Bread, we use it for “sammichs” 😁 
French Toast
Pizza
What else?

Are you familiar with the 3 hour bread test?
It’s SUPER SIMPLE…….

You break off a piece, stick into a glass of water for 3 hours
Not 3 minutes
Not 13 minutes
Not 30 minutes
Not 33 minutes

3 hours, let it sit for 3 hours
The way you then know if the bread is healthy or not is if it begins to dissolve, get spongey, or leaves traces of discoloring, it’s not good

For people with any kind of stomach issues, IBS, Diverticulitis, Crohns Disease, even Acid Reflux or GERD that 3 hour test matters…….

The reason the cheap bread breaks down is the “additives”
Those additives then irritate the stomach linings of those with gut health issues
I don’t care what kind of “healthy” sticker is on the package
99.5% of them are lying anyway
It’s the natural fiber in home made and higher end breads that hold them together
If a bread can’t hold, up, it’s made with additives and not natural fiber

There’s that old Nutritionist saying:::
“The whiter the bread, the sooner you’re dead”

A regular “Just take a pill Dr” might not tell you this, but any nutritionist or naturopath will

“Gut Check” After just closing down for the 5th straight week in a row this market is getting a gut check

This market needs some fiber to hold it together. Right now it’s no secret that it’s the war in IRAN that is making this market dissolve

We don’t chase stocks
We don’t go long if a stock is red
We buy at the MID price or better
We set STOPS and HONOR them

$GE ( ▼ 0.85% ) Weekly -1.39% On Friday we placed Strangles, we’re standing by those
Should GE open in the same range tomorrow those Strangles are still applicable

$CAT ( ▼ 1.11% ) Weekly +2.13% Soooooooooooooooo tempting
We want confirmation here first
To be honest going in Delta Neutral isn’t what we want here
It’s at the bottom of its box
Friday it slipped below its 50 Day SMA, and we’re waiting to see some movement north and then enter with Bull Call Spreads or Back Ratio Spreads
Our eyes are on CAT right now and we are ready, just waiting on it to play out

If CAT reverses course here it could be used for stock purchase as well

Friday after the market close Turkey reported that negotiations between us and Iran have begun. The report appeared to be credible

With that being said I’m waiting to see how Futures open tonight
If there’s any big news, or reason to celebrate I’ll be back with plays for us to consider
Fiber, this market needs some fiber to make it healthy again
