You all can't possibly be this fucking stupid.

SPX was ▪ Negative in June ▪ Negative in July ▪ Positive in August ▪ Negative in September What was the only other midterm year in American history where the S&P Index (S&P 500 since 1957) had the same pattern? ⁕ 2002 ⁕

Bluekurtic reminds bears to get fucked this quarter.

"Well, at least the market can't get MORE boring!" -me, like a fucking week ago QQQ has now touched 740.00 at some point during the past fucking seven regular fucking trading sessions. I quit.

VIX hit 17 today for the first time in 10+ days. SPX has already been lower than yesterday's close at some point, mid-day. Of the last 40 times this has happened, going back to August 2013, only TWICE has SPX finished that day positive.

This is now only the 2nd time in the history of the US 10 year Treasury that it has gone from under 4% to over 5.3% with 500 trading days. The only other time? June 2007

Julie Hyman, competently stealing my job.

SPX has an +11.77% YTD return here at the end of September. There have only been three calendar years ever with as good a start as 2026 has had, and then a -2% or worse return for Q4: 1929 [-28.9%] 1987 [-23.2%] 1943 [-3.4%] So: Black Tuesday, Black Monday, WW2.

SPX was just up +17.2% across Q2 and Q3 of this year. You should know that all 8 calendar years where this has ever happened in the history of the S&P 500, the 4th quarter was also positive, with a median return of +6.9%

SPX just had a negative June, July, and September in 2026. This is the 12th time now a calendar year has done that. ** All 7 times it has happened since 1971, the S&P 500 finished negative for the entire year. **

The S&P Index (500 stocks since 1957) ▪ has been up at least +10% YTD ▪ at the end of September/Q3 ▪ 42 times now The only one of the forty one previous years where it finished negative?

Barring a spectacular crash this afternoon, SPX will have just had a +14% Q2 followed by a positive Q3. And how has Q4 been during every previous year with a similar setup?

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN DAMAS Y CABALLEROS If you were one of the 4 people back in August who guaranteed me that we would have a major SPX crash in September and that you'd be back to point and laugh, skate your loser ass down to the DJ booth to collect your prize.

JUST ME, RIGHT? 1) Are you also kinda thinking, "sure feels like something really fucking bad is gonna happen soon, doesn't it?" 2) Does *that* not have you kinda thinking, "every time I think that, I'm wrong. I bet the market is up 10% in a fucking month." 3) Does THAT not kinda have you thinking, "well, last time I did the inverse trade, I *still* fucking lost." 4) And does THAT not kinda have you thinking, "yeah, fuck it, I guess I'll just sit this one out entirely; which guarantees it'll happen?"

Well, shit. XLF, the financial sector ETF, is down -7.44% in 16 days from its most recent all time highest mid-day point. But all you care about is where, on a SPX chart, all prior events like this occurred. Uhhh....

▪ Total payments (down/principal/interest) ▪ $500,000 house ▪ 20% down ▪ 30 year mortgage -2021- 2.97% rate $704,782 -2026- 7.50% rate $1,106,869 Good luck, kids.

This is correct.
