I believe this Porch suffers from "pathological bullishness"

all talk of Naz rising to 3500, even 4000, are inane
all talk of a Sept-Oct rally was irresponsible

we dismiss the steady onslaught of earnings warnings, economic slowdown evidence, and prefer to bash the Fed

I spoke steadily this summer of a climax in Nov-Dec-Jan, where economic slowdown would be peaking
but I didnt position myself
this board contributes to the denial in my own analysis

instead we should be getting the eff out of its way
the Fed and Greengrinch wanted to slow the economy, so we bought into the Soft Landing nonsense
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A SOFT LANDING
higher crude oil prices, together with excessive Fed tightening, will ensure at least one flat to negative GDP early next year

this board is pathologically infected
we spread the optimistic scenarios, despite all evidence to the contrary
I almost went to QQQ jan puts when Naz stalled at 3000
but I keep on hearing about endyr rallies
and I did not go short, as I wanted and planned
even Galvin was wrong

yrend rally might take us to 2900, my downtrend boundary target

thank you, broke
