Good Evening, Yesterday was the worst day so far of 2019. Stocks fell when the Chinese Yuan fell to a multiyear low against the dollar prompting President Trump to declare the Chinese as a currency manipulator. The market then rebounded this morning when the Chinese surprisingly took measures to stabilize their currency above it’s then current level. This market has been and remains unpredictable and bipolar. I almost pulled the plug on stocks this morning but decided to wait and see if this rebound had legs. Many of our indicators are whipsawing back and forth. So you almost have to give them a little room to run one way or the other before you can truly assess their signals…..
