    [color=blue][i][b]Where have we been and where we are ….Wishing all a great week ahead ๐Ÿ™‚
    US T-BILLs are at all time LOW yields (danger sign) :Equities soar like it’s 1929 :woohoo:
    And good ECON & EARNING reports — plus low inflation & dovish FED are helping sustain ๐Ÿ˜†
    Spring time is on way to SW VIRGINIA & can’t wait to plant spring crops
    Saw a fascinating bird fight between a HAWK & group of crows (or maybe that was “D” debate) ๐Ÿ˜‰ :woohoo:
    The herd is active & on the prowl — and like them we all should be cautious for developments ahead [/b][/i][/color]

    [size=5][i][b]Ohhhhh the humanity FEEL THE BERN :woohoo: The BERN wins NEVADA prominently & now clear leader in delegates Still, I think it’s more his own party than the Ruskies trying to “interfere in 2020 elections” … Also he is like #45 as one can see keeping their promises, (like #45 has attempted) but I hope & pray our great nation does not give up on capitalism & founding principles.

    A lot of youth like “anti-establishment” & even greater social programs
    as he is “cool” in that genre[/b][/i][/size]

    Another Wild Night ….

    S&P 500 futures pretty much flat on the day now BUT

    We are seeing a potential turnaround in the market after another extension of the risk rout earlier? Or will there be more selling later in the day once Wall Street steps in?

    After sharp moves in the market, there is always the scope for a pullback. So perhaps this is it, but perhaps we could see a deeper pullback as well later in the session.

    Any major fears of the virus hitting the US (now the key focus in the outbreak) are the focus
    [b]
    Global Times’ editor, Hu Xijin, has already begun to put a spin to that story here:[/b]

    “I think now the US is the country with potential large uncertainties. Many doubt that the US has only 57 cases of coronavirus. It can’t be ruled out there is problem with the diagnosis. COVID-19 is probably the biggest variable to the US economy and US presidential election.”

    Coronavirus headlines continue to evolve more rapidly, expect that to weigh on risk and any pullback will likely be short-lived with fear and hysteria still riding high now

    Oil continues to keep losses under $50 now.
