A Solid Day for Stocks, Led by Gold and Foreign Banks

Because foreign banks are cool and totally solvent, investors bought them in droves today. I get no pleasure out of highlighting the big bold letters in front of our faces. But there it is, the bounce back day for stocks led higher by hospital beds and gold mines. Market breadth was at 73%, so there was broad market participation. However, we’re stuck inside of a trading range, a purgatory if you will, until there is some resolution on these worldly events transpiring.

Some of the bounce in gold is due to the renewed belief that the Fed is filled with shit and will not hike rates. In my opinion, today’s spike in risk off assets was predicated more around that narrative than fear of a market drawdown.

    minor programming after 12pm to basically minimize drift
