We don't want to be counting chickens yet but we are seeing more progress towards an agreement than we have in weeks. The markets seem happy and we are going to be watching the open to see how this plays out. The question is will this be enough to prop up the...
The markets are having another moment. We have seen a steady cadence of resets along this rally, but we aren't seeing this one recover as quickly to more all time highs. It is similar to the one we saw in the beginning of October that lumbered along for a while before...
Not sure if anyone else feels like this market is a meat grinder. If you are too close it is easy to lose sight of why it is an awesome market for traders. Keith Harwood and I talked through navigating these shakeouts and he offered up some great tips and a couple...
