https://www.reddit.com/stormkingsthundecomments/kc5nai/the_crashed_tower_of_the_late_zephyros_chapter_35/ - Previously our heroes found Zephyros' tower crashed in the wilderness and a bunch of stone creatures were attempting to burn all his notes; among them was a Large Dragon also made of stone but also possessed a regular Dragon's lightning breath. After crumbling all their enemies to rubble the party gathers up as much of their late Cloud Giant friend's notes as they could and put a full day's travel between them and the tower in case any other statue-like minions showed up to finish the job. .
The cast of DnD Comrades.

• Ransom - Tiefling Cleric of Thor.
• Paxton Hightower - Human Wizard.
• Otto Norona - Gnome Rogue/Fighter.
• Creedun Grungerock - Dwarven Bard.
• Sir Oswald Pinkerton - Human Paladin/Warlock.

.
Paxton spends a good part of the evening using a Language-Comprehension spell to pour over Zephyros' journal and other loose pages. He finds pages of recipes, philosophical musings, and several pages relevant to their previous experience together, along with where he went after he dropped them off in Triboar.

• 1st Page - "I picked up a group of Adventurers yesterday and am giving them a lift to their destination: Triboar. Nice bunch, not nearly as rowdy or treasure-grabby as some Adventuring groups. I especially liked that extra-small-folk with the eyepatch - Otto was his name. He got way to high off some of my less-potent pipe grass and... (at this point Paxton stopped reading to the group as he realized Otto still doesn't know what he did when he was blackout stoned).
  
• 2nd Page - "A Storm Giant Herald named Iymrith, from the court of Maelstrom visited me yesterday. She was quite condescnding to my guests, but it didn't feel right correcting a Storm Giant - Ordning or no Ordning. Iymrith claimed the Lords' Alliance murdered Queen Neri, and when King Hekaton went to confront them he went missing. Iymrith also added that Hekaton's youngest daughter sits on the throne, but that her inexperience is throwing the court into chaos and weakening the Storm Giants' Influence.
  
• 3rd Page - "That thing the Storm Giant Herald told me last week has been weighing heavily on my mind. If the Lords' Alliance is truly behind Neri's death and Hekaton's disappearance, might they also be responsible for the Ordning breaking in the first place? I will finally make my pilgrimage to the 'Eye of the All-Father' to seek answers for myself."
  
• 4th Page - "This temple is much more magnificent that I'd imagined; our ancestors were the pinnacle of Giant-kind to have made all this. The bad news is that it's about as cold as one would expect this far North. On the other hand, for some good news: I finally formulated some pipe-grass with the right potency for myself but now I'm TOO high - I grabbed the wrong weapon and stumbled off with it, hahahahahahaHahaha. Did I really just take the time to write out 'haha?' Oh man..."
  
• 5th Page - "They've been pursuing me since I cleared Lurkwood and will be upon me soon. The Dream Spell failed - my friends, if you find this: if what the Oracle told me is true, then I..."
  

