24 hrs.
    An analogue event...the Nixon Watergate Investigation...led to a yearlong bear market decline from previous highs...S&P dropping 50% in a year.

    Low VIX, exiting temporarily...hope to get back in before end of next week, depending on what the market serves up.
