Have a great one bull and thanks for being a mainstay on here.
markets still rocking :t_up: on target still to the impulse move to 30k in the dow thanks to the fed , why i say thanks to the fed is because they are the only reason markets have broken out the giant range i have talked often about.
and heres a timely article to remind everyone why we are rallying
Two key moves from the Federal Reserve have boosted stocks

Pretty obvious from the chart of us markets that a rally started in October just after the fed announced in end of sept they needed to save the repo market. this affected the stock market because as an example hedge funds own such things as treasury bills etc they can enter the repo market with these securities as collateral and borrow from the fed liquidity provided and lever up more as they do by buying stocks on the market with the funds provided by the fed , lovely for us stock investors as its driving stock prices higher due to the extra liquidity in the market.
the trannie is just touching the top of its giant range , if it breaks higher very bullish as dow theory says
also the fed has also just announced a extentsion of there repo operation until middle of feb with the option of extending it furthur
Coronavirus

This Coronavirus bad news, it maybe a Black Monday and Tuesday and....next week. For see my THL shares will be in for a plummeting :(
Oh dear ... THL was already bad enough prior to the latest scare - and I am pretty sure that tourism related shares will plummet. My commiseration.
Not sure though whether mainland Chinese people are a significant customer group for THL. Wouldn't mass travellers coming from mainland China be more likely to impact mainly on the accounts of bus companies, larger but not too dear hotel chains, souvenir shops and pharmaceutical companies selling manuka pills and dried tiger penis?
