By the way a Hedge Fund guy that reads this thread (yes we have a few) reminded me that indeed there was a correction is just the time periods we have been discussing- Big Cap tech!

I have one portfolio that is only mid and large cap tech and it went from a value of $90,000 to near $70,000. Indeed just when I worried about stocks there was a correction. The commodity trade and reflation and reopening trades muddled this up as overall averages held steady. Under the covers not so healthy.

Now what? Can tech regain it's rightful place or will everything turn down? Slower growth as reflected by the bond market has me leaning towards everything down. But infrastructure bill looks like it might be on track...

Earnings will be key. There is always the argument that we are growing into our PE-- by not moving so many months the S&P is probably at a PE of 19.

Sounds so simple. I cannot see how Canada would say no to this but it's a coin flip. I see Score is going to pull in this morning I would buy.

“Update on #C218: It’s likely we’ll get to debate/final vote on this later today. Unsure of how long debate will be due to possible amendments, speakers and votes, but it’ll be later in the sitting.”

-Senator David Wells

I haven't heard anything so I assume (always dangerous) we will hear later today.

LET SCR OPEN AND THEN GUMMY OF THE DAY WITH A DOSE OF HOPE AND PREY.

Guys you will NEVER catch me on a market direction mistake. I am very careful---
That date was pushed forwards when the taxes were rescheduled. I have to sell a lot of stocks to make taxes and I feel others do as well. So 1st chinks in a market often come around tax day. This year Biden's tax plans have accelerated that trend if anything.

Two months ago I said the market will go nowhere and you will be right where you are Index wise. That proved to be 100% correct.

I predicted a sell off in June that I now see happening in July. We'll have to see if I'm right but I see a long hot summer. ~stoney
