What a glorious day! The Dow down over 400 points!
I'm off. I'll post later tonight. Here's a toast to all us stalwarts. I'll update this post with some meat later…….

Crude is Rude!
It is remarkable to me that on a day that crude oil is limit-up and blasting to never before seen heights……
that we have an OIH that looks like this……….
and a FSLR that looks like this!
Look at the AMAZING perfect touch to the trendline by today's shooting star. WOW!
My
beloved son is having an end-of-year pool party which I'll be attending
(along with my beloved daughter, whom I'll make sure is safe in the
pool), so I'm going to be radio silent for a while. I'll do a post
tonight, though. I imagine I'll be in the mood to talk about the
markets, assuming our corrupt, stinking government doesn't interfere in
the final hour of today's action.
Bottomless Pits
Even though we haven't been rolling around in an honest-to-God bear market, there are some sectors that have. Bask in the glow of these train wrecks. They are a marvel, and they seem to have no bottom except for $0.00.
Blame
It isn't often that a comment on this blog sends me up a tree, but this qualifies. The past three months have been very hard on the bears, but in spite of this, the audience and activity here have been pretty strong. Yesterday, when I did my post about the big rally in stocks, DavidDT wrote:
If you don't like the blog, don't come here. If you think the ideas are bad, or harmful, don't heed them – – – or fade them.
But as hard as I work on this blog – for zero compensation – the last thing I need to read is that someone is blaming me for their (or someone else's) losses. I get nothing if people make money off my ideas. I lose nothing if people lose money off my ideas. I write this blog as a way of sharing my own thoughts and helping me think harder about what I am doing with my own trading. If you need a refresher, the disclaimer is here and the explanation of my bearishness is here.
I found the comment above really offensive, and I deeply resent it. But I wanted to remind people that credit and blame must remain with you individually. We try to help one another here, but we all still make our own decisions.
NOTE! It seems the Disqus comment system is down. Not to blame them 🙂
Blown Jobs
Maybe there's hope after all.
