As a trend follower I tend to be skeptical of "contrarians" - all but @carleygarner - it's her timing - impeccable!

[Schwab Network @SchwabNetwork]

"I think there's some good arguments for being bullish down here." 🛢️

@carleygarner shares her outlook for price action in crude oil #CL_F, and details what's next for gold #GC_F after hitting all-time highs on Monday with @FuturesBenL: https://t.co/TSrOZWz6fz

We got into it today! I get so fired up when @rjpjr12 comes on the show because he speaks my language "trend" and "avoid the tic-for-tic trading" "step away from the intraday" - lot to take away from this conversation - have a listen!

@silver- 11-year highs today!. Here's a fun fact. If you paid 49.19 in 2011 and held it to 11.74 in 2020? Today you just got 1/2 back. Only took 13 years to get half your money back. VS #SP500 from 2011 to today? from 1200 to 5350- 4150 pts or up 345%. 🎤🫳

Kind of a gloomy morning in Chicago but if the number of fedex trucks on this bridge is any indication…going to be bright and sunny for the bulls today on the close $FDX

[Ben Lichtenstein @FuturesBenL]

@cboesib @SchwabNetwork one could argue they cut in line

What Do Ya Know? - Turns out #fibonacci likes to trade #tenyearnote as well. We've just given back 1/2 of the 8 point rally #TYM4 from 105.11 (Oct 19th) to 113.12 (Dec.27) From the @BillAckman stone cold low- to the 10-month high. It was nice while it lasted. :)
