    For everyone criticizing me as overconfident, tell me how you get through life without the courage of your convictions. To me, that's a recipe for failure. I do my work and I make my call. I've been wrong enough to know I will be again. That will not stop me from doing my best.

    Public Service Announcement If you bark at me, you go on mute. And you never know it. Interact with me accordingly.

    Today is capitulation. This is exactly what it looks like. I’ve started nibbling but will do most my buying in the last hour. @ScottWapnerCNBC @HalftimeReport

    Any investor trying to time this or any market should really consider the implications of this chart. It shows the effect of missing just a handful of days in the markets over >5,400 trading days. And if anyone asks, the best days don't get announced the day before they occur.

    So what will financial markets focus on tomorrow? Short term negatives like sanctions with teeth and nuclear sable rattling? Or…will markets realize Putin getting his ass kicked is a positive for long-term peace & prosperity, and the nuclear alert is just a negotiating tactic?

    I just listened to @steveliesman talk for an hour about the Russian economy for the past 30 years and what the future may hold for it. The dude is seriously one of the most thoughtful, insightful, and knowledgeable people that I know. Well done, Steve!

    Let's do some math here. to get to 5,030 on the S&P is 9.5%. To get that on a typical 7-10 year A-AA corporate bond would take 3 years. Do you think the S&P will take that long to get there? BTW - that's our year-end target.

    Replying to @TheJudgeCNBC
    I very strongly believe we create the best show on television @HalftimeReport in terms of educating our viewers on the markets. If I have to take a punch or two to get the point across, so be it. Both @ScottWapnerCNBC and I know what our goal is. Today was a fabulous example, imo

    Is it just me, or is the stupidity on Twitter at an all-time high today?

    This is bullish for the stock market. I’m sure some will @ me for perceived transgressions against mankind in that statement. I don’t care. I give you my opinions on the markets. My opinions on society? That stays with me.

    It's been a while. I'll try this again and see how it goes.

    Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. Even you bears, for whom I have hope. Except you, @stephenLweiss. There’s no hope for you.
