 Good afternoon, folks. This is Larry Pesavento giving you the mid-morning update here for the stock market and all the other markets. It's an OTMMB, boys, folks, over the map. Everything is all over the map today. We're having some pretty wild swings, and the most wildest of them all is coming in Treasury bonds, folks. We've made a 50% retracement. I'm going to be covering that very shortly on my show, but pay attention to that. The rest of the markets, we're still up on the day in the Dow Jones industrial average. Yes and P is lower. The NASDAQ is lower. The NASDAQ is so weak, folks. If you took a look at it, you'd even begin to think that it's still in a major bear market here. Gold is up about $13, and we've got silver is up about $0.53, and crude oil is heading to the subbasement again, looking like it's heading toward $64, is what it looks like here from charts that we're looking at right here as we see these things unfolding here today. So those are the things that we're paying really close attention to, and I think it's important to remember, folks, we're in the Christmas season now, and believe it or not, this is when volatility will increase because there are less people around trading, and that means there's pockets of illiquity. So try to remember when you're putting these orders in that you must put your stop in. You might get a bad fill, but at least you'll be out of the market if you're wrong because if you don't put a stop in, you're telling Mrs. Market that, hey, I know where you're going, so I don't need to put a stop in, and Mrs. Market does not like to hear things like that. So be sure to remember that it's not how much money you make, it's how much money you don't lose. That's the key to what you're looking at here today, folks, because we've got some really big markets coming for 2023, and we want you to be around. By the way, Basil Chapman, December the 15th, don't miss it, folks. Get several hours with Basil, and he is the king of the hill, folks. He's got some great stuff, all so much material that you'd be hard to absorb at all, but he's going to do a great show. December 15th, Basil Chapman, don't miss it. The best $295 you can spend, that's a cost of a good meal in New York, a half a meal in Austria, and a quarter of a meal in Bangladesh. Where is the place at Monte Carlo? It's where it's the most expensive. So anyway, that's what we're looking at here this morning, so I want you, folks, to stay tuned for my show 24-7, and we'll try to cover this stuff. My guest is Jeff Hughes of Alpha Insights. We'll be right back.
