This week we have ISM reports, Libation Day (April 2) and Payroll Report.
Some years back I was talking with 2 older co-workers about Ford's Mustang Bullitt Anniversary Edition commercial with Steve Mcqueen. This younger woman overheard us and said, "Who's Steve Mcqueen?" I replied, "Vin Diesel's father".

Nah. Small caps up 14% in 2024 and have given back half of that in 2025
Post See new posts Conversation Carl Quintanilla @carlquintanilla FUNDSTRAT: “.. Our top idea for 2024 is small-caps, where we see at least 50% upside .. Russell 2000 companies are set to grow .. faster than the $SPX .. Valuations are far more attractive .. when CEO confidence recovers, we also see the low valuations as setting the stage for synergistic M&A ..”
Getting dark out there in prediction land. We were supposed to get an adjustment to correct for big inventory buying in front of the tariffs. I assume that is not in the numbers yet but geez.

Ok, I wasn't going to post this but yours inspired me, errrrr, at least changed my mind:
"She keeps me warm in the winter Shady in the summertime That's what I like about that fat gal of mine And when I see my landlord There's so much of her to hide behind You wouldn't pay rent if your time was spent like mine
Now she's so sweet with the softest heart She's pretty soft around other parts And at night when I lay me down I don't need a pillar when she's around"

I know I know I know - No No No!
Someone stands to gain from this exercise, and I can't see it being the general public (Main St.).

Just seems the White House wants to cause a recession and drive stock prices down. Not sure I want to be in the way as that happens. That's their goal and I think they will succeed.

I'll probably keep selling down to around 35%.

Nasdaq was up 2% after hours at first but is now down 4%. This is terrible. The uncertainty is the worst thing.
Wednesday saw further volatility roil markets as tensions ran high ahead of Trump's announcement, but stocks ultimately ended the session in the green.

there was no uncertainty. Listening to his live speech, it seemed it was up while he was speaking about the auto tarrifs, and it seemed that he was going to limit his tarrif initiatives to just that - tarrifs on autos. It sounded like it was over, but then he went into across the board 10% tarrifs on all countries imports and additional imports on some other select countries. That is when it went negative.
