Our March meeting and a lot of history is going on. The US started a war, and it started it with a murder. We are at war at the behest of another country.Fill that tank up quickly as the prices are rising at the barrel and the pump.It’s a war we did not have to do.Mike loves the Dow, and why shouldn’t he as it’s always up…or was.Now it’s down. The cause, we all know.On the Long Hill Report, Conversations with, we are basically a discussion of the previous month, and it was not bad, considering that February is usually kind of a downer.February saw the first Dow close over 50,000 (and maybe the last).All cancelled now!How will it all end. Will it be our biggest victory since Grenada. Will there be a big victory in Iran parade.The administration does not have a long attention span.Mike was able to come up with some history that’s not to bad. March does have big swings, as we are seeing.And so we had some back and forth, Mike had a chance to go down in history and blew it.Next month, we will have more gallows humor.

Bitcoin dives, gold and silver slide.

The Armada goes to Iran, not to close. The Armada in historymight not be the term he wants.

Trump and hyperbole is getting old. Does not sound sane. Isit 25th Amendment time?

Should we have done it to Biden.

As to the market, January was great, with four highs.

What is the Dow at this point. It ain’t the old days.

Inflation is not good, employment is problematic.

See ya next month.

Lotsa news. Maduro seized...constitutional? Trump want Greenland. Senator Tillis... it's nuts.But markets doing well as Mike knows but can't explain, but gives it a try.Watch out for the mid-terms.Oil price not moving.Touch and go, we had the Santa Claus Rally.Yard sale coming at the White House per Mike.Interest rates coming down. Venezuela has highest.Inflation confusing as reports old.Be positive make money.Mike looks at financials and employment.see ya next month.

Dow at another high, Mike happy. Dow of course ain’t what it used to be.¼ point down, with Powell blaming the tariffs for anything bad, self-serving and dig at Trump.Who can figure him out.12 Billion Farm bill.Big manufacturing boom?Won’t miss all the independent agencies.November is historically best month, this year not shabby.December is 2nd best historically, and looking for Santa Claus rally. let’s watch.Mikes okay with the year.On to looking at technicals, Major News, Interest Rates and other news.

October the middler usually in performance, the worst month ever was the crash of ’87. This year surprisingly, it was up. This October saw 7 all time highs.

Richard did not pull his usual downer.

Bitcoin really dived. Mike’s analogy is Bitcoin is the name brand like Kleenex, so the other cryptos are less than.

Mike likes the leading indicators, but not perfect instruments.

Too early for next year predictions.

and Much more.

Richard dishonorably sandbags Mike with a chart (courtesy ofMTS Observer) that shows where gold vs. the dollar has been going. Mike holdshis own in the discussion, but neither budges.

Mike is sticking with the stock market, and for the averageman or woman, that probably is all there is.

Mike and I review the usual monthy stuff.

Was it haunted?In these latter days, the light is automated. John will be coming out with a children’s book on the theme of a lighthouse with a mouse family,

We open with “Free Ghislaine” if no crimes were committed.

Things have changed, and it now seems to be the Biden-Trumpadministration.

Fed meeting, not yet for change, but discussion.

Tariffs still going back and forth. Stock market does not like‘em. Market is afraid of rising prices.

Some people like upheaval.

Junes have been good last two years. Odd Junes have seengood months for many years.

Mike is not cursing Trump. Wait to next month.

Nothing spectacular as regards technical and inflation and leadingeconomic indicators. Same on jobless and employment.

Mike is a bit changed since last month when he was ok with the Donald. He is a little more questioning this month. "He's going to accomplish nothing? Otherwise, not bad. Indicators mostly okay.
