Market Direction

Back on Oct 14th, I posted "Reversal day", and it was.  Until we break below that day,  that could have been the bottom.   At a minimum I think the market rallies into March as I posted that day.  This is because I knew the Republicans would refuse to raise the debt ceiling, and the government would be forced to spend savings.

Normally the Government sells bonds to raise funds and spend into the economy.  This has the effect of pulling some money out of the economy creating savings / bank assets.   The government then re-distributes this money from the savers to whatever the government wants.

Without debt issuance, and new cash entering the world markets without needing to pull money from savers. 

A break above the red down line on a CLOSING basis will spark a continue uptrend, in my prediction, into March.


A break below the green dashed line indicates the party is over.

Good luck!

3d printing

 I am publishing this on 1/8/23, but will be updating it later today.


For those who own 3d printers, I wanted to share some of the resources I use.
Many of these will link to my personal collections

Best commercial site to buy accessories for your printer is Matterhackers.  This link also educates on the different filament types: https://www.matterhackers.com/3d-printer-filament-compare

To create your own objects, I recommend: 

https://www.tinkercad.com/users/5lrItlGzfLg-websurfinmurf


To find objects, the 'google' of 3d printing is: https://thangs.com/

The largest repository for 3d objects is: https://www.thingiverse.com/websurfinmurf/collections

Higher quality Objects, some objects are for pay: https://www.printables.com/social/317093-mike-murphy/collections

Miniatures for D&D, and other board games for purchase: https://www.myminifactory.com/

Another 3d print object repository: https://cults3d.com/

Keep your Filament dry! When not using, put in a ZIP lock bag.  Filament that absorbs water will not print well.  For more info on how to dry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTLBPUJfTJg

Best free 3d slicer is PRUSA: https://www.prusa3d.com/page/prusaslicer_424/
