they usually are in lock step with the U.S. market–also early rallies show that investors aren’t concerned and still believe the buy the dip mantra….in a bull phase, opening dips are the rule…that are quickly bought.

Gartman: “A Full-Fledged Bear Market Is Upon Us; We Added To Our Short”

It looks to me

like the utilities are extremely oversold ! Bottom soon ! worth watching !

Looks like a big opening for the SM

Posted by Buygold @ 9:30 on February 9, 2018

Up 250 or so on the DOW – we’ll see if they can hold it all day

Scumprints all over our pm’s again but that’s par for the course, whether the SM is up or down

10 yr rates up a little – bad for gold but great for the SM?

Most commodities not doing well.

Nvidia up $20 – as R640 no fear there.

This time the “stocks always come back” [like 89-2000-2008] will cause massive losses for bulls who do not sell and buy all the way down–[primarily institutions and other big money managers]—here is an article that tries to calm investors and minimize what is happening=

Don’t Forget This Bull Market Hasn’t Been Correction-Proof

This is the fifth one since 2009, not to mention plenty of other drops.

Bill Gates=never saw a vaccine he didn’t like! Instead of using his money to improve public health facilities like clean water and enviro-friendly waste treatment-it all goes to vaccines

Posted by Richard640 @ 8:04 on February 9, 2018

I wonder how many big pharma stocks he owns? A cute trick–give money to a tax free charity then pumps up the profits of the companies u own by the charity buying zillions of doses at full price. Bill attacks viciously any anti-vaccine research/evidence.

Heroes

On the doorstep of victory

The world is closer than ever before to wiping out polio.

Last year, the world saw the fewest number of polio cases—just 21, according to the latest figures.

That’s incredible, especially when you consider that just 30 years ago, there were 350,000 cases of polio per year worldwide.

The heroes who have made this progress possible are the millions of vaccinators who have gone door to door to immunize more than 2.5 billion children. Thanks to their work 16 million people who would have been paralyzed are walking today.

But the job is not over. The few polio cases left can be found in three countries: Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Nigeria. Many of the vaccinators in these countries continue to work in difficult and dangerous conditions to protect children from this paralyzing disease.

They deserve our thanks and support as we work toward the day when no child is at risk of polio.

I just checked–it’s 7:42 here in NY…the overnight S&P-has given back the gain of 34 pts and is now slightly negative–that only happens when a market is in a bear phase…where are the brave bulls who used to “pray for a correction” so that they could add to their longs?

March S&P futures=

open=2593.75

high=2617.00

low=2583.00

last=2586.50

[the cash S&P futures is now down 4 pts.]
