[edit]  Subscriber Joe advises that Hickey says the b2b is a lagging indicator.  But I assume he means vs. Capex from the likes of Intel, etc.  I am using b2b…

NFTRH 402 Out Now

SPX Daily Chart

You cannot call yourself a bull if SPX declines to 1925 and you are not buying there.  Me?  I am not a bull, but I am someone who, if the…
