Another BTFD day. Another world has been saved day. And we have not seen helicopter Ben throwing money in USA yet, I mean directly. He is doing so indirectly by SWAP lines and ECB LTRO. Can you imagine where the indexes will be when Hel-Ben shows up here in USA, giving away free money? You better shed your bear skin and try to think like a bull. Because he will definitely show up.
I got this nice email yesterday:
I enjoy visiting your blog, and can't disagree with your assessment that we're toast as far as our government's fiscal condition goes. I just made and uploaded a video that tries to creatively express the same idea. Enjoy :

I just want to share a couple of charts I was putting together earlier for my own studies that I think may help add some perspective to the current market conditions. It is not extensive and only looks at the past five years, but I would love to hear some feedback and perspectives on these charts. I, like many, have had a rough time in the face of this relentless trend that doesn't seem to end.

By the time you read this, it may be irrelevant, but it looks like the IWM has executed a gap-fill this morning. For me, it was another eye-rolling experience: a glorious early-morning profit, chipped away quickly by the insufferable BTFD crowd. This kind of thing is bad for the soul. I'm more than a little sick of it.