.
After some deliberation, the group decided the notes don't provide enough new information for them to step away from their quest to find the Giant-Slaying weapon presumably left behind in Yartar by the missing Harthol Zymorven so they continue on, but mean to seek out more answers about this 'Eye of the All-Father' at a later time.
Around midday Paxton's Owl familiar communicates to him, "Don't look up, but there appears to be a dragon circling high above us."
Paxton quietly lets his comrades know of the situation. He casts Mage Armor on himself and Sir Oswald casts Armor of Agathys on himself. Their casting of spells seems to have alerted the dragon of their awareness of them as it begins to dive. Paxton then casts Invisibility on himself.
There's a nearby tor jutting out of the bog nearby that Paxton suggests they all run towards, but they only make it a little ways off the road before realizing that Sir Oswald is staying in place, trying to draw the Dragon's ire to himself.
In a flash of cobalt blue, the Dragon both forcefully and gracefully lands on a nearby boulder still some 60' from them. With its bulk nearly the size of a large covered wagon, it puffs out the yellow plates of its underbelly and cocks its head as it stares down its snout and horn towards the group. In a deep, steady voice it speaks, "Greetings little travelers. Are you lost? From where have you come? To where do you travel?"
Not wanting to divulge too much information Creedun only mentions they're traveling to Yartar and they didn't mean to trespass on the Dragon's territory.
"I'm only here to talk, let's drop the spells and magic in the name of diplomacy; I know there's a 5th member of your group skulking around somewhere. Now, normally I'd demand some tribute for such a trespass," the Young Blue Dragon continues, "but today I'm interested only in information. Just last night I passed the strangest thing - what looked like a tower... that had fallen from the sky... just off the road? You wouldn't have happened to have noticed that too would have, traveling past there towards Yartar as you say."
Creedun asks the Dragon if they can just be on their way and that they mean no harm or disrespect. Sir Oswald musters as much Charisma as he can (which is quite a lot) and says they'd be willing to trade information for information). He asks the Blue Dragon what he found in the tower, what he thought of it, and why he wants to know more?
"I found a dead Giant in the tower, I found it rather odd, and it is my business to know what happens in my territory." The Dragon adds with a thin veil of forced patience, "I'm normally not so generous but you amuse me human; I've now answered 3 of your questions and you none of mine. What do you know of the tower?"
Otto chimes in saying the Cloud Giant Zephyros had been their friend once and he believes he'd been trying to get a message through to them.
The Dragon grins a cruel smile, "As I suspected. I will add you to the collection of the Queen of Statues - the Gathering Storm!" as it pumps its mighty wings to take flight.
Roll Initiative!
.
Creedun conjures two Giant Eagles which Grapple the Dragon before it takes off.
This is obviously a cunning foe as it completely ignores the beasts and unleashes a torrent of deadly lightning into the Dwarven Bard, shocking him so badly that it's impossible to maintain concentration. As the Eagles poof into nothingness, the Dragon flies up 40' above the ground and begins circling the group.
Otto is struggling to hit the dragon at this range with his Hand Crossbow and uses his new martial training to stow his shield and attack with his Shortbow at the same time.
Paxton appears next to Sir Oswald, and laying a hand on him casts a spell allowing the heavily armored Knight to fly!
Sir Oswald streaks towards the Dragon and positions himself above it, striking mightily into the Dragon's back twice.
Ransom makes a Spiritual Weapon appear next to Dragon to slash at him, while Creedun resummons his Giant Eagles, though this time the Dragon fends off their grapple.
The Blue Dragon mauls Sir Oswald several times then tries to fly away, knowing that even if the Eagle can keep up, the Knight can't. He's betting that his scales can fend off their attacks and is partly correct, both eagles fail to land even a scratch. Sir Oswald with a lucky swing strikes a critical weak spot behind the Dragon's shoulder and adds a charged-up Smite into the fleeing Dragon
Paxton takes advantage of the Dragon having left the cluster of his allies and centers a Fireball on the Dragon. As the dragon flies out of the bursting flame it is singed and starting to look quite hurt.
The resummoned Giant Eagles catch up and both successfully grapple the Dragon as the 3 of them tumble to the ground, WHAM! Still thrashing on the ground the Dragon bites and claws the injured Eagles, causing both of them to poof from existence.
The Dragon takes an expert shot from Otto's Short Bow and not only looks very hurt, but for the first time shows actual fear itself. It moves to retreat, but instead of flying away it begins to burrow into the soft boggy soil. The group only sees it burrow in 10' and then loose sight of it in the dark tunnel.
Paxton throws a fireball right at the opening of the tunnel, hoping the edges of the flaming blast will catch the Dragon. He hears no sound as to whether it hit or missed.
Even running at top speed Otto isn't quick enough to reach the hole before the Dragon can burrow further in and the tunnel turns at such an angle the Gnome can't blind-fire in. Then he remembers that he has one more "Ka-boomer" left from the merchant cart they encountered south of Calling Horns. He lights the fuse and tosses it into the tunnel. 4 seconds later KABOOM!!! followed by a screeching roar of pain.
Sir Oswald flies down into the tunnel with no hesitation in hopes to finish off the Dragon but emerges a couple seconds later saying, "It's dead." The Kaboomer had blown open the side of its face as smoke poured up and viscera dripped down from its eye.
The group tries harvesting some scales and teeth, but damages their trophies in the process. Sir Oswald opens the Dragon's belly to find a couple human skulls and bones, along with a partially digested dagger. He also insists on spending more time to try to acquire the Dragon's snout horn. Paxton puts his Secure Hut spell over the tunnel while he works because spending several hours exposed in the wilderness doesn't seem like a safe plan.
The rest of the day and a half journey to Yartar is uneventful and everyone arrives fully rested.
.
They find a contingency of guards inspecting everyone who arrives to the city's outer gate. They make their way inside and get food recommendations from a cheery local man.
They're directed to the man's favorite joint - a "dive" dinner on the edge of the "bad part of town - called Karletta's Table.
There they find a one story flat-roofed building hemmed in by larger buildings that appear to have 3rd-story additions built atop older structures. Karletta's Table has crates stacked up outside that several young street kids are using to play and climb on, some have even climbed up onto the roof and are playing up there, another youngster in dirty clothes runs out from behind the diner with a fist-full of bread.
The group walks through the swinging saloon-style doors and gets their bearings in the dim light inside. Most of the booths have privacy walls, but they see a few folk who look down on their luck, a few more working class people, and a couple women arm-wrestling.
Behind the bar is a window looking into the kitchen where clanging pots and pans and sizzling can be heard. A half-elf with dark blue dyed hair cropped short on one side, wearing leather armor with an apron over it comes into view yelling at some staff around the corner, "You don't have that ready yet? By the gods, what am I paying you for, eh?" She notices the party standing in the dinning area and immediately switches her demeaner to a sweet and welcoming smile. "Hey sorry nobody was there to welcome you, feel free to seat yourselves! Someone will be with you in a moment :) " She returns into the part of the kitchen out of view and continues commanding the kitchen staff in an authoritative tone.
Creedun suggests they sit where he can watch the women arm-wrestle and after a few rounds he approaches them with Otto and asks if he can challenge one of them for a round of drinks. There's some brief chit-chat and the women seem fond of taunting Creedun and Otto, mostly in good fun. They tell the adventurers that they work the docks in the fishing industry. Otto mentions that he's a fisher as well and that's how he lost his eye.
One of the women cranks her shoulder a bit as though it's stiff and says to the other, "What do you think Sally? You wanna take 'im?"
Sally, "Are you gunna need some books to sit on, guy?" alluding to the Dwarf's stoutness. "How 'bout instead a drinks though we wrestle for the story of your friend's lost eye. I win against short an stout 'ere - you tell us your tale, little guy?" Otto agrees.
After a particularly close match Sally pins Creedun and Otto launches into a captivating tale from his youth when their boats' nets caught a Kraken, and how he had to climb into the nets to free the beast. In the process he slipped and severed the end off one of the Kraken's tentacles, fell back into the boat and the knife "poked him in the eye."
There is a long pause. Eventually Sally says, "Pffffft, I call bullsh!t There's no way that was a Kraken. That's a mythical beast; even if one does exist there's been no claims of seeing one in a hundred years at least. Plus, it would have dragged your ship to the bottom before you had a chance to free it."
Otto insists he's not lying.
Sally adds, "look, I'm sure you were entangled with something big and tentacle-y, maybe a Giant Octopus, maybe a newborn Kraken, but if that were a real one you'd be a skeleton at the bottom of the ocean right now."
There's a little more benign chit-chat. Otto refers to the women as "madams" which they get a hoot out of. Then he uses his Thieves Cant to see if there's more to them than meets the eye and mentions being "a part of their guild" and "wondering if they could help him."
The women look at each other and Sally says, "Let's step outside for a chat little guy. Just us and and you; your friends can stay in here and order their meal." Otto assures his party that it'll be fine. Paxton keeps watch on the situation with his Owl Familiar waiting outside.
Sally calls to the kitchen, "Hey Karletta could we get some more bread" and they're given a basket of bread as they walk with Otto out a back door.
.
Outside Sally laughs and says he must be new in town and there's no way he's part of their guild. They ask what he wants and he mentions he's looking for someone. Sally scoffs, saying they don't point strangers to members of their guild. He explains - still in somewhat vague terms - he's looking for a Noble's son who's gone missing. He offers them 50gp if they can help. Sally leans to the other woman and whispers something.
Paxton, listening through his Owl's senses hears her ask her friend, "Do you think he's talking about Mel?"
Sally tells Otto to go back inside with his friends and they'll be back with their friend who can tell him more. Neither Otto nor Paxton (through his Familiar) can discern any fowl-play or malice so they wait.
In the meantime Karletta had come by to take the group's order and comments about how quiet Paxton is and asks why he's sitting upright with his eyes closed. Creedun tells her his friend is just really tired and asks for a bib to put on the wizard.
Otto comes back in just as Ransom is pinning Creedun in their own arm-wrestling match.
.
Paxton has his owl follow the two women. One sets the basket of bread down on a nearby crate but the owl follows them to a warehouse where they disappear inside for several minutes. When they reemerge they're accompanied by a young woman and an older halfling woman; they all head back towards the diner. Paxton tells his owl to check out the bread basket, but when he gets there there are barely even crumbs.
The four women reenter Karletta's Table. Without pause the Halfling woman jumps up onto the bench, eye-level with Ransom and the others "I hear you want to ask my friend Mel some questions. I'm just here to make sure it goes smoothly, okay?"
Mel pulls up a chair and sits at the end of the booth. Between asking questions to Mel and the Halfling, they learn:

• Mel and Harthol Zymorven ran to Yartar with some of his father's stolen property to start a new life.
  
• Harthol ended up "also stealing her heart before proving he was a snake." He got involved with another woman on a Riverboat gambling cruise. They were seen leaving the riverboat together, but he was never seen again after that.
  
