Ablution

"Washing at dawn Rinse away dreams Protect the gods within

And clarify the inner spirit" Today I accomplished much, and I am happy with my time usage. I worked at the gym for 8 hours, during which time: I executed two 1-hour client training sessions. 30-minute steady state cycling 1-hour Indian club/steel mace training. Completed Chapter 1 quiz on performance enhancement. Spoke to an industry leader about artificial intelligent systems. The conversation inspired me to add resuming Python & coding to my repertoire of assignments this year. After my workday: I practiced 1 hour of Washin Ryu Karate. I trained MMA techniques in kickboxing at Kaizen for 1 hour. I cooked dinner and washed my uniforms. Market Analysis:

SPX resumes its consolidation period within the symmetrical triangle. The consolidation period precedes a highly anticipated Consumer Price Index, the results of which will be released tomorrow. The CPI data is a measure used to estimate the progress of economic inflation - it measures the monthly change in prices paid by consumers.

Typically, the CPI data and unemployment data have inverse relationships as balanced by the Federal Reserve.

Current CPI data: The annual change in the CPI was 3.2% for the 12-month period ending July 2023. This was a 0.2% increase from the previous month. Technically speaking the CPI data is broken into 2 categories: 1. CPI-U: represents 93% of the U.S. population not living in remote areas - the CPI-U is the number that matters most to financial markets. 2. CPI-W: represents 29% of US population living in households with incomes derived from clerical employment or hourly wages. The CPI data is not without its controversies - professional economists have argued that the CPI overstates and/or understates the actual inflation. For traders, it's important to note that the markets react to the CPI data and thus it is wise to be mindful. "While cleansing, we naturally look within, It is believed that there are 36,000 gods and goddesses in the body. If we continually eat bad foods, intoxicate ourselves, allow filth to accumulate anywhere outside or inside of ourselves, then these gods abandon us in disgust."
