@JermalChandler SPX driven by people's $$$, Sentiment is a survey. I always go with numbers where someone has skin in the game.

Everyone is trying to claim me for their tribe. There’s no R next to my name, there’s no D next to my name. I’m not part of a political party, because I hate politicians. I’m just Spencer, husband to Heidi, father to Ryker and Gunner, and I’m a pissed off Angeleno who loves my city and is fed up with what corrupt politicians have done to her.

@PunkXBT_ Thanks there's a more comprehensive paper coming- I'd dug into this with $SPX and didn't find much - it doesn't work with $RUT - which is intersting because the idea came from someone at a conference saying elevated call skew as FOMO for RUT

@chigrl @DeItaone This is one of my first lessons for undergrads - if you show up at an inverview an cite the Dow as the stock market you are not going very far.

In Vinnytsia, Ukraine, a female stork was widowed when her mate died. She is incubating her eggs and is unable to feed herself.

Local residents have started feeding her.

@BrianSozzi I’m terrified people are going to think this is a $VIX related etp.

@chigrl Me too - no shockers like Rachel being on Fox News.
