30 April. Anyone positioning brackets on anything?

Hey bro, I stayed on the sidelines.

Man though, kind of an unhealthy looking reaction to the cut huh? ha ha

Looks like the Dow is actually down for the day. ha ha

I didn't put much thought into it, but in hindsight, it made perfect sense that they were going to cut-

They just started releasing the "stimulus" checks early, so I figure the last thing they would do is raise rates and "slow down the economy".

I guess a cut was to be expected, just to help boost this stimulus crap.

All armchair quarterbacking from me though, as I had no position.

Jobs data will be interesting. Trading opportunities can't be beat. I would like to have a better feeling on the investment side of the house though!

If you saw the Vix coming down trading in the options lately has been great. As for investing we're in the middle of a rotation so if you're on the wrong side expect your portfolio to be heading south for about another month. It's a stock pickers market and it's pretty easy that everyone is jumping into tech lately.
