“What happened in the last two-three trading sessions is that we again managed to regain the 19500 mark. Now we are trading near about the 20-day moving average, so that s adding up, and now some positive sentiment is taking place on the near-term setup.”
against russians, we have the representatives of all possible international representations and you can for all of these, years and we never had any single report that anyone was oppressed during this. the recent history of ukraine, since independence. so essentially, we are just saying that he needs some kind of excuse, and that is the one. or even not an excuse, but something to just say. and then, the question is, what is the real goal? the real goal is to of ukraine, which are our strategic importance. and the south of ukraine is important because it is the coastline of the black sea. and from a trading perspective, it is a big deal. yes, they will be trying to do that. but it is easier said than done. because they were heavily fortified. the next city to the east is very heavily fortified. so one thing is to say, one thing is to say, it but another thing is to achieve it. they are not
and the south of ukraine is important because it is the coastline of the black sea. and from a trading perspective, it is a big deal. yes, they will be trying to do that. but it is easier said than done. because they were heavily fortified. the next city to the east is very heavily fortified. so one thing is to say, one thing is to say, it but another thing is to achieve it. they are not going to be successful, i don t think so. this is what i was going to say. a russian official also said today that the goal is to take full control. i will stick that map up again. of eastern and southern ukraine which does mean as you said, odessa, but it also means mariupol, kharkiv, and to do that russians are going to have to travel through open ukrainian roads, deal with some of these heavily fortified cities if they have not been able to take, and circle
s&p 500, you may see a brand-new record on this. the s&p probably resembles your 401(k) or i.r.a. if you have one. since the beginning of june, it s up 6.9%. this is better than you get in some entire years. this is better than some months. if you go back to the second quarter of this year, second three-month period that ended friday, this is up 3.8%. that s pretty good for one quarter of a year. but let s go back to the beginning of the year. the first half of the year ended on friday from a trading perspective and you ve seen a gain on the s&p 500, 17.3%. this is remarkable. we don t know what this is going to do by the end of the year but 17.4% in a half a year, would be remarkably outsized. remember that we ended last year 2018 with a very bad year because donald trump had started
election. i think that people generally feel good about the economy, and they ve made up their minds. if they want democrats to control, they re going to be voting democrat. if they like what trump s doing, they re going to go that way. so what s happening now, i don t think the language he s using about the fed really moves the needle neil: no effect. but from the trading perspective, steven was arguing we have problems this asia, we have problems with our futures market. i m going to be a little unsettled and worried about next week. what do you think? i think we already kind of saw the patrol-through the follow-through, and we saw it intraday on friday. the market dropped nearly 400 points we up near 414 and if you look at a chart, and i know you like technical analysis neil: sure. we tested those lows and start rising back up again. i think that was the start of the comeback. the other reason that i m bullish on the market right now is the percentage of stocks
