The politicized Fed will be a source of increased volatility in 2026.

It’s always nice to know that the Fed is guaranteeing stocks will skyrocket in 26
record high SPX touch just a short hair away at 6920, we can see that today easy if we see a weak inflation print

I mean it's just a delayed report at this point since it's inflation data from October. Does the market really need a catalyst to make a new high? Not really at this point, wouldn't be surprised with a Santa rally for the end of the year.

When did they change Fed Chair to Fed President. Something strange going on.

For someone who has said the Fed talks too much and gives too many speeches, he sure does talk a lot lol.

But he’s right that the Fed members talk too much about each meeting. It’s ridiculous to go from a 90% chance of a cut to a 30% back to a 90% in a matter of weeks. But maybe take your own advice? We all know where Fed Funds are going, only thing we don’t know is where the ten year is going.

It’s always nice to know that the Fed is guaranteeing stocks will skyrocket in 26, 100% of investment banks agree stocks have nowhere to go but up.

“So it’s no surprise that nine major investment banks polled by the Financial Times expect stocks to rise in 2026; the average of their estimates is by 10%.”

Trust an investment bank at your peril .If stocks are going up 10% in 2026 , it’ll be after a 39% drawdown the same as what happened on Liberation Day .

No investment bank will buy at these levels , they’ll rinse the mutual funds beforehand

That’s guaranteed

Zero chance of that happening, and everyone is buying at these levels. Might want to get a new chart provider if you can’t see that.

Are the two oldest rules in the book, fight the Fed and the trend is your enemy? No they are not.

You might want to understand trading methodology and how investment bank strategies . They don’t care about either the Fed or trend . You’ll get a 39% drawdown, guaranteed .

It’s even more obvious that you’re a complete novice who drip feeds money into the market . Trading requires skill , timing and patience , not qualities you possess apparently ( if you believe there’s 10% upside in equities from these levels ) . In fact, it’s delusional.

Look at your chart on a macro level . Stop parroting the investment bank narrative , you fool .

Well my decades of professional trading experience allowed me to make countless predictions here that have all come true. I’m guessing you are just another perma bears who is angry about losing money. Should have listened to me when I said we were going nowhere but up since April and to buy every dip. Called the top in gold here in real time as well. But hey, just keep believing you can predict what the market will do, and losing money lol.

I really don’t care what you yapped on about , most professionals both retail and institutional were long post April , not sure why you’re boasting about a basic entry level call .

If you are a professional then take heed , cyclical flows year end, push/ pull distribution and crater for the drawdown . This is bog standard stuff so being a professional you should be well versed in what I’m saying .

Final leg of the distribution phase before the drawdown . I’ll say it again , professional traders don’t buy in this phase , mutuals do. It’s $ cost investing for them with an infinite time span .

Ok ego boy, make an actual trading call. Right here right now. Otherwise it is just b.s.

Saying we might go down a bunch someday is ridiculous. Of course markets can have corrections and rare black swans can happen. That’s not tradeable. Make an actual trade call and we will see what happens. I posted a lot on the morning of the 21st when we double bottomed at 6500 to go long, and I posted many times previously that was the support level. Then I posted I was out at 6830. 330 point gain posted in real time.

What’s your call?

Hmm, too scared to make a call? Sounds about right lol. Typical clueless perma bear.
You really are quite foolish .

Professional traders don’t “ make calls “ . Honestly , I do wonder about the calibre of traders on here .

Professionals ( both retail/ institutional look at ROR , this is basic info to understand how investments return the highest yield . You obviously don’t understand macro and cyclical returns .

Good night

Professional traders don’t trade? Ok got it. Last time I checked you have to actually trade to be a trader, which by definition requires making a call. Dumbest post ever lol.

No one makes predictions that all come true. Probably you've been trading for decades because you're still trying to find something that works.