• They must have gone back to his apartment because everyone of his that was of value was gone - including gold, platinum, gems, and a weapon stolen from his father's keep.
  
• The woman always wears a purple dress and is often seen entering and leaving the riverboat casino.
  
• Their Thieves Guild - The Hands of Yartar - want payback on the woman in the purple dress, but (a) can't gain access to the cruise (they suspect a traitor in their midst), and (b) has a strict code of no assassinations outside of a hired contract. By pointing the Adventurers in her direction the guild hopes the situation will escalate and revenge will unfold naturally.
  
• The casino cruise itself belongs to a rival of the Hands of Yartar, so any additional mischief or trouble caused for them is a bonus in the eyes of the guild.
  
• The gambling boat - called 'The Grand Dame' - is owned by a man named Khaspere Drylund, who lives aboard the vessel.
  
• The best way to gain access to the cruise would be to pose either as staff (rowers, chefs/servers, musicians, game table facilitators, escorts) or to attend as wealthy guests who come to network and to gamble in the casino.
  

​

Next time - All Aboard the Grand Dame!

Recap: on the road to Yartar, the party spotted the tower with the sad singing eminating from it and approached.
Report: Glinda made sense of the dirge as she is the only party member to speak giant. Too bad she stayed behind while the rest of the PCs investigated. She high-tailed it to the group to let them know it was a song about lost love, so maybe don't kill this one right away. A tense encounter ensued, but the party ended up getting some info about Chief Guh and Grudd Haug from her. They ended up just leaving her there. Some members of the party want to come back later to help her.
So they continued on their journey, stopped to rest, woke up the next morning to Giant Seagulls at the river. They investigate and discover a nobleman turned into a jellyfish man in a cocoon. (Think the Senator from X-Men) He promises them riches if they return him home.
When they get to his home, his mother is more concerned with who did it, rather than her son. The party agrees to investigate and holes up in a high-class pub figuring someone may be a target. They see some Hand of Harter thieves at work in the bar, relieving some stupid rich boys of their coin purses. But they don't take the bait to meet the Hand of Yartar.
Instead, they headed to the Grand Dame casino. When they arrive they see well-to-do folks heading in, and rabble being turned away. Zanetah the barbarian doesn't stand for that at all, and has already warned about SMASH! if they are turned away. Need a strategy to avoid fighting at the Grand Dame..
Next game is Monday night

Last Week, we had the first workshop game, this week prepare for the next one, as battle allegiances change behind the scene...

Battle X Gamble

The Truth

Ch.77: 30F - The Truth (1) Ch.78: 30F - The Truth (2) Ch.79: 30F - The Truth (3) Ch.80: 30F - The Truth (4)
Discuss!

So I just got the game three days ago and have stopped myself grinding levels and cash enough to unlock the weaponsmith/armoursmith lady. I was wondering if there is any way to farm bugs so I can craft Namba’s poison weapon? I think I’ve only come across bugs on trees three times in total so any help on how to find them more easily would be appreciated.

Recently, I've been thinking about why Sukuna didn't kill Mahito in his innate domain. I didn't know why it happened and making a post about it yesterday made me realize that a lot of us don't know and most of us have completely different takes on it too. I think I found a reasonable answer as to why Mahito lived and I would like to share it.
First of all let's assume a few things

1. Mahito did touch Yuji's soul. He specifically stated that he isn't skilled enough to separate Yuji from it. Another important aspect as to why I think he did it is that he visited Sukuna in his innate domain and the only way to do it is by touching his soul which Mahito's domain does passively.
   
2. Mahito didn't have any defense against Sukuna.
   

What was Mahito's plan? I think he gambled. In ch 129 he says "It's all or nothing" while casting the domain. He hoped Sukuna wouldn't have enough time to react. I don't think it worked tho. I see it as Sukuna paying respect to him by not killing him. Why would he show respect to anyone? Well, that's pretty simple. When he was fighting Jogo he told him this. I think Mahito is doing exactly that. Sukuna liked it about him and decided to let him live. Important thing to notice about the scene is that for the first time ever Sukuna isn't standing above the one who is visiting him. He is standing right infront of him as if they were equal.

I was thinking about the “Ymir wants to consume all titan shifters” theory, and it actually seems to align with a lot of plot events in this arc, and explains some of the weirder things people complained about. The general idea I came to is:

Ymir is leading the titan shifters to the Founding titan so that she can consume them (as a requirement to escape PATHS);

Eren is unaware of that.

Let’s go over the potential evidence:

1) “The talk” in 133 is weird

• First, the characters on the plane bring up that it’s strange that Eren is allowing titan shifters to keep their powers. Immediately after, they are warped into PATHS. Instead of receiving an direct answer from Eren, there is a pause where they all call for him. After they talk for some time, child!Eren appears in front of paths tree and gives a speech. That speech is… strange.
  
• One of Eren’s motivations that he brings up in 130 is “I want my friends to live long happy lives.” Supposedly it’s one of the main reasons he rumbles. Back in Paradis, he hid his goal from his friends, lied to them (ch. 112) and even put them in jail. But now, he tells them that he allows them to keep their freedom so they can come fight him (and die)? Why not before? Why not state his intentions to Armin and Mikasa in 112 if he values their freedom so much? Surely they had a better chance to fight him back when he wasn’t a god?
  
• “I won’t gamble Paradis’ future”, but he still gambles it by allowing his friends to fight him. Unless it’s not a gamble because he is so OP they can’t possibly kill him. Then what is this freedom he gives them, freedom to commit suicide by Founder? How is that different than “stealing the freedom” from the world? After all, he also allows the world military forces to try and fight him back.
  
• Annie, Pieck, Reiner, Falco are not his friends. He clearly classifies them as enemies. Yes, even poor Falco, he transformed next to him during the Declaration of war. Did he let them keep their powers so they can help his friends out or what?
  
• Eren does not open his mouth during the speech. Not once. It’s just a disembodied voice. He doesn’t move either, he just stands there, menacingly. Notice how child!Eren in 131 was very agitated and actually, you know, talked with his mouth. Eren in 133 looks and behaves exactly like Ymir – he even has her trademark shadowed eyes.
  
• When his friends try to get closer to him, they get teleported back. At the same moment, Ymir appears next to Eren. Why?
  

My theory: 131!Eren is a real one. 133!Eren is a puppet created by Ymir to trick the Alliance, and she gives them that speech about freedom so that they don’t try to inquire further into why the hell they are allowed to use their titan powers. The speech is covering up her real goal.

2) Eren is likely not awake right now

• We see him asleep in 131. It’s the closing panel of the chapter and the last we see of Eren’s real body. In fact, we do not see him awake inside his titan since ch.123. It’s probably important and may be a hint that he is still sleeping.
  
