BOOM, BOOM: Dow at Record New All-Time High, Existing Home Sales Near 10 Year High

This is not what a recession looks like.

Austrian-lites lose.



And this from The Wall Street Journal:



And the Fed is going to raise rates again--soon. They are not going to reverse the last hike. They are not going to push rates into negative territory because "they have run out of fire power."



And who would have thought a Donald Trump election victory would have been a buying opportunity in stocks.

This is what I wrote in the EPJ Daily Alert on Friday the week before the election:
It still seems difficult to get a good handle on who is going to win this election. There is a possibility I may accelerate some buying on Monday but KNOW this I consider it a major buying opportunity if Trump wins the election and the markets sell off.
Here are some of the positions that were on the recommended list in the ALERT going into the election:
 Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bull 3X ETF (SYMBOL: SPXL)

iShares Dow Jones U.S. ETF (Symbol:IYY)

 iShares U.S. Financials ETF (Symbol:IYF)
All these positions remain on.

  2. RW, congratulations on your stock picks. However, you communicate as if QE actually helped the economy by pumping risk assets.

    The real economy remains in borderline recession. Any prediction on Durable Orders tomorrow?
