Wait, what the hell is going on here?
The S&P500 (SPX) was up +17.1% in 28 trading days as of Friday's close. Absolutely absurd.
But what if I told you it was also the first time a ramp up that hard (+17.1%), that fast (<=28 trading days) had happened since the beginning of computerized trading (1982) where EITHER:
- VIX was under 22 (it closed Friday at 17.15)
OR
- SPX closed at a new all time high close (it got close in 1991)
Freak out all you want about analogs to 1999, this has never happened before in most of our lifetimes.
Should you buy puts? Calls? A gun? Pack of hyenas?
What do I care?
GOD, I missed me.
As the row continues over Angela Rayner’s stamp duty, she claims she received bad advice from someone who didn’t fully understand the complex issues of tax and finance
Since inception, the S&P has spent 7.5% of all trading days at a record high, 46% of days within 5% of a record high, and 61% of days within 10% of a record high
Yet, every day there are hundreds of column inches taken up with nonsense about how 'the end is nigh' 🤦♂️

@Halfords_uk Could you let me know of an email address for customer complaints? My wheel was damaged by a mobile fitting and I need to escalate this from the local hub.
Come on Twitter. If you love small British sports car manufacturers this needs spreading far and wide because the implications are massive. The government doesn’t even have to do anything, just say what it intends. Not too much to ask, surely?
Even with the S&P 500 losing nearly -1.5%, more than 300 of its stocks rose today.
Since the index became a 500-stock index in 1957, this had never happened before.
The only days with more than 250 advancers were:
• April 14, 1999
• April 19, 1999
• April 12, 2000
