Re: MARKETS,Anybody even yet?
Right now sitting still and waiting for more downside. I’m waiting for PRU to hit 80. It finally went under 100. Probably won’t buy anything with less than a 4 percent dividend.

I did good on crypto late in 2024. After Trump was elected crypto went crazy. I sold a lot of Chainlink and it was my biggest winner. Through this year I have been trading crypto like stocks, buy and sell. Right now I am out of everything except bitcoin. The market has been very volitile so a good year to buy dips and sell runs in crypto.
Stocks had a good year for the most part. I have more dividend than growth right now. My big buy Monday will be Amazon. I startd nibbling early October with Amazon and made a large buy Friday as it dipped 5%. This is the best buy in the magnificent 7 in my opinion. Hoping the markets continue to drop for awhile and I can continue loading up on Amazon.

Was looking at SPMC for a high dividend buy. The divdend is around 17% and pays monthly. A buy in low 17 dollar mark looks fair. Would be a good drip.

Stocks are attempting a rebound this morning. Everything I'm watching looks green, except TLT which is only giving back a little of its gains from Friday. Bond market is closed today, so not sure how that affects trading.
I want more TLT, but not if I have to chase it.

Technician dinghy reporting for duty.

I see clearance until 55 or maybe 56, but above that I would be a nervous bull. I am selling down my silver and related stocks.