• He does not react to the arrival of the Alliance. We do not see his POV, we do not see him in PATHS reacting to his friends trying to fight him. Armin got suffocated, possibly to death, and we don’t see Eren’s reaction? It's hard to believe that he does not give a shit about killing his childhood best friend.
  
• Hell, Armin even spells out that Ymir is the one fighting them. It’s possible that Armin is just being delusional about Eren’s intent to murder him, but it’s likely indeed Ymir, especially with the focus she gets in ch.135.
  
• There is a bit of a discrepancy between the Founder’s abilities at the start of the Rumbling and in the current battle. In ch.122, Eren gives a command to remove all the titan hardening on the Island; the command is so unspecific and wide that it removes Reiner’s armor and breaks Annie’s crystal. There is also a weird bit where Zeke’s titans are being left uncontrolled and start to wreck Shiganshina. Yet now, the Founder is able to manifest multiple past shifters and give them precise commands. I think it’s likely that Eren is inexperienced with the Founder (and thus was only able to give general commands like the removal of all hardening), but Ymir, who had a full experience as the Founding titan during her life, and spent 2000 years building titans in PATHS, has a much better control over the power.
  
• We barely see any coherent thoughts from current!Eren. The only sequence from his recent POV that was not a flashback is him enjoying “The Scenery”. He does not seem too aware of his surroundings during that – he just enjoys soaring above the clouds, talks about freedom, and then accidentally gives Armin a call. The whole sequence is so trippy, it’s like he is having a dream. So it’s not even that his body is asleep in real world and he is controlling things from PATHS, I think he is just dreaming and not consciously controlling anything.
  

I think that Eren fell asleep soon after the Rumbling started. Ymir is currently in full control of the Founding titan.

3) Ymir’s motive and how it can be different from Eren’s

• What is Eren’s goal? To rumble the rest of the world to secure freedom and future of Paradis island. But why would Ymir want that? Some people point out that she would want revenge for her horrible life and afterlife. But why go after the outside world then? She has no reason to hate non-Eldians specifically, because the Eldian tribe is the one that oppressed her in the first place. Besides, the outside world has plenty of Eldians, so you can’t use an argument that she wants to protect her descendants. She doesn’t have any ties to Paradis specifically – that country formed centuries after her death. Basically, it feels like she has little reason to want the Rumbling and is just along for the ride.
  
• So, there are two reasons for why Ymir would support Eren. Option one, he was the first person ever to be kind to her, so she became his simp. It’s an understandable reason, but it’s very simple and it means Ymir’s whole character revolves solely around protecting Eren. With how much focus has been given to her in this volume, and how mysterious Ymir has been, I doubt that. So we get to option two: supporting Eren will allow her to achieve her wish.
  
• What is Ymir’s wish? It’s almost certainly to escape PATHS and end titan powers. In ch.122, Eren gives her a choice to stay in PATHS forever or end it all. The Final volume preview states "A girl has a dream. She dreams of a world free from curses and fate." PATHS are both a curse (she cannot escape them) and tie her to a fate (fixed timeline).
  
• How can supporting Eren help her with leaving PATHS? A lot of people theorize that Eren will get her out after the Rumbling because he said that “she can end this now”. And with how we still haven’t seen all that Eren knows, it’s easy to assume that he knows of the way to free her. However, while it’s a reasonable guess, it’s not actually stated in the manga. It’s equally possible that Eren knows that Ymir will be freed due to his future vision, but doesn’t know how to get there. This opens a possibility of Ymir working on a way to free herself.
  

(Sure, you may handwave it and say “well duh, she’ll reincarnate as Historia’s baby”, but, like, how? What are the mechanics behind PATHS reincarnation? If it’s not explained, it will be an asspull worse than flying Falco).

Why I think Ymir’s current goal is to consume all titan shifters:

• Going with my assumption that the PATHS convo in 133 was done by Ymir, she is letting the Alliance keep their powers so they can come to fight the Founder. Why would she not fight them back on Paradis? Well, it’s probably because Eren was still awake back then and he wouldn’t want to eat Armin. Notice how nobody had a story reason to shift before the battle at the port (Pieck doesn’t count because she just stayed in her titan all the time), and the port battle is a day and a half after the Rumbling started. Eren is possibly asleep during it.
  
• Falco’s birb form. Look, it’s possible that it’s just a weirdly explained plot device to get Annie back into the fight. It’s also possible that Ymir gave Falco a new form so he can get himself and Annie to her after they split from the Alliance.
  
  • I. Yeagerist battle – Falco shifts and has no wings
  • II. Annie decides to not fight Eren (ch. 130)
  • III. Falco has a weird dream about flying
  • IV. Annie and kids split from the group and go on a boat
  • V. Falco tells Annie about the dream. He states it’s a memory from a past Beast titan shifter – clearly not from Monke, because monkeys can’t fly, so it was someone before that. We already know that getting memories from shifters 2 or more generations ago is unusual. Not just that, but the memory looks suspiciously like Eren’s scenery above the clouds.
  • VI. Falco becomes a bird and flies to the founder.
• Ch.136’s cliffhanger is Zeke stating “So Ymir ate you too” to Armin.
  
• Ymir’s body and soul were split into 9 titans after her death. Maybe getting them back together will make her “whole” again? She actually seems to be getting more corporeal – we see her appear before Ramzi (who is not an Eldian, so he is not seeing her through PATHS), and in ch.135 she casts a shadow (possibly a drawing mistake). As of ch.136 she would have access to either 2/9 titans (Beast and Colossal) or 5/9 if Eren also counts as “eaten” (+ Founder, Attack and Warhammer).
  
• That would also explain why she aligns herself with Eren and is continuing the Rumbling – it gives her a physical agent to act in the real world (Eren’s titan) and forces the remaining titan shifters to come after her.
  

So what’s the point of this in the story?? Is Ymir the final villain???

• Armin and Zeke are currently in PATHS and are clearly positioned for some kind of plot twist. People are already panicking and making wild assumptions about how Armin will TnJ Ymir or destroy PATHS. I think it’s more grounded than that. Zeke is a newfound PATHS expert, while Armin is in a unique position to figure out some twist about Eren and Ymir. Because Eren reached out to Armin back in ch.131, Armin knows what Eren is currently supposed to act like and may realize he is different from his ch.133 appearance. He also already figured out that Ymir is the one fighting them (while others like Connie think it’s Eren).
  
• It gives an additional conflict to the fight. If we take the text at face value, Eren knows his friends are coming to fight him, and he is ready to fight and kill them in return. We haven’t seen him come to this resolution, we skipped straight from him saying he wants them to live long lives in ch.130 to “come fight me bitches” in ch.133, to potentially killing Armin in ch.135. He is apparently not conflicted about this battle. The only conflict was on Alliance’s side (should they kill Eren?), and they already resolved to kill him. So the only conflict left is who will kill whom first, it’s just a physical battle. HOWEVER, if Eren isn’t actually awake and is not yet prepared to kill his friends, that would provide him with a delicious conflict once he wakes up: if he wants to complete the Rumbling, does he kill his loved ones? If he wants to end the power of the titans, should he allow Ymir to eat his beloved childhood friend Armin?
  
