As iBullyBear tells its members "the trend is up."


SPX +78.76, 6,875, we could nickname Tuesday the Greenland selloff and Wednesday the Davos rally.  The broad market rallied after Pres. Trump spoke at the Davos economic forum, held an interview and posted on his social media platform and indicated that the U.S. would not use military force in pursuit of Greenland.  He also indicated that because of productive negotiations he would not be imposing tariffs on the EU.  As media likes to use hyperbole and dramatic words to get attention, its productive to remember many if not most have not engaged in high level negotiation processes that affect thousands to millions of people.

So much stupid. Yeah, Trump is gonna invade a NATO ally! I added to several stock positions and bought some 1 and 2 year bonds a 1/4 point higher than the range of the last several months. Free money!
