2018 Finishing on a high note?

Post by Greenangle »

NAFTA 2.0 was signed and now a trade-war truce was agreed upon at the G20 summit between China and the US over the weekend. Currently the S&P 500 futures are up 2.3%...Could these be the winds the bull rides on into 2019? Let’s hope so and happy investing ya’ll!!

Futures are up so high that it will probably be a red Monday.

You are correct, market's closed, Federal agencies closed and federal government for observance of President H. Walker Bush.

Post office hasn't Closed, as of yet. It would be a really unwise decision, giving the mail volume about now...

I'm in DoD, and no word about it yet for us. Even if it were the case, the unit I work for is undergoing a once-every-3-years inspection that runs 5 - 7 Dec, so it's unlikely we'll be closed.

I think it will be temporary. I moved my money from C to F and G last Thursday and almost moved back into the market after reading about the news on Sunday. However, I decided to stay out with 75% F and 25% G after checking how people reacted to a similar situation in May. The market went up for the weekend and went back to being as unpredictable as the 1st Twitter.

Seems to be a similar pattern that we’ve had all year long: good gains one day, wiped imout the next my marginal news. Today’s headline of trade deal doubts has futures lower

We may lose the 1%+ we gained yesterday

DoD here as well ... no verbal from the command but in SLDCADA it shows we have WED off with a THC of "LH".

Thank you current administration and thank you #41 for your service to this country.

As far as meet-ups, Billionair, Tuesday night, December 18, 2018 (7:30 PM to 10:30 PM
Every 3rd Tuesday of the month) there's an Investment Club (DC Area Day/Swing Traders Meetup Group) that meets @ La Madeleine Bakery & Cafe, 7607 Old Georgetown Road in Bethesda, MD. Maybe we can start gettin' everyone from our area in there, goin' forward, to (both) socialize & help augment our Investment Strategies... Just a thought!!!

Best Wishes (everyone) in all you chose to endeavor!!!

This is a garbage year. There is not a rhyme or reason for some of these mood swings.
S is looking at -3% today.
