BIG moves in the markets Is this a move from foreign buyers back into the Chinese markets? USD is pretty low, SPX looks pretty high Found a fix for the livestreaming issue: monitor the output! OBS didn’t work, or at least I couldn’t get it to work so FK THT. No gym this morning because… out of money! Would rather wait until pay day or until those stonks move higher.
