A market crash targets 500 on the S&P

85% off the ~3330 high on the S&P gets us right to the 500 area, finding support from the trendline from the two prior lows in 2002 and 2009.




The beautiful 2008 tape, transposed, gives a good idea of how we might bounce around violently between areas of support and resistance before we finally break down in October and plunge to the 1040 level, eventually bottoming near 500.

The 2008 tape is such a beautiful moment in the markets, it serves as our model.  Again this time, but with more feeling.

Or I guess you could believe that China really is growing at 6%, that they are free to create even more debt, that Boeing won't file for bankruptcy, that US corporate debt is manageable, that real estate prices are reasonable, that the damage from US retail is just a phase shift to online, and the rest.

A crash in October may bring out the best in candidate Trump.  It would be good if he had two more SCOTUS nominations in place before then.

First step is a break in the bearish wedge, with a sharp retrace, into January FOMC. The Fed is here to help, of course.

as the old saying goes....as january goes so goes the year. since 1950 the markets been up for the year 87% of the time it finished up in jan. given the strength of the us economy those odds probably are much higher.

given the above, i believe the s&p will easily finish above 3,600 (easy shot to 4000 in 2021) , dow 32,000 and naz well north of 10,000

and a very big thanks to siri!

hoping we get a 3-5% dip to buy at some point

Is the corona virus the black swan?

Not yet the Black Swan. I think we're back to waiting patiently for a divergent high, with RSI, breadth, etc sounding the alarm.

Middle of the channel is ~3380 after Feb opex.

How Lemeridian funding service  grant me a loan!!!

Hello everyone, I'm Lea Paige Matteo from Zurich Switzerland and want to use this medium to express gratitude to lemeridian funding service for fulfilling his promise by granting me a loan, I was stuck in a financial situation and needed to refinance and pay my bills as well as start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate organisations but never succeeded and most banks declined my credit request. But as God would have it, I was introduced by a friend named Lisa Rice to Le_meridian funding service and undergone the due process of obtaining a loan from the company, to my greatest surprise within 48hrs just like my friend Lisa, I was also granted a loan of $216,000.00 So my advise to everyone who desires a loan, "if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan online with low interest rate of 1.9% and better repayment plans/schedule, please contact Le_meridian funding service. Besides, he doesn't know that am doing this but due to the joy in me, I'm so happy and wish to let people know more about this great company whom truly give out loans, it is my prayer that GOD should bless them more as they put smiles on peoples faces. You can contact them via email on {lfdsloans@lemeridianfds.com Or lfdsloans@outlook.com} or Text through Whatsapp +1-989 394 3740.

You should see how my colleague Wesley Virgin's tale launches with this shocking and controversial video.

As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he found hidden, "MIND CONTROL" tactics that the CIA and others used to get everything they want.

These are the same secrets lots of famous people (especially those who "became famous out of nothing") and the greatest business people used to become rich and famous.

You probably know that you use less than 10% of your brain.

Really, that's because the majority of your brain's power is UNTAPPED.

Perhaps this conversation has even taken place INSIDE OF YOUR very own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind about 7 years back, while driving an unregistered, beat-up trash bucket of a car with a suspended license and $3 in his bank account.

"I'm very fed up with going through life check to check! Why can't I become successful?"

You've been a part of those those types of thoughts, isn't it so?

Your own success story is waiting to be written. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
