Today was a pivotal day, according to my models. I know most people here are not short-term traders, but a few well-placed market index puts might provide a nice hedge in case anything weird happens in the next few weeks.

The bond drop was particularly troublesome for me. I had really hoped that the long bond rate was stabilizing. Now I'm not so sure. If the long bond continues to rise, even the stocks of great companies could be badly hurt, as the Fed follows rising long-term bond rates with its own increases.

Just a warning from a perpetual worrier who hedges whenever danger signs arise.

Still, we're in the November-January Effect period. Has anyone looked at my study? More than 50% of stock market gains in the past 30 years have occurred in the November through January period. That's pretty surprising to me.
