Good Evening, September 25 through October 7th is historically the worst time of the year for stocks and the days leading up to that aren’t much better. That doesn’t mean you can’t make money during this time. Only that the chances of success are greatly diminished. That said our charts are good and we’re still in an uptrend with the indices all very close record highs. There’s no reason panic here. Although, I won’t be surprised if things are very choppy for the next week or two. The media excuse for all this is the threat of higher rates from the Fed. Is there anybody out there who didn’t already think there was a high probability of a rate change in December?? That’s what I thought. If I could fast forward to November 1st right now I would do it!
