My cognitive reservoir is running dry. I used up my best thought yesterday and until I go move something heavy or contort for a few hours, I am afraid all I can muster up is dullard commentary about the militarization of police.
It baffles the mind that these grumpy old white dudes act so tough. And hunt. And muscle their pickup trucks around the roads. Yet they cower behind the proverbial shield of the law dogs like a bunch of bootlickers. All the noise about freedom and liberties while funding an organization designed to control and oppress.
But I have no charisma for it today. In any event, any attempt to apply reasonable logic to the psyche of the extreme right is a sure way to boondoggle the mind.
Models are neutral. Trading will be kept tight and minimal. Little 15 point jabs in the futes. Continue to press all the long term bets on Big Tech.

Bias Book Performance [11/17/2014-Present]:
Semiconductors form mini balance, Transports top out at range high
Markets fluctuate between two states—balance and discovery. Discovery is an explosive directional move and can last for months. In theory, the longer the compression leading up to a break, the more order flow energy to push the discovery phase.
We are monitoring two instruments, the Nasdaq Transportation Index and the PHLX Semiconductor Index.
Transports met resistance at the top of the multi year range. Balance remains.
See below:
Semiconductors could be forming a mini-balance up here, inside a maturing discovery up on the higher time frame.

V. INDEX MODEL
Bias model is neutral. No bias.
