How is that owning the Libs thing working out for you?

Margin debt is on my radar in the year ahead, as current 52% 15-month ROC sets up a potential sell signal below 48%. H/t @_rob_anderson

Today's password: Broadening Out.

We have a consensus on FinTv today: financials are the place to be.

RIVN went off the top. Cc @pearkes

My list of what I am terrible at is long. But I think Sam is correct, folks want someone they can relate to.

Lol. By whom???

The results are in and folks lean bullish for the 10th straight week. This is the longest streak since the runup into the November 2021 high. It is however the largest spread between bulls and bears. Prior peak was April 2025. Thanks for voting and Happy Holidays to all!

To my STL folks. If you have not yet taken the (free!) architectural tour of the library downtown, go and do it. What an awesome building to see and learn about.

Hey Cheese Heads....

NAAIM Exposure tops 100

TGT into the gap we go. Not the gap that we fall into :)

SBUX over 200 dma for first time since July

AAII folks seem to have decided to take the rest of the year off. Barely any change but notice that the 4 wk ma of bears has finally come down. Not extreme, but a lower low (since April) Bulls 44.1% Bears 33.2%

The Potato Stock had blowout eps. IYKYK

Congrats to those who voted down in Saturday's poll. @followtheh.bsky.social

PG is interesting cuz last week it got a big d/g

CNBC asks me to update the app (presumably due to the new logo, etc). I update. I try and open and it says update. Over and over again. Guessing it's a glitch 😄

Nasdaq rallies on the prospect of 24/7 trading.

it is going to mess up my hand drawn charts so I hate it.

JPM sorta kinda went off the top so I cut and pasted

Naz has fewer new lows (so far) today than yesterday

I see several of my pals chatting up the break in COST. I have a weird view of charts: if they break a well watched support level and can recapture that level, the stock tends to do quite well cuz we've gotten rid of the weak holders. So can it recapture? @conorsen.bsky.social @cavandy.bsky.social

Narrator: Bessent is unelected.

When you have lost Tom Lee…. (But not Ryan D, he is still very bullish)

What? No cash (or very little) on the sidelines? What about all those charts showing all that cash????

Luke and Laura's wedding was a must watch in my college dorm. RIP Luke.

Naz red 3 straight. Last time it went 4 was...April.

I have a pile of charts that looks like this

Utes working on 3rd straight green day

Will anyone ask the Senate contender what he thought of the tweet?

The results are in and folks lean UP for the 9th straight week. In the last 8 weeks the S&P is up 35 points. This 9 week stretch matches 2023 and 2024 year end votes as well. Guess you guys are all seasonality folks. Thanks for participating!

Okay, I bought a Powerball ticket.

Had not realized this was a billion bucks now. Gotta buy a ticket today!

The market this week was a Dennis Gartman market. Stocks that worked were ones that if you dropped them on your foot they hurt. IYKYK

Was that a bad print in META at 711?

I am watching CNBC and I did not hear them say that. Did I miss it?

Thought he was only gonna be dictator on Day One?

PSA. Today will be my last day hand charting YELP. Been hand posting it for years but it has become such a POS I have decided to put it in the discard pile. Yes that probably means there is a (long) trade in it.

Just tried COST's chicken pot pie for the first time. It's good. They make it with their rotisserie chicken. It's huge (natch). Now I need a nap.

Love this. @michaelsantoli.bsky.social with a Gold vs Goldman chart.

Ivan is correct, Tom Lee thinks we can swoon 20% midyear 2026. And then a screamer into year end Interesting.

And we know who they vote for.

BREAKING: Tom Lee is bullish
