No Bid Inauguration

In other words, civil war between now and next Friday (20th) as the Trump and Obama clans blame each other for obligatory corruption...

Team Groupthink's brilliant plan is to dump the historically unprecedented one-sided Trump trade ahead of next Friday's inauguration. What could go wrong?






Meanwhile, I noticed that since the New Year, the Nasdaq has resumed leadership from the Dow which it forfeited after the election. Below is what that looks like via the QQQ / Dow ratio.

Breadth (Advances - declines) 50 dma:




Facebook



But, the real problem for the Nasdaq is semiconductors...




Dow 20k or crash...