• There is already a FORESHADOWING for a specific plot point: Armin has to wake up Eren. Just like he woke him up in Trost and in Shiganshina. Ch.131 set up a sleeping Eren while having a “remember our dreams?” moment between Eren and Armin. It has to pay off. Eren is dreaming in the sky, and he needs to wake up and face reality. I wrote about it before
  
• It will give Ymir an actual character goal outside of being Eren’s magical support loli. It won’t make her a true final villain, as she is still just a girl who lived a horrible life and wants to escape her sandy prison realm. But Eren would have to make a choice.
  

it is one month late, i know. the grind for W and Rosa and Weedy to have each m3 and also the laziness to think of a strat really hit me in january. but in 3 days worth of time (sunday, tuesday, and wednesday) i completed all of the ch. 7!
^{not so proud tho, couldn't beat patriot myself......}
​
so new chapter, new campaign, i did half of them, check mission to claim dailies and weeklies, there are 3 orange dots in each tab.
DAMN I FORGOT THERE ARE CAMPAIGN MISSION XD
​
​
so basically my team for the ch. 7 are my trust farm team, with the some of them in e2 (W, Rosa, Elysium, and Weedy), some core operators (mostly only bagpipe, and sometimes exu or saria joins in) and the rest of them in e1 lv 50 to max, basically what i got in WWE banner so that includes angelina and phantom. it's kinda a coincidence tho, i bought ange skin because her e2 is that bad eventho i didn't have her yet at the time, but WWE give me one, thanks lord RNG.
tbh now i've m6 my elysium, i kinda in torn to choose between him and myrtle and come to a conclusion. heavy sniper team go with elysium, rest is myrtle. that -2dp for snipers is no joke, W Rosa Exu feels much faster to deploy (not gonna do the math, i'll just enjoy this -2 dp satisfaction)
what i did in most of the stages up to 7-12 is placing my W and Rosa in a good positions, then put exu if needed or bring trust farm operator if don't, and then do weedy s2 + her robot + W mine in a lane, then rosa + bagpipe in another. basically those wiped out anything.
​
7-13 change me a bit. i thought at first "Rosa here Exu there + eyja here and the rest hold mid lane" will be enough, until i play 7-13 cm, no guards and snipers. it really changes my strat, i mean, i played the entire chapter with sniper heavy team and they said "no snipers?"?? cruel, so cruel. but amiya step up and kill those defenders and she gets her p6 in the end of this chapter so yeah she need to do some action.
7-14 was no problem, but 7-15? i feel so blessed playing its CM, i mean, defender got hp debuff for def and res buff? no problem, amiya s3 on top left and exu to snipe the heralds, while rosa and exu handles the other. Rosa s2m3 ftw for me tho, those +90% att and additional target sweeps too much defender in this chapter. while W's mine handle the mob that is lighter for Rosa talent to activate.
​
7-16? ahh 7-16, the "no more mr. nice guy" point, from here on i go all out with anything.
7-16 cm was the first where i lost my sanity in this chapter, and in this stage i just realized that the herald's buff stack with each other so the more they are in the field, the tougher the enemies. and in their lines there are defenders. so the solution was i kill the 2 defenders on the bottom with rosa asap, then retract her, and deploy exu and eyja to sweep the enemies goes there, then rosa redeploy in another position to kill the rest of defednder. but the 7 operator restrction is no joke, to kill the mortars only with bagpipe + elysium to prevent leak on the right side is a gamble, because if eyja and exu can't kill enough herald and they stack on the top left, there goes my in game sanity....
7-17 was okay, the s stages are no problem, h stages is also not a problem except h7-4. well i struggle a bit in h7-3 for the early stage because i tried to use siege but there's a leak because lack of dps to kill those hounds (e2lv70, s2m3) so i changed my strat where i pull myrtle asap, then put blaze on the far left lane. i'm surprised that ch'en could hold up the attack of the defenders, well they don't do much attack but i thought ch'en doesn't have a really great def. turns out i was wrong. ch'en to hold the defenders, silverash and rosa to clear them all.
​
​
now, the partiot's stages. 7-18 and h7-4, was kinda a nightmare until i know how to defeat it.
​
I DIDN'T KNOW THERE'S SUCH A MECHANIC WHERE YOU KILL PATRIOT BEFORE CERTAIN SPOT AND HOLD THE 18TH ENEMIES, THE ENEMIES WILL STOP SPAWNING!!!!
i don't know if above mentioned is intentional or a bug, but after i run practice with my strat and the patriot will somehow goes through, and watched kyo's and eckogen's guide, it makes the stage much, much easier. i mean, all the mine will hit patriot and patriot only, no need for a ranged operator including healer because silverash and mines could kill patriot reborn alone. while cuora with s2 holding the 18th enemies near the spawn. it makes the stage much, much easier because i could focus on killing patriot first. the rest are mob that easy to kill without patriot's buff. damn who's the one found this mechanic? i'd love to buy him a beer..
and then h7-4. i try to finesse and think hard how to kill patriot + those defenders. turns out finesse isn't an answer. i watch kyo's guide, all 4 of his guide for h7-4, didn't really impress me so i didn't try it out. then i watch 25thnight's golden team guide, and all i have to do to clear this stage is to brute force them all? i thought there will be some hidden mechanic like 7-18 and hoping to find it but all i have to do is brute force them? i'm ashamed as a dokutah, maybe the first time in my AK life, i was thinking of some beautiful strategy but the beauty itself is in the force. but this gameplay impress me much. i wonder if using thorns will make the strat much different but i am content with my silverash and W s3, i think as the reward W s3 will be m3 this week, she deseves more bombs XD
​
so yeah, that's my side of "start the month with ch.7". i have to beat patriot without a guide next time, he's a really tough to beat. i thought at first using rosa to bypass his def with amiya s3 help but turns out the answer comes back to silverash schwing schwing. i know you can do it with ifrit + eyja combo too but i'm kinda bored using eyja + ifrit and i rarely use silverash so i let daddy swing.
​
so how about your side of ch.7? anything surprises you? feel free to spoil me the story tho i haven't read them all. and it's already maintenance so it is the perfect time to post this XD
​
P.S:
i'm excited for CC, still blind on perma map so far but i got a tip to use liskarm s1m3 and weedy s3m3, and i won't let that rainbow film get away again!!!
​
oh and for those who haven't started ch.7, just do it. some of the best farming stages so far is in ch.7 *look at 7-10

First Post:
https://www.reddit.com/wallstreetbets/comments/kuwg1e/i_have_a_discount_trading_bot_which_gives_out/
Background:

• My discount bot to help /wallstreetbets. It took me almost a year to develop it to my standard.
• My private codes was used to develop it, and it's very unlikely I will sell it off to anyone or publish the code freely as it took me way too long to develop it. I rather post updates freely, at no cost to anyone than give out the code.
• I will not be posting this hourly. It just too long to load everything up maybe in the future. I will post during open though.
• Discord and telegram admins, don't try to monetize my bot suggestions to vulnerable people, when you don't even own the codes behind it.
• There are a lot of SPY500/"boomer" companies within the bot, I thought about removing it but many people preferred that I kept it in there.
• There won't be any sell signals, as stocks only go up, so I rather just do a discount algorithm.
• Batch 1 = Algorithm/Bot + Human Judgement
• Batch 2 = Algorithm/Bot Judgement Only
• This is a one man bot.

