Hello everybody,
The House Speaker Nancy Pelosi signed the Impeachment Articles before taking them to the Senate Wednesday. She used 30 customized pens to sign, making each stroke with a different pen, which she immediately gave to someone present as a collectible. She was not the first to do so to mark a historic event. In 1948, President Truman signed The Marshall Plan (Economic Cooperation Act) using a dozen pens, and in 1964, Lindon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act with 75 pens. Meanwhile, there might have appeared a true "smoking gun" in the impeachment process in the person of Lev Parnas, who claims that President Trump knew and personally endorsed everything that was going on in Ukraine regarding the Bidens.
On the economic front, exuberance continues in the markets regardless the impeachment, maybe more rational this time than in the 90-s. There are indeed some powerful influences that combine to make a strong economy. And one of the main factors is that inflation remains very low in spite of very low unemployment. The Fed Reserve, consequently, does not have to raise interest rates, which additionally boosts the economy.
Our disposition for today remains the same again. With one E-mini (or similar) contract short, we are awaiting a signal for strengthening our short position by selling short one more if the S&P500 is sufficiently high.
Good luck,
ELP team
