SPX 1hr - I watch a YouTube guy every night that repeats the
same setups over and over and over again. Essentially, the anatomy
of a trap...but he does it in the context of the current index
charts. When there's a lot of bearish momentum, he says the
normal 2 try failure / trap patterns often requires 3...and the 3rd
has to go lower than the previous 2. The trigger is the 1st green
candle when the broken level is taken back. It's setting up
here. Trigger would be a solid green candle above 5139 ish (I think
most people with standard setups wait for the break above
5156....but that's where I'll be looking to sell (if it triggers)
He uses tick charts...very short term, but it is fractal,
IMO

My 1st reaction is to advise people against real estate in
general....especially residential. But, do you know the quickest
way to lose a client, especially if it's a female or a wife
involved? Advise that real estate isn't necessarily the
bullet proof investment it's cracked up to be. Might as well say
that white wedding dresses are inappropriate, drop the mike, and
walk out the door.

Love hearing this...especially since I'm basically trapped long
for life. I could neutralize exposure, I suppose, but it would be a
massive pain in the ass!

SPX 15 min - I just got a MACD buy alert. But remember the Kiss
setup (1st kiss after cross is a good shorting opp)? It has
that look. The question with this setup is always: will it
kiss or will it cross?
Correction, this alert based on MACD with 12, 26 (standard
settings)

Internals, specifically VOLD, don't suggest hidden strength.
The VOLD ramp we're seeing Tuesday and today is basically a
black swan event relative to the last 5 months or so. Most of the
time I look at my internals page on down days and VOLD is either
just slightly lower or actually higher. That said, I learned
what I know about this indicator from SMB Capital, and they say
that 3 is kind of the number where things are serious (positive or
negative 3)...we spent the whole day around -4 on
Tuesday.

I accepted a job offer in Singapore almost specifically because
it paid enough to where I could aggressively pay down my student
loans. I buckled down and cut my budget down to essentials for
almost 2 years while I hammered the payments. It was painful, but I
borrowed the money and felt obligated to pay my debts. In
hindsight, it was kind of stupid.
Posted by DigiNomad on 12th of Apr 2024 at 11:19 am
The student loan thing is crazy. I think either Bidens handlers
are taking advantage of the fact that he's not really all there
anymore and doesn't remember what the Supreme Court said and keeps
saying, or they just don't care anymore (laws and judges are
definitely fungible in America these days).
One thing to keep in mind is that markets love to have epic
reversals higher based on war. The initial reaction is
negative, but it's basically a license for Governments to print and
spend. This is when you get the "we had no choice" excuses entering
the conversation. It's especially helpful when Gov's appear
to be nearing the end of their current ropes because of peasants
getting antsy about inflation and starting to blame their spending
(correctly, but it took forever). This kind of thing takes them
from a yellow to a green light on money printing. We will
hear talks about emergency spending bills within hours of anything
actually happening. Markets will likely explode higher if
that happens.

Haha. 1 million % agree with this assessment, but this
market been divorced from rational thought for a long time now.
Even if there are glimpses every once in a while, most people don't
know or care about underlying valuations anymore...and they often
get rewarded for not caring. Just say SpaceX and they'll lose their
minds (clearly). Gambling nation.
