What's special about today?
It's a low volume half day of trading. I'm more interested to see what the markets do in the beginning of 2019.

Purina: I do think trump is part of the problem. He has advisors and does not generally care what they say. Our debt, which is continuing to grow, has to be addressed. Munchin, just today, apparently sent out a tweet or contacted bank CEO's....that may be viewed as "panic" and that is not good either. Let the economists figure this out---not Trump who cares not about debt or bankruptcy....his business model which is not a "governmental" model.

With SPY closing today at 233.64, I’m here to eat my crow gumbo. I’ve been investing for over 30 years and have never seen a December like this, a weird one for the history books. Looking forward to putting 2018 behind us and and the start of a new year.

Whatever, it's time to sell, sell, sell. I'm tired of seeing my stock portfolio (in mutual funds) shed thousands of dollars each day.

FYI, bitcoin lost 9.9% today.

If you’re being serious, then I would advise you not to look at the portfolio daily. These things happen. Eventually though the market bottoms and turns around. Trust the long game.

5. Macro Debt: US Gross Federal Debt as a percentage of GDP averaged 61.7 percent from 1940-2017. Right now it is 105.4 percent.
Micro Debt: ATT lists net debt at 180 billion.
Probably not great when 80 billion of that is current and they have 50 billion in cash.

Ouch, seems the market can’t even rally once.
Posted on 12/26/18 at 9:38 am to jb4
Yep. I think it will be down again by the end of the day. Can't sustain a small rally.

I've been waiting to buy and holding what I have. I'm particularly interested in the battered energy sector. I just want to see if we keep dropping into the new year.

Even if we don't buy at the bottom (I rarely do) there are some values just too tempting to pass up. I believe six to nine months from now a lot of us will be kicking ourselves over a missed buying opportunity.

I honestly believe the markets could attain a sense of normalcy, if only Trump could keep quiet.
I notice stocks usually start the day off in positive territory and then the president sends out some idiotic tweet or threatens trade wars with China, or voices tariffs against Mexico, China, Canada, the EU, or wherever. Then the markets take a nosedive.
And to compound the Misery Index, he shut down the government! How much more of this can we take?

We should leave about 75% of it shutdown

he shut down the government!
The budget standoff only affects about 23% of federal offices, like national parks and national monuments. And ALL of the federal government's non-defense, non-security offices were closed for Christmas Eve and Christmas anyway so what's the big deal??
Stop being such a Drama Queen.

Looking good today so far.

how did you feel when Obama "shut down" the government in 2013?
