The Dow turned lower after Powell made those balance sheet comments.
Highlight: Stocks take a turn for the worse after Fed Chair Jerome Powell says, "We don't know the exact level the balance sheet will end up at once quantitative tightening is over." @scottgamm reports from the floor of the @NYSE.https://t.co/ObzMOMFjVy pic.twitter.com/dojgNsZAYW

That being said, there is very change in bond and commodity markets. I’d like to see market go lower with some energy before initiating some short positions.

Interesting about how much more currency is out there (buried in the back yard?). So the gov’t can pick up a couple $trillion when they issue the new dollar.
Everyone and their mother wants to buy a dip here. Think about it.
All dips getting bought. People don’t seem to care China is slowing anymore.
The monkeys are trained to buy stocks in January.
The Fed is overrated. But it livens up the markets.
