6. 1982. "With 3Q2022 GDP estimates back in positive territory, worth looking at 1982, during which there were 2 neg. quarters of GDP (NOT the definition of recession), followed by a positive quarter, then a shift back down".

11. Retail army retreats. "Retail traders were net sellers for the second week in a row", selling $1.1 billion over the past week. "The last two weeks represented the worst selling in single stocks [shown below] since March 2020."

25. Big number tomorrow. And finally, with jobs numbers due tomorrow morning, “over the last 25 years, September has failed to beat NFP consensus 76% of the time, the worst downside surprise track record for any month. If we come in below consensus of 250k (could possibly be negative), the Fed Pivot trade could go into overdrive”.
