 OK folks Larry Passemento giving a little mid-morning update of what's happening in the stock market and we're rocking and rolling over there folks. We've had a really strong market this morning early with the Dow Jones up about 250 points and then it immediately reversed and dropped 250 points. It's sitting down now about 0.4 or 500 points under the high, S&P made a little bit higher high than yesterday. The NASDAQ didn't even come close and neither did the Russell. Actually the Russell did come close. It took it up by just a little bit but nothing dramatic. Gold has had a little bit of a rally here. We made a low of 16.33 last night. We rallied up almost to the exact 61% retracement at 16.62. The high was 16.60 and we're trading around 16.48 right now and we still believe that's got a little bit of a downward bias. In the news of course we're talking about the COVID restrictions over in China. That was the real reason for the rally they said early in the morning on Bloomberg because they were going to review all restrictions or take all restrictions away in China that proved to be a non-starter. In other words it was false information. Everybody's talking about our election that comes up I believe it's a week from today. Always an exciting time because you know what happens right after the election folks? They start talking about the election in 2024 so just to sit back and enjoy it it's almost like Comedy Central over there on all the channels. I mean it's just amazing the stuff that's put on there and you know it's even more amazing. People actually enjoy watching that. I happen to not be one of them because I'll tell you it's a little scary when you see it on what's going on here. But anyway those are just a few things that are going on in the world. There was one other thing and that was a thing with the Russian grain. Evidently that was blown a little bit out of proportions also that maybe it was not exactly what Russia meant because grain is still coming out of the Crimea. And for that reason we've had a sell-off now in the grain. So it's up on one day down on the next. It's what you like to see. It's the old Chinese curse folks. Be careful what you ask for you just might get it. The Chinese curse I believe is oh dear I can't even remember what it was. Son of a gun and here I read loud so all the time and I oh my gosh I just can't remember it that's a bad sign for today anyway hopefully I'll remember some of these things related to the market eight seven seven nine two seven six six four eight.
