 Holy moly trade hackers today is January 8th Wednesday Welcome to today's update a little bit of a wild ride in the markets After the missiles were launched by Iran onto the Iraqi base where US troops were held Last night the market was down. The S&P was down 40 plus points 44 points is what I saw at one point just looking at it Way down here all the way down to Hello on the futures of 3181 and then once we realized that Iran Shot some missiles at us over a dozen missiles, but somehow completely missed no casualties Know nothing Everything's just great and guess what the market is back at all-time highs So I was talking to Chad last night when the market was going down oil was up over 4% S&Ps were down 40 plus VIX was up You know 10 plus percent And you know I kind of made a joke to him saying yeah watch the the s&p's will close up tomorrow In my mind really thinking wow, you know something of this magnitude from a geopolitical standpoint You know we're probably going to see some follow through to the downside So not really thinking that that would be the case, but in fact we did close up Well, we've got about 25 minutes left in the cash market But we are going to close up Not only up, but the s&p is up 30 plus points We are at record new all-time highs in the market and everything is just honky dory in Candyland, so here we are. I mean the the resilience of this market is just Unbelievable. So that's the s&p oil Again oil was up over 4% now. It's down almost four and a half percent Was down of close to five percent. I mean that's a nine point range Within you know less than 24 hours in oil And oil is down lower than where it was when we first did the attack on the iranian military leader And so I mean what a crazy ride here. So Interesting stuff very interesting stuff. So what did we do today? Well, let's take a look at a couple other things the other thing gold gold was that big and it has Completely reversed Let's see bonds bonds were up and bonds have completely reversed. So We had a lot of that flight to quality Money pouring into gold money pouring into bonds and then that is just completely reversed because all fear Every single bit of fear is subsided and we are ready to rock and roll on this market to all-time highs So a couple things in as far as what we did is Tesla Continues its march higher We've been talking about Tesla as it's been on just a huge run up another five percent today big move We put on a a reverse iron duck and so trying to play into that up move So with the reverse iron duck anything to the downside We make a little bit of money if this thing goes all the way up to About this level here anywhere in here will book max profit. So I got some time in that one left. So we'll see what happens Hopefully, you know, the this march dies down just a little bit and just kind of trades a little bit sideways for a while That would be good The other thing we did we made an adjustment in our netty gas position Just rolling to the next cycle extending duration on that piece And then taking a look at earnings So if you're in toss if you go to The market watch tab and go to calendar what you can do is you can check these boxes And so if we just check the boxes for earnings and the conference calls What you'll see Is all the different earnings now? There's not really any Companies that we care about this week, but getting into next week We get into some of the bank stocks and some of the some other big name companies that we will be paying attention to So specifically on the 14th JP Morgan city group delta airlines wells fargo And if you look in the list here, so this is the calendar view and then if you look down below You can see the actual times that these announced.
