Fumar does indeed sleep on keyboards. Lucky for me he is my wife's man cat so he only walks across mine. Life is tight with a three foot by four foot table as desk, dining and sun bathing area.

Fumar, Caley, myself and my better half sold our home this summer and are supposed to be touring the country in our trailer. The cats have easily adjusted. That has not worked out so well for the humans as we are locked down in the Mojave desert. :o :cry:

Speaking of locked down how about options gamma keeping us pinned in this range through expiry.

I assume you all saw that Harknet at Bank of America issued a sell signal earlier this week because of low liquidity. I also assume that Pasta Boss will be posting the rules for the Santa Rally that should start late next week.

My best guess is a new Covid deal is reached this weekend allowing the bots to jerk us up to a new all time higher high Sunday night. Then the usual sell the move first part of the week before we move into the year end rally. All done on very low volume with a lack of conviction because you know the decision makers are heading for their private jets and a winter holiday this weekend. :!:

Welcome back. I was wondering where you were. Sounds like you and your family are having quite the adventure. I hope you and the family, including the cats, are all doing well. Do your cats get your attention by sleeping on the keyboard? Ha ha

That's because the keyboard is warm, not he wants any attention. :mrgreen:

True that they want heat. But, equally so, they want attention, on their own terms. They have charmed humans going back to the days of the Egyptian pharaohs and before. They have a kind of regal arrogance. "I will just sit right here, on your work papers, or even take a nap." Ha ha. God bless 'em.

Mr. B checking in.

NYMO cycle looks down but has not confirmed.
It is hovering just above the zero line and looking neutral.
Model needs two closes below zero to flip to down.

Price is gap-o-licious.
We've now got 19 down gaps by my count. :shock:
This is not comforting IMO.
A bad piece of news or something, and Mr. Market could fall down the elevator shaft.
Perhaps a turn after OPEX?
As I have said so many times before though, I have no idea what will happen.

I am still long SPX. My R2K runner got taken out by a trailing stop that was just a tad too tight (mistake).
I do have short setups incubating, but they won't activate unless/until price turns.

I read article saying they might be actually thinking of killing you even though we human think they're charming. And they think we're the pet, they are the master. :mrgreen:

They certainly do have that arrogance. And they have the killer gene. I remember how shocked I was, as a child, the first time I saw a cat torturing a poor helpless mouse. And they will get the budgie in the cage. It is kind of surprising how well they can get along with dogs.

Our cats had bad mothers who failed to teach them how to kill. Kept bringing mice into the house and watching them. Lucky for us our French Bulldog knew exactly what to do!

That's so funny. Chinese saying about dog catching mouse is to mind other's business therefore not a good word for people. :mrgreen:
