Fear & Greed Index For Today👇

  • 57 yesterday & 56 Today.

  • The market took a breather today and this is 100% fine and healthy.

  • In a perfect world, we would always be in the “neutral” range.

  • Be greedy when others are fearful.

  • Be fearful when others are greedy.

Today’s Economic Updates👇

  • 30 year fixed mortgage rate up slightly to 6.72% today vs 6.71% yesterday.

  • 10 year treasury bond yield unchanged at 4.18% today.

  • First-time claims for unemployment benefits increased by 9,000 to 224,000 last week, in line with the 13-week moving average of 226,000 and a sign of a labor market where workers have a remarkable level of job security.

  • 70.1% chance we get a 25bps cut Dec 18th, down from 79% chance yesterday.

Tomorrow Is The Big Day

  • Tomorrow (Friday) we get a lot of very important data that can give clues into the true strength of the U.S. economy.

  • The data drops at 5:30am pst and the market will be closely watching.

Current Expectations:

  • U.S. employment report 👉 214,000 new jobs expected

  • U.S. unemployment rate 👉 4.2% expected

  • U.S. hourly wages 👉 0.3% MoM expected

So What Does This Mean?

  • Basically the best case scenario is if all the data comes in at expectations.

  • If the data comes in strong, that will indicate the US economy is strong but there will be the flip side of the argument that rates will prob stay higher for longer cause inflation may re-spark and the economy can handle the tighter policy.

  • If the data comes in weak, that will indicate the US economy is potentially heading for recession, which of course is BAD. Yea people will say this is good for interest rate sensitive stocks, but I disagree.

  • I would much rather choose kinda high rates and a strong economy, vs a weak economy with low rates.

My Overall Feel of The Market

  • Is the market a little lofty? Yea

  • Does this mean I am selling? No

  • I am just saying to be careful now and do not just buy things cause they are going up.

  • We are investors, not speculators.

  • The plan is to buy undervalued companies/ETFs and hold them for a few years minimum.

  • When we find deals, we will use stock options to magnify returns. (usually buying calls & selling puts)

  • Day traders are amateurs and 99% will never make it to the big leagues.

  • The name of the game is VERY simple.

  • Do NOT complicate it.

Final Comments On Today👇

  • The market took a breather today which brought things into slightly better balance.

  • Bitcoin cracked $100k and is currently around $99k. (Only invest what you can afford to lose if you must get in)

  • All eyes on the jobs data tomorrow

  • Everyone is a genius in a bull market.

  • Keep your emotions in check.

  • Continue to DCA into quality stocks/ETFs at good prices.

  • When you find undervalued companies, use options to magnify gains
