I am a great Buffet fan. He made tons of money in a hostoric bull market because he stuck to his strategy. 

BUt, will he also make such profits in a bear or sideways market?

Trump reminded us he still has a card or two to play before Tuesday.  So, he decides to negotiate with himself in the trade deal, brilliant strategy!

The hero rescued the bull, for now. Thank you, Donald, for a 50-point NQ profit overnight. Bought at 7021 (see post after APPLE earnigns yesterday) and closed at 7092 this morning. 

 

Forget the politics, just trade the market.....SPX could reach the 2765 200ma today, the important issue is the close. 

 

Next important event is the NFP report in about 90 minutes

Stock buybacks have returned, calming a jittery market. Some analysts hope a resurgence in repurchases could help support share prices during a period of ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainty.

Here’s what happens when dividend investing goes wrong. James Mackintosh writes that shareholders focus far too much on the payouts and forget whether the businesses can sustain them.

Key Events

U.S. nonfarm payrolls for October, out at 8:30 a.m. ET, are expected to rise by 188,000 from the prior month, and the unemployment rate is expected to hold steady at 3.7%. 

The U.S. trade deficit for September, due at 8:30 a.m., is expected to widen to $53.8 billion from $53.24 billion the prior month.

U.S. factory orders for September, released at 10 a.m., are expected to rise 0.5% from the prior month.

The Baker-Hughes Rig Count is released at 1 p.m.

Just looking at the hourly & daily SPX charts, again, with relative volaitlity and VIX....

 

the 200ma at 2765 is the most important level today

 

A spike up could take SPX to 2780

 

As for downside targets, everything below to SPX 2532 is in play.....2710 first objective

 

NET 3 QQQ puts (6 puts/3 calls)... failed to close the calls yesterday, may get another opportunity at higher prices to do so today

LONG NQ @ 7043 --- keeping this, a rough hedge to options, and my daytrading NQ is not dependent on this

Crude.... VXX... if time allows will trade

No. But why does he need to ?
