Globalization Linda. It's going to be the downfall of the US economy... maybe not now but sometime soon.

Right. What you might want to do is to take good notes about how printing money to levitate markets works out. Heck, it's never too late to learn something new. It might come in handy some day.

What's most important to note is how the stock market always goes down a convenient 20% so that "investors" can keep reeling in the money without any worry at all. Beautiful and early retirement for all.

Life is beautiful.

Personally, I think using technical analysis in the current market is very tricky (I find it tricky even in a good market). A lot of analysis I've read or heard recently have not panned out - for example, Chipotle getting a bounce at $440. I'd take anything (bearish or bullish) with a grain of salt and take a good look at fundamentals right now.

I was laughing at some nut jobs couple of months ago talking about "megaphone formation".

It seems they are right.

Prediction is Dow will go to 6.000 in couple of years.

Unbelievable!!!

Remember Enron?

The market is chock full of smoke and mirrors.

Read the headlines for yesterday's Alcoa earnings announcement and then read the transcript of the follow-up telephone conference.

You think you may know what is going on, but really only the CEOs know and they ain't talking.

Alcoa has been practising these for some time now.

They did the same a quarter ago as well.

But i read a deal with GE was cut.

Couple of billions, not bad

Absolutely nothing is impossible anymore with this historically unprecedented distorted global market.

One thing you can be sure of is that the insiders have been slowly getting out and investing in mattress stuffing since Oct. 2014. The public will be left with whatever is left and given the worldwide debt mountain who knows where it will all end up