Bot Overview:
It's showing an opportunity that you may have missed otherwise, so you can decide for yourself if you want to pursue the discount of a stock for potential profits. Backtesting has not been done, do not YOLO your life savings into whatever stated risking it all. Rather use this as a side tool.
Key:

• Pharma companies are very risky.
• Meme/Hype stocks are very risky.
• Companies that you don't know how they work are very risky.
• Follower companies are very risky because they join the hype train (what NKLA is to TSLA).
• I have a very low amount in options (less than $500), and I have 100k+ in shares and cash.
• When doing options have a lot of collateral, so you don't hit margin call.
• Take the "Calls" as very discounted, and "Potentially A Call" as somewhat discounted.
• Old money companies are slow. While tech companies are fast-paced.
• Only invest in companies that you do know and see potential in.
• You don't have to invest every day, only when you see the potential.

Open Added Approximately 30 minutes after open.
I will make a newsletter or website, and keep you guys updated with my stocks as well. While giving you output data which I receive. Without missing out on any stocks and referencing all stocks (even stocks which the bot says no to). Though I "may" charge something but provide extra data, but saying that I will not stop posting on here.

Let's just say there are spoilers all the way until ch. 61. (Idk, better safe than sorry.)
So I do want to preface all of this by saying that I completely ship Shuichi and Clair (of course). Now, whether that relationship is healthy or not or whatever... that's an entirely different discussion. But I definitely ship them. (By extension, Clair is also best girl btw.)
That said, I do have a few questions about the nature of their relationship in the first 10 chapters (which is before they head off to the mountains and meet Sanbe). I want to ask this to hear about other readers' (or watchers', I guess?) opinions about Clair's thoughts and motivations.
So this whole story begins when Clair was about to commit suicide because no one believed her about her claims that monsters existed.

I was finally ready to die, and then you got in the way... No one believed me... when I said that monsters were real. (Ch. 2)

So as a result, a monster saving her coincidentally right when she's about to die, she must think it's fate. Which makes sense, as this coincidence is far too... coincidental.

Our meeting must have been fate. (Ch. 2 again)

That said, I imagine it must be because he almost raped her. And also she doesn't really know him yet. So I'd believe that, at the moment, there's no real emotional connection between them at all. She sees him as just a tool and a means to help her find her sister. (Because now that the existence of monsters is confirmed, the next step is finding her sister who's also a monster.) This also explains why she was so comfortable initially testing Shuichi by kicking him off the school building, of course. If he dies, well, it's not like she's going to be very emotionally affected (as we've seen, she can be ruthless when necessary).
Later in chapter 5, she hears from Shuichi just how scared he is of transforming because of how much he doesn't know about it.

But even though you were so scared of transforming, you still saved me. So you're strong. Honestly, why you can transform, and what these coins have to do with everything, I haven't got a clue either. I can't guarantee that you won't die, and I can't even do anything about you feeling like crap. And most likely, whatever happens from here on out will be even worse. So I'll make you a promise. No matter what the reason... if something happens to you, I'll die with you. So if you die, you won't be alone. The two of us... will be two in one. (Ch. 5)

So she says that whole monologue to him in response. And then of course, we see Shuichi posing to her what if he wanted to die immediately, and then her jumping off, etc. This brings me to my first two questions. Not a whole lot has occurred in the story so far to change their relationship dynamic or intimacy so far. Aside from killing Hikawa "together".
1) So why would have been so willing to die with Shuichi at this point in the story, at least according to her monologue?
2) And in response to his hypothetical question, why would she have risked jumping off?
To my second question, I'm sure she was gambling and believed he would save her, but wouldn't that be an extreme risk given that she's gambling her life on a guy who's seemed rather unreliable so far? It just seems very out-of-character for her, who's been shown to base her actions on logic for the most part, at least until later. And to both those questions, whether it's her monologue or her jump, her life's purpose is to find her sister. Isn't dying with Shuichi going to go against her raison d'être?
This is similarly seen when Elena tears off Shuichi's head.

I'm sorry, Shuichi... this wasn't supposed to happen... But, I'll keep my promise. Oh good... there's one bullet left. (Ch. 8)

Of course, neither of them dies here. But again, at this point he's believed to be dead. Like, his head's been separated from his body lol. So question 3.
3) Why would she follow through with the promise and die with him? (Mmm... romantic as that may be.)
Because even at this point, there hasn't been a whole lot (imo) to justify her giving up her life's purpose just to die with this guy. Of course, all of this is kind of addressed later after they visit the alien.

Things are going great for me. It's even better than before my sister killed our parents. Yeah... the worst was after she disappeared. No one would believe me if I told them what happened. I felt like I didn't belong anywhere... but then everything changed when I met you. My world started to move again. And... I found a place where I belonged. You're where I belong Shuichi. I mean, isn't this great!? There's an alien, and we can go around finding the coins. And my sister's involved with all this, too!! I've never been so excited in my whole life!! Don't worry, I'm not gonna use the coin. I've got you, after all."

So hmm. I suppose that at some point, their relationship changes. To give her this mindset. Was it when he confessed his fears in chapter 5? Or, maybe when she was so elated that he wasn't actually dead? I guess those are all my questions.
It makes sense now that she wouldn't want/need to use the coin for herself, because she still has Shuichi. (And now she has the explanation from the Alien. Before this, she wouldn't have known what to do with the coin.) From this point onward, yeah, I ship them even more together. But I suppose I want to hear anyone else's thoughts on how the relationship evolved in the first 10 chapters and, essentially, what is going on through Clair's head when she tl;dr wants to die with Shuichi.
It's also entirely possible I'm overthinking/overanalyzing this and the author just didn't think this deeply about it. Or I'm misunderstanding something. xd

Good Saturday morning to all of you here on stocks. I hope everyone on this sub made out pretty nicely in the market this past week, and is ready for the new trading week ahead.
Here is everything you need to know to get you ready for the trading week beginning November 30th, 2020.

