Your car, i know some people i do have leave, but i was just thinking, im jealous of all the people with the heated seats and a heated steering wells must be nice. Yeah, im not on that level must be a knife on mornings like this take a little extra time to warm up that car folks since its so cold out there were looking at the trip into San Francisco.

Businesses stay afloat until we get a vaccine . The market doesnt remember, which is why it got crushed today. Dow plummeting down. The s p plunging 1. 16 and the nasdaq sinking 1. 3 , nice comeback there forget another bailout there is another possibility of a Government Shutdown next month. Stocks have been getting hammered for sometime now as i listened to the talking heads today, i was kind of autohear them suddenly recognize that the big tech names act terrible. Like wow, holy cow these are down a lot we better sell i mean, of course they were also acting terribly last week and the week before so a bounce could potentially be in the offering one held by the amazing rebound in apple which at its lows today was down 25 from highs earlier this month.

If you bet against this market, you are bankly shorting two things you are shorting the fed and you are shorting science, i. E. The hope that a vaccine will come along. You want to short those two . I dont think so steve . So, my observation that i sent to you this morning were that the markets momentum market, and if you disregard fundamentals, which the market is doing in large part, or at least
