Did chartology predict the collapse in Fall 2008?

I like Phil but he sometimes goes political or goes on for too long (10 pages?).

You can't time this market because it is a Cotton Candy machine; you will never get a steak and potato from it rare, medium, or well or with or without sour cream and chives on the potato.

I suppose you can trade the game but at some point no matter what you do the game possesses you and participation means capitulation not freedom or choice of any kind.

The only real sane course is to not be in it at all but therein lies the conundrum; what has a service turning information technology aging population and nation to turn to but the markets and the government and the banks and the money-changers?

It's not like suburbia can move back with Mom and Pop on the farm like in the early 30's. 

We're trapped.

We are trapped in our increasingly digitized suburban prisons.

Debit cards, electronic statements, scanned meds and blood tests and DNA and tax returns.

You either go off grid or play the game.

Huge collision approaching there, no?

Oh, futures opened up slightly negative and were immediately ramrodded positive.

Seriously, who gives a shit anymore?

RP: “Can Monetary Policy Really Create Jobs?”

BB: "...the unemployment rate probably will remain elevated for some time.”

[Boilermaker]

Is the intent of current monetary policy to actually create jobs?

(on the record) BB: "yes"

(off the record) BB: "Fuck 'em"
