You need to sit down for this one.
The JFK-Trump S&P500 analog is only three bps apart on Day 338 after election day. That is only a one S&P500 point difference, folks. Absolutely stunning.
We had almost given up on the analog after the Goldilocks wage and employment data last Friday.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

The two S&P indices have been tighter only twice, on Day 38 and Day 320.
The Night Before The Big Roll
Today is significant in that it is Day 338, which marked the eve of the big rollover of the S&P500 in 1962.
Current headlines also look similar to those in 1962. Inflationary pressures leading to a growth scare. Big steel and nuclear missiles in the spotlight.
Other factors are at play today, including politics, especially after last night’s Democratic win in Deep Red Steel Country.
Then there’s today appointment of Larry Kudlow as head of the N.E.C. to replace Gary Cohn. Kudlow uses the JFK economic model as a template for economic policy in his latest book, JFK and the Reagan Revolution. Oddly, JFK never had the chance to cut marginal taxes.
See here for background on the analog.
It is now make or break time for the analog.
If it is a true tracker, the S&P500 should rollover hard in the next week or two.
Stay tuned…
Quite interesting. I haven’t seen that comparison anywhere else.
