Futures already down 400 points. A classic Friday shaping up. Not so good jobs report due, Iran/Israel war heats up, economy cools, etc. Buckle up baws....

Add one of the most liberal politicians in America on the verge of being elected president to your equation.

It’s healthy to have these days. If you long term investor and have a plan, stick to it.

If she wins Pennsylvania or Michigan, the election wasn’t on the up and up in those states. She might be able to win Georgia legitimately.

That’s when we kick Georgia out of the SEC. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

It can be argued that the market got a bit overbought and there’s some profit taking.


Also, the fed might have miscalculated in their rate lowering model. Maybe should have dropped a month ago.

Jobs coming in at 114k, significantly lower than expectations. Unemployment goes up .2% to 4.3%. JPow just popped a chubby.

The yen carry trade is unwinding, BLS is obv struggling to continue faking labor data and the Justice Dept is investigating Nvidia.

I changed jobs recently and my rollover is in flight between ex-employer and vanguard.

What a glorious time to be in a cash position by technicality.

I've been responsible with my money. A lot of people are about to feel the pain. Spending like there is no tomorrow.

Unfortunately, the fed is never happy until they break something.

But days like this are healthy to have some consolidation. But also why I tend to never run more than 75-80% invested in my brokerage. The retirement accounts are full throttle though.

The sooner we get back to normalization the better — I say this as someone that has been looking for a new job for ~6 months with no success and practically no hits on anything.
