4050 would be great if it gets there.

As I said at the start of the week, from my expiration cycle numbers, 4000 was going to be a hard reach this cycle and it seems to be coming to pass.  New cycle starts next week maybe then but if we hold around here its not looking good for April's end to its cycle.  Gonna be a fun last day of trading, profit stop 3950!

it's the other way around.....it's the sp futures that bring Europe down. You have Europe in green with sp futures in green and as soon as that green of the futures turns to red, Europe turns down. It's a damnation......

30 year treasuries now yielding 2.5% are putting pressure on stocks.

But that 2.5% is fully taxable, and what is left after taxes is way less than REAL inflation.

A guaranteed loser haha. SO unless yield reaches 3.5%+, stocks are the only game in town.

With stocks at least there is a chance to beat inflation.

Kinda funny considering it's almost always been the opposite, where plummeting yields mean a flight to safety. Maybe some smart money is expecting it to skyrocket because of alternate 'safe havens' like what bitcoin is proposed to be. I heard the advise is to replace a % of bonds with crypto instead.

Crypto is driving me crazy, trying to understand what is it's intrinsic value. 

Not backed by any sovereign country, not backed by precious minerals, not backed by any bank.

Is it same as the American Express checks? When I was traveling through South & East Asia, American Express checks were preferred over currencies because the company stands behind them. But I am not aware if any major corporation backs crypto-Bitcoin etc.

Why not?  For some reasons quarterly OpEx Fridays often go wild with shorts being scorched badly,  and let's see if this will be the case tomorrow.............................
