1. Markets are pulling back this morning after a turbulent weekend of geopolitical events. Obviously, Twitter (TWTR) and Facebook (FB) are the two stocks under some pressure today after banning President Trump and countless conservative voices from their platforms. Amazon Web Services also removed conservative app Parler from its servers. This is really unbelievable to see things like this happen in the United States. Who will be next?
2. Options ex for January is this Friday, so let the games begin. You need to play volatility and fear. People will be looking to hedge going forward. Unprecedented geopolitical turmoil. Our tech overlords are cracking down on the right. And it's a non-event and there goes free speech.
3. Gold/Silver took a huge hit Friday. Just part of the pattern for its eventual breakout, more backing and filling.
