After years of waiting, I truly believe the wind is at the back of the bears now. Although I do not tend to use indicators, I glanced at some critical equity indexes to see what they were doing with respect to their 50, 100, and 200 day exponential moving averages. The crossovers seem, for the most part, to be clear and complete:
I’m accustomed to a smooth ride
Or maybe I’m a dog who’s lost its bite
I don’t expect to be treated like a fool no more
I don’t expect to sleep through the night
