Saturday Trades Friday Update 12/22/2023

Markets a little soft this morning – Expect a rally

Markets are a little soft this morning after yesterday’s late afternoon explosion higher. We know the trend is higher, no reason to expect that to change, yet.

Volume is light, the bias is up and we expect this rally to continue into January. There is no reason to fight it, if you want to be short, observe. Don’t put yourself in jeopardy, wait for a switch indirection.

If not done already, complete all rolls. Some will be ugly and should be done as 3 legged know the short Puts will expire worthless today. If in the QQQ roll to Tuesday.

I will send a recording over the weekend with new trades and a recap
