SPY SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust

$SPY $QQQ $IWM The Dow closed green today, and so did the average stock in the S&P. If that were all you looked at, you'd have no idea that 47 of the 50 biggest AI names finished red, that AMD lost 7.5% the day before it reports, or that Palantir grew revenue 96% after the bell and fell anyway. The median name in that group now sits about 46% below its high, and that's been the story for months. The index keeps telling everybody things are fine, while a lot of us on these boards watch our accounts say something else. The country has been living with its own version of that split all year. On paper, it looks strong. The economy grew at a 3.4% rate last quarter, and the S&P was setting records as recently as October. Consumer sentiment hit its lowest reading on record this year anyway, and it isn't hard to see why. Gas is over $4 a gallon, inflation keeps coming in hot, and the war on the news every night is now in its ninth month. Most people don't live in the index. Tomorrow they get a say. It's the first national vote since 2024, with every House seat, 35 Senate seats and 36 governors on the ballot. Congress was built to be the first check on a president, and for two years this one has mostly waved him through. The result decides whether that changes, and it's the one check that never crosses his desk. Some of what rides on it isn't on the ballot at all. In October, the President promised no attacks on Iran before the midterms. That promise runs out tomorrow. At a rally in Iowa last night, he said the war is going to be over very soon, and in the same speech that at some point the U.S. is going to have to "give them the hammer." Netanyahu is reportedly pushing him to strike right after the election. U.S. crude fell more than 7% today on reports that both sides are trying to talk their way out of it, which tells you how badly the market wants that to be true. Americans have already died in this war. Whoever decides what happens next will be watching the returns like the rest of us. Then there's the count itself. Some races won't be called for days, and the closest could end up in court. That happens in a normal year. The harder test comes after. The whole system runs on the people who lose accepting that they lost, and most of them do. Anyone who trades knows the one who won't, with a reason for every tick while the loss keeps growing. The last time enough of the losing side refused, it ended at the Capitol. I'd like to think we only needed to see that once. I'm less sure than I used to be. Still, the country has voted through worse. In 1918, Americans went to the polls in the middle of a pandemic, some of them in masks, with the armistice six days away. This year, more than 53 million people have already voted, more than voted early in the entire 2022 midterm, and Election Day hasn't even started. After the year we've had, that's a lot of people who still think it's worth showing up. Vote if you haven't. The war, gas prices and the AI trade will all be here Wednesday, and so will the argument over which result the market wanted.

$SPY If you think Wall St is going to let the market be red for the ANTHROPIC IPO in Nov you are tripping

$SPY $QQQ I bet there will be a ton of registered Republicans secretly voting Blue tomorrow. You have to be beyond stupid to vote for more of this idiocracy.

$SPY can’t wait till Dems make Merica go to hell in a hand basket. We’re gonna wrek this country with socialized healthcare for all and better transit to hell. All Because we know how to spell, D U M with a B

$SPY Nightmare? Respectfully shut your ass up. We are barely off all time highs. We are barely getting started. You zoomers have zero idea what real pain is yet. $AAPL $PLTR $INTC $AMD

$SPY $DJT $QQQ The Irish were the very FIRST immigrant group to come to America—only to then face massive discrimination (“No Irish need apply”). Now, many of their descendants today are doing the same thing to other immigrant groups. Shameful. (That’s Michael Collins in photo)

$SPY Sick to my stomach. Lost all my money would’ve hit big if I just held the puts like I planned to do. I knew I should’ve just waited till an hour after open but I bought puts at open and couldn’t handle the chop and the pump before the dump. So pathetic.

$SPY At some point the algos take over when they see the same patterns, and it all becomes self fulfilling. If the black swan is going to happen, it will be in the next 48 hours.

$SPY normally locked congress is good for markets but they’re locking all the perks FOR the market. So i think we have problems. But im just a space captain who flies bistros

$SPY striking Iran the eve of the elections. They're like f it, we're going to lose anyway, might as well do whatever we want. My only question is, after everything this administration did, how on earth do we still have millions taking their votes to them? I think i know the answer to that. Afraid of blacks, Hispanics (now), transgenders, bathrooms, and all that nonsense. $DJT $AAPL $NVDA

$SPY I said on Friday the run up was all Window Dressing by HFs so the last PMs taht hadn't owned the winners bought what was up for the month & some sold that today Today & maybe tomorrow is a clearing event so really,.. let the flush happen & remember, its a new month, money has to find a home. It was really just noise today maybe you get the move higher or we wait for the midterms but today was just your avg, New Month with midterms day $BB $MSFT $AMZN $AAPL

$SPY $QQQ For those of you who've been following all my analysis, just a quick heads up that there is a out of sync cycle for QQQ that is possibly coming to an end very soon. That cycle has an ideal end date on Wednesday. In theory the cycle could've ended today but could be as late as next Monday. So I share this because if the QQQ daily cycle ends at some point today/next couple of days, we are going to see some kind of bounce for a lot of names. Again, play it defensively. Don't go all in on a direction. Protect your capital. Take profits!

$SPY Looks like he meant next Monday. " Monday looks like a great day to buy tech stocks:

$SPY China's CSI 300 down .97% Kospi down 2.42% Ukraine hitting more Russian refineries. U.S. bombing Iran again.

$SPY If Iran makes a nuclear weapon, next will be Afghanistan, sryria, oman, yemen and god know who else .... Will be a super safe world I guess? $AAPL $SPCX $QQQ $ADBE

$SPY If there is a nuclear attack in the next three days because of this fking 4sshole, nobody will even be surprised. That's the point that we've gotten to.

$SPY $Djt This ahole has caused so much stress and misery to the world and American families dragging this war out ...playing games ...keeping everyone guessing. The guy is not straightforward and a deranged . Get his ass out of office.

$SPY Why is there a message covering my streaming football game about our fat fvck, gasbag President who is supposed to make some BS statement?!?!?! Where do I live?? North Korea????? $QQQ

$SPY $QQQ "What am I to do?" cried Donaldson. "I still have 46 more polling stations to hit. "It was also getting hard to drive with the stickers covering my eyes," explained Donaldson. "It's a long drive between polling places, so that just wasn't a real solution”

$SPY Last couple of days have been an absolute nightmare yet it’s still far away from auto-buy levels… I thought 7500 is auto buy but I’m not so sure anymore…
