I've been watching late 70's episodes of "The Price is Right" on YouTube. It really smacks me in the face the amount of inflation over the years. The games they played back then giving away cars only had room for 4 digits in the price. We are nearing the point when they will need to have 6 digits.

The part about Prometheus reminds me of the internet companies in the early 90's putting their names on stadiums. PSINet comes to mind. I still remember seeing some data center equipment with a PSINet inventory tag showing up at the data center I worked for after PSINet went bankrupt.

In other words keep dancing while the music is playing. It makes me think when this trend finally ends it has to end in a crash. As all participants will be trying to hit the exits at the same time. Combine that with all the leverage on the long side this seems like a recipe for disaster.

Hmmm a mainstream article using the word "unstoppable" in relation to gold after price has gone from $1600 to $3500 in 3 years. As @peteratwater.bsky.social would say ... There is a sentiment indicator here.

As followers of feed are well-aware, "un-" words like unstoppable and uninvestable always make me pause. Needless to say, "unsinkable" took my focus to a whole new level. www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-un...

@jessefelder.bsky.social After reading your article about whales wanting out. This candle on GOOG today makes me wonder if it is more of the same. It appeared to a big enough sell to affect the SPX and NDX charts at that same time. About 2:37PM ET.

It sure seems like the market is setting the condition for tough decade where newer investors keep trying to buy the dip and that strategy that has worked so well over the last 15 year but no longer works.

Label me a perma bear, old and out of touch. But with the amount of speculation we have seen over the recent years. It seems like a long, painful bear market will be needed to clear all this risk taking from the markets.

If I recall correctly S was the symbol for Sears. They ran into financial trouble and was taken over by Lampert via K-Mart which he had taken over when they were in trouble. The investor pitch, Eddie is smart, the real-estate of the two companies is worth more than the stock price. Didn't end well.
Then wondered what ever happened to Eddie Lampert.
I sense maybe 3 of you will get this.
