Tax receipts are based upon accounting fictions. You can't get any useful information from that, ESPECIALLY when the corporate tax rate has been cut.

Thank you.

But strange that it precedes grey areas, or is it just nothing? Another question - how the gov is going to pay interest on it's debt?

Almost completed the execution of a huge short trade, a calculated risk, with 

maximum losses of just under 90% of my total profits made this year in my LT Portfolio.

 

The most I can lose is most of my profits in my LT portfolio this year (12%) 

MINUS profits I make in NQ day trading  from now until I close all SHORT trade positions.

I'm surprised no ones talking about the volume being so low on the way up.  In this case not healthy at all!!

I've never understood that volume argument other than it's a maxim of classic TA. If volume is low, to me it implies there's a shortage of willing sellers and each sale raises the price that much more than if there were plenty. How is that not bullish in the short term? Longer term it probably eventually converts a lot of holders to sellers because the price has become too attractive not to sell.
