Last weekend of skiing here in Park City - sucks b/c we have incredible snow coverage still. But - there's always SNOWBIRD!!

Get it in, you only have 12 more years.

Damn I forgot....?!!!? ;^)

Great conditions still at Sunshine and Lake Louise.

Another solid day. For second day in a row, IWM led. Breadth was improved today with good net volume (although both not as good as 4/1). That was despite bonds also having some support. Energy led but just about everything was up today (from utes to staples to tech to biotech to real estate). Retail was flat. Solid day for the bulls. Only issue is we are starting to get a little overbought but sentiment is not frothy so while it represents a headwind, there is a lot to be positive about.

Neil, are you subscribing to MorningStar Premium?

I do. Best value out there I think.

Yes, I have a subscription. It's the best value out there in terms of subs IMHO.

The only reason you aren't happy is if you are not net long. I remain over 100% net long, so I love it. Some are not, particularly on this forum given Doug's penchant for being short the last few years absent his absolutely accurate call to get net long in December. Since that December low, anyone short (or in cash) is not happy about this grind higher....

I agree James. It's a good ride, but I'll have a quick trigger finger.

Have a great weekend all!

Dougie,

thx for the gr8 photos on twitter at Yale w. Dr. Shiller
..would like to be "a fly on the wall"

AT&T is starting to move here... ex-div on Tuesday (04/09)

yup

I need about 36 on this sluggard to do a tail dance on the water.

you might see it fish, and that price is not at all out of line... ;-)

WOW-if I had to vote today--

J.P. Morgan announced a $350 million job training effort for underserved communities last month. Last year, the bank unveiled a $500 million effort to revitalize cities.

“No one can claim that the promise of equal opportunity is being offered to all Americans through our education systems, nor are those who have run afoul of our justice system getting the second chance that many of them deserve,” Dimon said. “Simply put, the social needs of far too many of our citizens are not being met.”
Plain and simple, this is a collective failure to put the needs of society ahead of our personal, parochial and partisan interests,” Dimon said. “If we do not fix these problems, America’s moral, economic and military dominance may cease to exist.”

Who thinks Joe Biden is a pedophile or woman abuser?

TV was on for 10 minutes and happened upon a weird segment (CNN) about Joe Biden>>making a big deal about nothin'? Really-- Hugging is bad?-- then I'm Bad!

I don't support anyone, as it stands...
maybe Jamie Dimon, as of yesterday--
loved his speech and thoughts about Capitalism and Spreading the Wealth..
Jamie Dimon is a 3D MAN!
If he ran i'd vote for him..
Yep ME-- Supporting a Bankster!
--but what gives with Joe Biden?
Bear Hugs to y'all...
P.S. gotta differentiate 'Bear Hugs' not GRABS...

THX D.J.
-- Jamie Dimon IS speaking my language;
Of course, always lots of 'good speak' pre-election..

Throwing up in my mouth!

Biden is all about corruption and cutting deals for family members through govt channels

if Trump had done what he has done just imagine

Trump has done worse..from the young girls in the USA pageant.. Obviously he has a filthy mouth... we all heard on that infamous tape.
He, himself said he loves to grab, because he can!
not questioning Stormy--
(that was a willing, adult consensual agreement)
however the payoff was more than questionable?? he should have just admitted to it and acknowledged her...IMO--

but just sayin' since when is a hug a crime?

-- I'm not tawkin' Charlie Rose or Harvey Weinstein, etc..either--
i support the "Times Up" Movement--but are we really going to get worse in the coming election, nitpicking, while so many important issues get pushed to the back burner? OY.

that has nothing to do with govt corruption

i agree- but what do you call going after Bill Clinton>> the Ken Starr Report?
Impeachment?
Distraction at it's worst!! if ya ask me,, but no one did??
Bin Laden was laughed at/ terror ignored (destruction in Kenya and Tanzania- embassies)..
Even the CIA called the bombings a watershed event leading up to 911... + Somalia + the USS Cole in Yemen..
Gov't Corruption??? IDK---
what I do know... "Little Stuff" has MAJOR CONSEQUENCES!

Big stuff does not carry consequences. See BHO and Hillary. Biden is a crook. His personal behavior is very creepy at the very least. You don't touch children. They weren't hugs.

Only heard some debates this morning and saw some photos out of context. I will be more aware--I told u- basically A-political.
let's face it Charlie Rose was a hero of sorts, until...NOT!
One of my go-to favs.. for an intellectual debate. It was sad news.
I can change my mind. "The Facts ma'am just the facts".. hard to know fact vs. fiction, anywhere?!

MD2...people that change their mind based on facts are my kind of people!

I try to be impartial; we are all somewhat biased> human nature!

xx

What the hell kind of response is this?

sorry J..i posted the above twice by accident-- so took it off.. see above to Clutch-- I am as impartial as one can be with human confirmation bias. I hate when I repeat myself- often do..
The xxx 's are place holders- ya cannot delete a message without adding 2 or 3 characters.

I was just jealous. I'm over it now. Sad, but life goes on.

U raised your voice.. I jumped.

I can be intimidating, but very gentle.
Have a great weekend Miss D.

u as well-
just when I think I gotcha, U fool me..
Who is the greater fool?
XOXO

I'm happy again!

go play some golf- start practicing for next year..

me too-

Nice seeing all my DOW gains over the last three days go POOF! Thanks JPM you wankers. Had a sell order in $2.5 higher and I cancelled it. urgh...
