Re: Whipsaw's Account Talk
Futures are back up, wondering if yesterday will be the only post holiday weakness we'll see. The senate vote on the tax plan looms... we may see downward pressure as we get closer if the spoilers hold out.

Re: Whipsaw's Account Talk
Just when you count on the spoilers to muck things up, the tax reform bill moves to the senate floor!

Re: Whipsaw's Account Talk
OK, so I missed yesterday's run up, but did catch a good run the week before. Much optimism on the tax bill, I will likely move back in today (hopefully the vote won't be today), I think Senate passage will kick off the Mother of all Santa Rallys.

Re: Whipsaw's Account Talk
Yeah I'm kicking myself for bailing last Friday, but still happy with the returns I made. Congress is doing what I expected, bickering and fighting as they jockey their positions for some quid pro quo in exchange for a yes vote. Surprised that the market has acted positively to all the negative noise.
So now I must sit until 1 December as I am out of IFT's until then. Been hearing a vote will be taken tomorrow so that may play out very well.

Re: Whipsaw's Account Talk
Well, here's one incident to add some color to the markets... Sticky pants! Full POWER!
Maybe the tax reform bill will pull us out of this...I need to rebalance... didn't I just say that?

Re: Whipsaw's Account Talk
Holy bottoming tail Batman! Major hammer... can a hammer be negative, or does that have to be a positive close? At any rate, S fund down .25% on the day. All things considered, I'll take it.

Re: Whipsaw's Account Talk
OK, hanging tight... so much for the MOASR, its still early yet. One of the morning market radio reports pointed to rotation in stocks out of the weakening tech stocks, that much of the bull market fundamentals hadn't changed.
