ot-It looks like it might be a pretty tame day in the stock market as inflation data while not good, came in
pretty much in line with expectations.
That said, Fridays are in general tricky because they are either week;y options expirations of monthly operations which occur
on every third Friday of the month, meaning there is usually more than the usual amount of volatility.
The real fireworks occur on Triple Witching that occurs four times a year.
I have a hunch that the next one of these days, which occurs next Friday, might be particularly volatile because of end of the year selling
to offset tax gains, which has already started as well as the fact that investing firms will be adjusting their portfolios in anticpation
of the coming new year.
