Last Week: Toughest week of the year with everything going on while we are in election season.

Challenge Account: No changes, still in a swing trade.
2k to 1.2k (down from 4.7k portfolio high)

Relevant Topics, News, and Data:

  • Monday: Services/Non-Manf. data

  • Tuesday: Fednow GDP, 3Y auction

  • Wednesday: 10Y auction, Consumer Credit

  • Thursday: 30Y auction, Jobless Claims

  • Buffett Sells AAPL

  • Labor Market Data comes in hot

  • Yields Plummet

  • Trump wining odds drop hand in hand with the SPY SPX

  • Morgan Stanley can recommend BTC products to clients

  • 3 rate cuts priced in by December

  • Recession indicators fire off

Like I said, last week was the biggest week of the year. Now we have a market throwing a tantrum after the labor market data on Friday. These market events are massive money makers that can be played on the buy side or sell side. My plan is to play the buy side.

The big question is; Do we need Powell to cut rates to stop the panic? Or can the markets settle down on its own. Fednow GDP on Tuesday will be key to see how the economy is doing relative to these possible three rate cuts.

I personally do not care how this plays out. The treasury portfolio is doing well and will continue to perform if we get continued market tantrum.

Time to get ready and set for the rest of 2024.
