The Greatest Fool
It has been strange watching the markets climb higher in this tremendously strong impulse at the same time as the Fed and others have been talking about a possible contraction in world GDP this year of 25% or more, by far the worst world contraction on record, in the shortest time.

Important support looms, and only a serious dose of truth can crack it.
