1. It’s a mixed session out here today. The Russell 2000 index (IWM) which represents small cap stocks in the United States is trading higher along with the tech heavy NASDAQ Composite. On the flip side, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) and the S&P 500 Index (SPY) are slightly negative. As You know, this Friday is options expiration for May. This is usually just going to be choppy week as the institutions will play games with many of the popular stocks into expiration o n Friday.
2. Gold/Silver essentially flat. No big deal. Futures are flat. Good pause day after a move like yesterday.
3. Crypto crumble. Listen to Elon and lose money. Today it’s down to 43k. Did Elon sell futures and not actually sell Bitcoin.
