Global Market Comments January 22, 2024 Fiat Lux Featured Trade: (MARKET OUTLOOK FOR THE WEEK AHEAD, or LEARNING FROM YOUR LOSERS)

I don’t lose money in the market very often, but when I do, I really hate it. I also take each attack of red ink as a learning opportunity. Do this for 55 years and you get pretty good at it. So what did I learn from my ill-timed double short in the S&P 500

Certainly, the widely predicted New Year selloff has failed to materialize. Failure to fall after the first week of 2024 has delivered a rally almost as ferocious as
