To Err Is Human

I finally finished my final run-through of the last book I ever plan to write. Even though I had a bunch of Slopers do copyediting, and they found hundreds of errors – – I still managed to find another fifty that all of them missed! And, I’m quite sure, there are still errors lingering, but I think it’s just about as good as I can get it for now. I’m sick of this damned thing! Anyway………it’s coming soon.

We are back to an “Othello” market. Down one day. Up the next. Down the next day. Up once again. I have just described this entire week to you.

Although stocks are very strong at the moment, I would suggest to you that Brazil’s longer-term trend is still downward, and that the ETF shown below is quite vulnerable to resuming its tumble the moment the “buy” algos are off.
