Continued from before: *now* this is what we're looking for re: #QQQ
We usually "plateau" it up here for a few trading days before letting it drop.
No reason to short highs--ever. Markets are slow and obvious when they top. Interested in next Tues/Weds (important: post-mopex) for potential shorts.

Usually checking-out the "older women" in biochem class when they'd roll-out the VCR and dim the lights for the latest in scientific teaching "excellence."

That's a great chart. (Just not used to seeing great charts of late ; )

"So" is a conjunction. It doesn't begin any sentences structurally (as to English).
If you've something to say, structure it like debate in high school.

Everyone I know will die. Everyone you know will die.
For all time.

This would intimate you being... the arbiter of what 7.8 billion humans care about. And the swearing... rarely helps.

Tony, it isn't "nice" to pretend natural disasters don't kill people and that all human's don't die.
Lying isn't... "nice."
Getting angry at government agencies when humans die in natural disasters... not "nice."
Why lie about facts? That's not nice at all.

I don't know anyone who thinks all humans don't die.
Nor anyone else who disbelieves facts such as they die at a rate of 150,000/day.
Makes our time here rather precious--as intimated.

Mathematics aren't callous. And name-calling is... what it is.
It's frustrating that we can't really blame others for natural disasters, isn't it?

Yes, Brittany. "These people." When someone doesn't share your opinion, they're definitely somehow different than you--they're "the others."
Unless they agree with you--then they're "ok."

When we get frustrated when we don't agree with things people say, it's sometimes best to recall this isn't X.
When someone disagrees with you--or you don't like something--we don't need to swear or misbehave.

Always good to take input from those not capable of civil discourse.

So it's held by private equity. That's what PE does: replaces public/bank funding + bond issuance
Very handy in a dramatic event; that is, no one has to bail-out private equity--and US bonds are siloed.
Bond market to which the public has access is buttressed in crashes. Almost like it makes sense

Always enjoyable when stupid humans need to blame other stupid humans for... natural disasters.
150,000 humans die each and every day... that's millions every couple weeks.
Should we find someone to blame that on as well? Or find something more valuable to do with our limited time here?

Man, if I really make it in life and hit .01%er status, can't tell you how much I'd love to have an old schooner/large tri-mast sailer for Seattle-to-Hawaii (yeah; I get the crew-cost and upkeep cost of a 100yr old wooden boat).
But damn if that's not beautiful. Probably amazing far-out at sea...

I have two tiny ones in the forest--smaller than dogs. They're so damn cute I can't even yell at them or scare them... when they're eating plantings and shrubbery.
I just sit there and take it as they devour everything I plant : )

Yeah man. He lies. As has every other President. Sadly his job isn't to emulate a Rockwell painting; rather, his is to close-off our country in preparation for what's to come--and play a global game of Hungry-Hungry Hippos with all the capital minted in '20
Sadly there was no other man for that job

Yeah, but the market isn't allowed to experience it until post-mopex: derivatives tack-and-pin the market; sentiment and non-institutional capital are less than tertiary.
Several trading days after July 18 to be interesting--just as they were a few trading days after June 20

Yet, when necessary, we mint capital/currency at-will.
When able to print 40% of GDP, a la 2020, borrowing is less concerning.
When we mint capital, our bond debt repayment is significantly decreased. It's how we tax the world. We're an empire: who runs the planet. Well.

Personally unfamilliar with any politician, over the brief history of time, who has failed to brazenly lie.
Were I to post "dogs brazenly bark", would you think me stupid, childish, or just in need of something to say?
Nice thing about being an adult is we don't need to shout "fire" at a barbecue.
