I couldn't make this up

Hello traders, how are you this afternoon?
As expected the markets did well today
$DJI ( ▲ 0.83% )  
$SPY ( ▲ 1.54% )  
$QQQ ( ▲ 2.29% )  
$IWM ( ▲ 1.28% )  

In a past life I was a General Contractor / Remodeler
So I got a call from a local business asking me to do some repair work
Get there, and there’s another contractor installing some stuff
He and I both have our trucks out in the parking lot, loaded with tools and materials
I go out to the lot to get some stuff and there’s this young man, 20sh maybe, rather bigger guy, standing up on the back bumper of my truck making my truck bounce up and down to the point it’s almost jumping... I yell at him “Hey!! What are you doing??” The other contractor hears me and comes outside. Our “hardy young man” runs / waddles up a little hill to the sidewalk, stops, out of breath, jerks back towards us and then screams “And that’s why you don’t have any friends!!!!!!!!!!!!! “ 🙃 
Couldn’t make that up if I had too….lol….

Well if that young man was here today he’d be wrong. Because lots of our friends bounced back north today 😃 😃 😃 

This morning we here at theoptionscoach.net said this, and if #2 didn’t come true I don’t know what did::::::::::::

Almost everything is up here in the Pre
We’re going to forgo Strangles here and go directional for the moment
3 things could happen this morning
1: Total moon shot
2: Stocks open green, then pullback to fill their Gaps ( looking like could happen but its early still ) then advance if the news remains good
3: Open up then nothing burger ( kind of doubt it but anything’s possible )

The markets as well as everyone else is anticipating that the shutdown will be completely resolved soon
Today we took $TSLA ( ▲ 3.69% )  and $JPM ( ▲ 0.77% ) both as highlighted this morning
We anticipate adding some new trades tomorrow

Here’s how some of our other “friends” did today
$AMZN ( ▲ 1.77% )  
$CAT ( ▲ 1.39% )  
$HD ( ▼ 0.29% )  
$GOOG ( ▲ 3.91% )  
$WMT ( ▼ 0.21% )  

The sun is shining, I think I’m going to go outside and see if I can “make some friends” 😉 😉