Stocks on track to close out month of big gains as jobs data looms - (Source)

Stocks next week will come off one of their best months ever into a busy week of economic data and the ongoing tensions between the spreading virus and positive news on vaccines and treatments.
Another highlight of the week is expected to be Tuesday’s testimony from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin before the Senate Banking Committee. They will be discussing the emergency measures taken to help the economy after the outbreak of the pandemic.
The Dow was up nearly 13% for November so far, and if it holds its gains into Monday’s close, it will chalk up its best month since January, 1987. The S&P 500 closed at a record 3,638 and was up 11.3% for the month. The gain is its best performance since April’s 12.7%, which was the third best month for the S&P 500 since its origin in 1957.
November was a big month also for market rotation, with investors favoring stocks that would benefit from a rebounding economy and showing less love for long-held favorites among big tech and internet names. Financials were up more than 17% in the past month, and industrials rose nearly 15%, as investors bet vaccines would help the economy return to normal next year.
Tech notched a single digit gain for the month so far and lagged the broader market. But some strategists expect big tech and internet names, stay-at-home stocks, to fare better in December.
“The death of big tech has been announced over and over again, and we see that the market doesn’t abandon them, but in fact migrates to big tech whenever there are concerns,” said Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist at Prudential Financial. “The post-pandemic question is whether big tech can co-exist with the small and mid-cap.” Small caps were one of the biggest winners in November, with the Russell 2000, up 20.6%.
“We did not see major selling in Nasdaq,” as investors put funds in cyclicals and value, she said. Nasdaq was up 11.9% for the month so far, slightly better than the S&P 500.
Experts have warned that there could an even bigger surge in virus cases, following the Thanksgiving holiday which could start to show up in the coming week. There have been more than 12.6 million cases in the U.S.

Jobs report

There are some important economic reports in the week ahead, the most important being Friday’s November employment report. There is is also ISM manufacturing data Tuesday.
“My thought here is the data is going to matter because if you listen to the Fed, and if you read through the Fed’s minutes, they’re in transition here. They’re becoming more concerned about the rise in Covid cases, certainly about the lack of fiscal support,” said Gregory Faranello, head of U.S. rates at AmeriVet Securities.
Strategists say another key report will be weekly jobless claims, which showed an increase in each of the last two weeks. “The employment data clearly has been weakening,” said Faranello. If it continues, it will keep a lid on Treasury yields, which move opposite prices.
Jefferies economist Tom Simons expects the elimination of Census Bureau workers to detract from the job gains in November, and he forecasts the economy added just 340,000 jobs.
“It is hard to envision a particularly strong report coming out on Friday,” noted Simons.
Bank of America economists forecast just 150,000 payrolls were added for November, compared to 638,000 in October. The private sector is expected to add 300,000, but expected government layoffs impacted total payrolls in their forecast.
Faranello said he expects the bond market to be much more active than normal this December because of the pending change in the White House, as well as the runoff election in Georgia Jan. 5 that will decide whether Republicans keep their Senate majority. The market has also been concerned about the lack of stimulus from Washington.
“The theme in the market right now is definitely hope and optimism versus the on the ground dynamic with Covid,” said Faranello. “The real question is can the vaccine rally hold up if we see the virus rise and we continue to see shutdowns. How does the market perform in light of that?”
Krosby said she expects the market to watch for vaccine news. “The question I think is now whether or not we see the emergency authorization given to Pfizer and followed by Moderna,” she said. “I think that is a catalyst to the market because that is when you will start to see the vaccine distributed.” The Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine advisory committee has a meeting set for Dec. 10 to discuss emergency authorization for the Pfizer
Analysts expect investors to continue to gravitate to value and cyclicals, since they could have the biggest gains compared to already high priced big tech. But tech is still attractive.
“We still see the Nasdaq leading,” said Krosby. “Whereas we enjoyed the vaccine related boom in the market, the fact is that investors and and traders are looking for big tech names to give them that growth in earnings and revenues.”

December Almanac: Small Caps Have Shined

December is now the number three S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrials month since 1950, averaging gains of 1.5% on each index. It’s the top Russell 2000 (1979) month and third best for NASDAQ (1971) and Russell 1000 (1979). In 2018, DJIA suffered its worst December performance since 1931 and its fourth worst December going all the way back to 1901. However, the market rarely falls precipitously in December and a repeat of 2018 is not highly likely. When December is down it is usually a turning point in the market—near a top or bottom. If the market has experienced fantastic gains leading up to December, stocks can pullback in the first half of the month.
In the last seventeen election years, December’s ranking changed modestly to #2 DJIA, #5 NASDAQ, but S&P 500 remains #3. Small caps, measured by the Russell 2000, have had a field day in election-year Decembers. Since 1980, the Russell 2000 has lost ground just once in ten election years in December. The average small cap gain in all ten years is a solid 3.0%. The Russell 2000’s single loss was in 1980 when the Prime Rate was 21.5%.

Sector Weights Rising and Falling

For most of the past year, one significant trend on a sector by sector basis has been the outperformance of sectors like Technology and Consumer Discretionary. The relative strength lines of these sectors have consistently shown outperformance versus the rest of the S&P 500 as a whole, but since August, other sectors have begun to take the wheel. As we noted in today's Sector Snapshot, just about every sector has had a banner month in November with some of the biggest month to date rallies of the past 30 years, but some sectors have seen much larger returns than others. One of the best examples of this has been Energy which has risen over 35% in November. Similarly, Financials has risen an astounding 19.5% this month compared to more modest but still significant rallies of around 10% from Tech and Consumer Discretionary. Given those large degrees of outperformance, the relative strength lines of Energy and Financials have taken a sharp turn higher in recent weeks. Similarly, they have seen a turnaround in their weightings in the S&P 500 as shown in the charts below.
Over the past three months, the Financial sector has gained a full percentage point weighting while the Technology sector has lost 1.36 percentage points with a decline in weighting in three straight months. For Financials, that is the largest gain in weighting in a three month span since January 2017. For Tech, outside of the reshuffling in 2018 that saw a large share of its weight change into Communication Services, the last time the sector lost this much or more in weighting in three months was November of 2008. Prior to this recent string of losing weight over the past three months, Tech had seen weight gain in every month from October of last year through August. Even though the weight loss has been significant, it has only put a dent in the increased share of the entirety of the past year as the sector's weight is only back down to where it was in May.
Similarly, looking at the other sectors, while Financials have added a full percentage point in share over the past few months, that follows nine months of declines running from last December through August. That brings the sector's weighting back above 10% in the S&P 500, but that is only at the highest level since March. Similarly, Materials and Industrials have also seen their weights rise for three and four months in a row, respectively. As for Energy, the 0.44 percentage point gain in November is set to snap six straight months of declines; the longest such streak since at least 1990. As with Financials, that turn around this month has only put a dent in the longer term trend of weight loss as Energy's weighting is now only back to its highest level since July. Opposite of Energy, Consumer Discretionary is on pace to lose weight for the first time since March.

