Today may be difficult to maneuver intra-day with the market being closed tomorrow.

KWEB and IWM, TLT weakest in the pre-market (Jan 8th). VIX/VXX pushing up in the pre-market with GLD as well. This coupled with a $PCALL ratio close to 0.6 coming into the week helped with the flush lower yesterday. (no one was fully edged on the downside)

6/ ⚡ Pre-market focus: MicroStrategy shines with Nasdaq 100 inclusion & stellar year-to-date performance.

5/ 🏛️ Biden averts a shutdown, signing a stopgap funding measure to maintain U.S. federal funding for 3 months.

4/ 🖨️ Xerox acquires Lexmark for $1.5B, boosting its printer market presence.

3/ 📈 Nasdaq 100 adds MicroStrategy, Palantir, & Axon, replacing Super Micro, Moderna, & Illumina. Big changes start today!

2/ 🚀 MicroStrategy’s 2024 shares are up 477%, thanks to Bitcoin holdings and the political climate. Now the 2nd best-performing stock behind AppLovin.

Ohh yeah - I’m canceling my plans to watch this. Nick is the best.

3/ 💵 Dollar dipped for the day but is set for a 3rd weekly gain on Fed hawkishness. 🪙 Gold edged higher but is heading for a weekly loss, while 🛢️ oil dropped 1% on 2025 demand concerns.

2/ 🇪🇺 European shares slipped on Trump’s EU tariff threats & a drop in Novo Nordisk stocks. 📉 China logged a 2nd week of losses, while Japan’s Nikkei had its worst week in a month.

Woah… that’s insane. (We should all avoid gambling on sports, it’s meant to be enjoyed. Winning or losing)
