Okay then ,.... the chores was moving band equipment but we decided to practice some Tom Petty songs for the big Saturday gig. Tom Petty music is fun to play. I never tire of playing Petty songs. Anyway, we're not done for the night so I'll get to this most boring story a little later. :)...

Ha! Just got home Boss. Have to do a few chores and I'll get to it! :)

Hello OneFive, Did you look at the 3rd attachment? The bottom two graphs show than info as 1) percent of time they occur in each category and 2) average daily return in each category.

I send a weekly “Blind leading the blind” market view to family and friends. (As a former failed stock broker they think I know something about the market.) Like many of you I’m a market junkie and thoroughly enjoy looking at current and historical market info and then placing my bet. I’ll...

Hello, Can any of you good guys provide the first 60 minute Opening Range of the SPX (ES) for the following 22 dates: 1. 8/15/11 2. 8/22/11 3. 10/3/11 4. 11/7/11 5. 11/14/11 6. 12/5/11 7. 12/12/11 8. 12/19/11 9. 1/9/12 10. 1/23/12 11. 1/30/12 12. 2/13/12 13. 4/2/12 14. 5/14/12...

Hello Mav, Here's the original story (which I hadn't read when I posted). Everyone who works for me can recite my core ethic rules: 1. Is it legal and the truth; 2. Is it fair to all concerned in the short and long run; 3. If it's discussed in a court of law, council/commission meeting or...

That makes sense. I guess it's just the idea that congress has so often exempted itself from the R&R they create for everyone else.

Is Congress, their spouses and aids really exempt from insider trading? Strap on your seat belt and go to the 29:33 mark. Is there currently an indicator that tracks the stock transactions of congress, spouses and aids available to the general public? Would that be an insider indicator of...

Hello HT, See attached. :)

Just thought you might like to see what a "Oh Shit!" Volatility and Market Type looks like.:)

Regarding the SP-500, my first Yearly A Up was 2376 and you can see on a chart that it banged around there from late February until making the A Up in early May. My second Yearly A up (created in July) is 2545. You can also see that we’re now banging around that zone. (Same basic criteria go...

I can't help but think "Nervous stomach" is the norm. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/09/ray-dalio-is-bringing-his-cult-to-silicon-valley

Stay dry and safe Mav

Hello Mav, 30 dnl knowledge is always evolving ....... so tell us your current thinking (if you can) :) I'm seeing more and more stories like these at various websites: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-08-25/wall-street-banks-are-sending-warning-signals...

The Van Thorp sp-500 volatility classification ended the week in the “Quite” mode for the 265th consecutive trading day. (It’s based on the 20 day ATR as a % of the close.) Thursday and Friday were the lowest readings (.43%) since I started the data beginning in 1962. It would need to pass...

That's a very good swing thought (no ..... it's better than that :)). I've attended a couple of Jeff Costen/Mike Bender golf schools and they both place heavy emphasis on driving the butt end of the handle through the 7:00 to 1:00 line on the golf ball. It has made a tremendous improvement to...

My pleasure Coach. I figured someone would note the many insights you've pointed out over the years in the "General market wisdom" category that were in the interview. I figured he had been reading your thread. :) Did you see this Greenspan story...

All’s very “Quite” on the SP-500 front. (If interested, see my recent post about Van Thorp’s volatility calculation and classification.) As if you didn’t already know it, today and last Wednesday are the smallest 20 day ATR as percent of close since 1962 (.44%). Additionally, 7 days in July...
