Ackman is publicly massively short. He wants to scaremonger (again) the markets into his favor. I find it nonsense he is claiming "the market is doing the Fed's job" by selling off. It is all a part of the tightening cycle. If he thinks the markets are selling now because of inflation and NOT because the Fed are putting the brakes on, he is kidding no one. We had massive inflation for the last year and a half.. why didn't the markets puke then? Oh yea, accommodative Fed. What has changed now? Fed taking the punch bowl away at the party.

If the Fed came out tomorrow and does what Ackman claims: " How does this downward market spiral end? It ends when the Fed puts a line in the sand on inflation and says it will do ‘whatever it takes.’" .. I guarantee the market would continue the plummet even more violently.

Dude makes no sense here.

On this we shall disagree. The Fed has been worthless. Contrary to many beliefs, those fucks on the Fed arent stupid. They know they screwed the pooch on inflation and they still refuse to do what needs done. This is willful. How are you enjoying this "transitory" "soft landing"?

In no way am I defending the Fed. They are miles behind the curve. I am merely pointing out Ackman's flawed logic that mysteriously benefits his bet against the markets.

Margin stats. The bleed in margin accounts is real. The free credit in margin accounts has not increased as margin debt has decreased so I'm guessing that most of those 50 billions from margin debt was vaporized in liquidations since the new year.

NVDA reporting today.

There's a chance they put up some good numbers with the recent fall in card prices and most sites were out of stock immediately for a select few cards but that isn't any something i want to bet my money on.

A lot of money can be made or lost but I've learned that it's just not worth it.

Market is also closed on Monday.

The way the current market is they will either crush earnings but some Fed president will say "raise rates by 200 basis points" and the market will drag NVDA down or they will make/miss earnings but lower guidance and the stock will drop 25%.

The fact the CPI is so manipulated its disgusting that the fed is even behind on the fake CPI reports, if we compared to how far behind real inflation it is, it's criminal.

We just rejected the top of channel on SPY. Granted it is only over a month, but it has held up top and bottom for this period. We either break above and hold and run, or we are headed back to bottom of channel lows.
