Populating wall street are a bunch of weather man everyday you hear the forecast today the dow slipped some points nasdaq declined 1. 2 it is enough to make you take a meteorologist course to see which way the wind blows seems like both ways blowing at the same time. The tail wind dies and the market goes right back down again. You dont care about todays weather, what good is that for you on the forecast . It is easier said than done.

I took her full statement as a sign getting a deal done could be extremely difficult im saying this purely in micah pasty as your investing coach without a stimulus deal, there will be a ton of private company losers and could be a much worse place a year from now if we get a vaccine by the end of the year too many struggling Small Businesses cant wait that long.

These are textbook signs of what we call froth. Thats what this is. Its froth and you know what . All the froth got crushed today. Dow plunging 517 points, s p plummeting 117 , nasdaq nose diving 1. 55 not bad for an amateur so whats become too riskier let me give you an example last night kind of cool. We had novavax on, hottest stock on the market.
