Good Evening, Normally I like November both as a family time and a good trading month. This time I think I’m glad to see it go as far as trading goes. The G-20 summit began today in Brazil. The headlines say the participants are united against protectionism. So does that mean that their united against us and will they be against protectionism if they are the ones getting the short end of the stick? Just saying… There are also numerous comments about how the US and China are making progress. I certainly hope that’s true but I want to see it before I get too excited. The main focus of investors, remains on the how trade relations are going with China, how accommodating the Fed is and whats going on with oil. If all the stars line up we should get a nice rally into the new year. Either way I’ll react to what I see on my charts. I’m a little off cycle right now but that will come to an end when the charts call for our next move. Sometimes you just have to do the right thing and then be patient when your playing the long game. Also, I would be amiss not to repeat that there are a lot of things that could go wrong this weekend. I’m optimistic but I’m also happy to sit this one out and see exactly where it goes.
