  • I agree, I spent the entire day in disbelief, there is no logic to the way the market has reacted the past few days, unless tomorrow is a blood bath, then it makes perfect sense. Reverse rope a dope.

  • I sold Copper futures just after the PMI and hit the low tick (grr)....Covered for a nice loss. Makes no sense. Copper should be getting slammed. I'm short again hoping for some sanity to come on!
