Okay I'm confused. Left for work this morning thinking all the gains from Tuesday were history with the talk of China retaliating over the tariffs. So I decided to stay away and not watch the carnage.
Imagine my surprise when I saw another 1+% gain at the closing.
Not bragging, but did you see who was on the Top 10 list for the month of April...I haven't been there in ages so I am going to enjoy this while I can.

RF! I saw you in the top 10, bravo! I was there for one or two days at the end of March. Very cool...
Expecting an up day today, now to watch closely if more buyers flood in and take us up. Friday may be a day to take some profits if today is strong. Of course, that could be premature if the next target is the previous high. Hmmmmmmm....
OBTW, futures are UP!

Yeah been thinking to reduce exposure as well. Especially if the S&P gets near 2700. Tomorrow the unemployment numbers come out and if they hit the sweet spot it could be a good day to lock in profits. But as you say, an exit could be premature with earnings season beginning anew next week. I only have one IFT left for April so if I exit completely I'm done until May. So I am leaning to take profits and leave a little on the table for next week.

We're up almost 1% in the C fund before noon, looks like its hitting some resistance at the 20 day - assuming the elephants don't start dancing again, we could shoot to the March high. I like your plan.

Wow March high. That's aggressive and over 100 points higher (2786.57 on 9 Mar) and nearly a 4% gain. If it happens, that would be schweeeeeeetttttttt!!!
After the last two months, we're certainly due.