A Month to Be Thankful For

Heading into today with just three trading days left in November, the average Russell 1,000 stock was up 17.44% month to date. As shown below, not one of the five largest stocks is up even close to 17% on the month. For a market that had recently been driven higher in large part because of the five mega-cap Tech names, November has seen the mega-caps stall a bit while the rest of the market has seen broad participation. This is the type of breadth that market bulls have been waiting and hoping for.
Of the 35 largest stocks in the Russell 1,000, Tesla (TSLA) is up the most so far this month with a gain of 43%. The other big winners include Chevron (CVX), JP Morgan (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Disney (DIS), and Comcast (CMCSA). Not one stock in the top 35 is down on the month, but the ones that are up the least are Netflix (NFLX), Procter & Gamble (PG), Amazon (AMZN), and Home Depot (HD).

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Looking at sectors, the average Energy stock in the Russell 1,000 is up 46% month-to-date but still down 27% year-to-date. Three other sectors have seen their stocks average MTD gains of more than 20%: Financials, Industrials, and Real Estate. Stocks in the Health Care and Utilities sectors are up the least on an average basis this month, but even these underperformers are still up more than 5%.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

There are 37 stocks in the Russell 1,000 up more than 50% so far in November. Below is a list of this month's biggest winners. Coty (COTY) and Nordstrom (JWN) stand out the most with gains of more than 100%, followed by Spirit AeroSystems (SPR), Occidental Petroleum (OXY), Diamondback Energy (FANG), and Empire State Realty (ESRT). The list of biggest winners this month is full of names that got hit hardest by COVID in areas like energy, travel, retail, and real estate. Notably, while these stocks are up an average of 68.5% in November, they're still down an average of 23% on the year. On a median basis, they're down even more year-to-date at -31.55%.

Biden - Best Since Reagan

The market started off November on a positive note, and even after the election has continued to add to its gains. Through the close today (11/24), the S&P 500 is up 7.90% since the close on Election Day. Relative to every other Presidential election since the beginning of the S&P back in 1928, the three-week performance of the S&P 500 following this Election Day ranks as the second-best of all time. It came down right to the wire, but the only other US President to see a stronger market reaction to their election (or re-election) was Ronald Reagan in 1980 (7.97%). Behind Reagan and Biden, the only other Presidents where the S&P 500 experienced an upside move of 5%+ in reaction to their elections were Hoover in 1928 and Clinton in 1996.
On the downside, the most negative reaction of the market in the three weeks after Election Day was the 14.75% decline following President Obama's election in 2008. In addition to Obama, the S&P 500's four other three-week downside moves of more than 5% came after the elections of Truman in 1948, the election of George W Bush in 2000 (although at the time it was unknown who was the winner of that election), the election of Franklin D Roosevelt in 1932, and Dwight D Eisenhower's re-election in 1956.
In aggregate, the S&P 500 hasn't historically responded all that great in the three weeks after a Presidential election. For every one since 1928, the median return of the S&P 500 in the three weeks after Election Day has been a gain of just 0.35%. Breaking out returns by party, in the three weeks after a Democratic candidate is elected, the S&P 500's median performance is a decline of 1.11% compared to a median gain of 3.04% when a Republican is elected.

DJIA 1,000 Point Thresholds

What a wild year 2020 has been! With the DJIA closing above 30,000 today, it was the second first-time upside break of a 1,000 point threshold this year. While there have only been two new upside crosses of 1,000 point thresholds, due to the sharp pullback in March from the pandemic that briefly took the DJIA below 19,000 on a closing basis, there have actually been 12 different upside 1,000 point thresholds at some point in the year.
The table below lists the first time that the DJIA closed above each 1,000 point threshold in its history along with the total number of times the index has crossed that level on a closing basis throughout history. The thousand point level that has seen the most crosses on a closing basis was 11,000 (87 crosses) while 10,000 ranks second at 67.
Obviously, the higher the DJIA goes, the less impactful a move of 1,000 points becomes. At current levels, 1,000 points represents just 3.3%, which is really nothing more than a very bad day in the market. Given the diminishing impact of 1,000 points in the DJIA these days, their significance declines. Even still, the twelve new 1,000-point crosses since the 2016 election has given the President (who has publicly discussed the stock market more than any other President in history) plenty of ammunition to tweet about.

30,000 Reasons To Be Thankful

As 2020 winds down, it has been an extremely tough year on all of us. Still, there are many reasons to be thankful and today we will share some reasons investors should be thankful.
Stocks have had one of the largest reversals ever in 2020, something to be thankful for. In fact, this could be the first year ever to see the S&P 500 down more than 30% peak-to-trough and finish higher.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

We should also be thankful that Congress was split in 2020, likely marking the 11th consecutive year the S&P 500 gained under a split Congress. Gridlock is good they tell us and that very well could be true yet again.
Want something else to be thankful for? We likely will have a split Congress for another two years after the two Georgia runoffs are official.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Let’s be thankful that it is looking like stocks once again will be higher the year a President is up for re-election. In fact, you have to go back to FDR in the ‘40s the last time the S&P 500 was lower for the year when a President was up for re-election.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Let’s be thankful that the fastest bear market in history (only 16 days) is officially a thing of the past.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

We are thankful that we are in a new bull market, which if history plays out once again, could have a lot of life left to it. In fact, the average bull market has lasted more than five years.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

“Let’s be thankful that the huge move off the March lows was a major clue of more strength,” explained LPL Financial Chief Market Strategist Ryan Detrick. “We noted at the time (many different ways) that the enormous move we saw off the March lows likely suggested significantly higher prices, while many ignored the market signals and instead looked for a re-test for months on end.”
The 20-days off the March lows was the second best 20-day rally ever and sure enough, the returns have been very strong.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

We are finally seeing many stocks participate in this bull market, another reason to be thankful. In fact, the Value Line Arithmetic Index recently made new all-time highs. This index is a great look at what the ‘average’ stock is doing and is a sign that this move isn’t being led by just a few large cap tech stocks.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Let’s be thankful that the NYSE Cumulative Advance/Decline line is at new highs. This looks at how many stocks are going up versus down and new highs are a sign of very healthy participation.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Emerging markets have started to turn higher and we are thankful that this group could be on the verge of a major breakout to new highs, clearing their peak from 2007. As we move into ’21, this is one group we think could continue to do quite well for investors.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Global investors should be thankful, as the MSCI Global Index broke out to new highs as well, suggesting this rally isn’t only about the US anymore.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

We upgraded our view on small caps in September and the Russell 2000 Index is currently on pace to have its best monthly return ever. Investors should be thankful that this group is finally participating, as there are many more small caps than large caps, another sign of improving breadth, while small caps are also more domestic by nature and could be suggesting a strong US economy next year.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Investors should be thankful for the incredible strength around the election, as the S&P 500 gained more than 1% four consecutive days. This is extremely rare, yet, extremely bullish going out a year.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

As we showed in Frothy Sentiment Rides Bullish Technicals, the huge number of stocks in the S&P 500 making new monthly highs should make bulls quite thankful.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Earnings are expected to see a major bounce back, as the global economy gets back online next year, making many investors quite thankful.

(CLICK HERE FOR THE CHART!)

Economic forecasts may not develop as predicted.
As shown in the LPL Chart of the Day, the final reason to be thankful? Dow at 30,000!
