Commodities are coming down.
Housing is going into the deep-freeze...
Are they? If Lumber futures have fallen below 1K, I will feel better. Below 800 would be better.

Lumber is already down huge ytd.
It's right where it needs to be.
If anything it needs to go up a little.

Well, not really. Prices aren't coming down by any significant amount. At least in any area anyone wants to live in. Like I said, things have reset. This is the new level.Excellent, man. That is great news for home buyers.

You can mark this post Stoney. We're at the tip of the iceberg. I don't care what the Q's do, or the S&P.... because they are controlled by six stocks at best, and those six stocks are controlled by algo's sporting and fueled by 100's of billions of aum battling each other out... but hear what I say.... in the real world this stuff is gonna start hitting home real soon with 70% (+/- a bit) of the US population.
Home Depot, Walmart, Lowes, and several others will all report soon.
You watch.... if they haven't already, they are going to lower their forecasts.... and watch out below. Oh they'll all say "the consumer is strong"... because that's what they do... but watch how they lower the estimates.
Mark the post.
We're going lower Stoney.

You accidentally got a free two for one deal at the Bratwurst vendor cart in the HD parking lot?*cluck* I have a funny story about that. I might be able to formulate it soon. It will blow your mind. I am still blown away by what it was.
Tough call on tonight's open.
3716.
I think if you can get in close to that, preferably around 3710 with a tight stop underneath, I'd ride it up to north of 3740 if you can stand the noise. If it gets that high, set a stop around 3728 and let it ride.
Be back later.
