Top is in

[Brother Esau]

Ah, shite.  The top was definitely in.  Some yield curve thingy got inverted, see.  That is it, definitely.  Hair on fire on the financial networks.  Definitely on fire.     

"Fear is back, VIX above 15, XIV breaking down. SPY to follow, earnings will be a reality check."

We new top was in on 4/11/17 when thorstach said so. Sorry you missed it.

It's been 8 weeks since hurricane Micheal, I still don't have cable.
I'm not seeing any financial shows, something going on?
  Cable company says they might have me hooked up on Thursday,
but they also said I'd have it by Thanksgiving.

Just the normal Trump-induced volatility.  Nothing you have to do anything about.

As the length of the thread approaches infinity, any individual post on the thread approaches zero.  Therefore the calculus bottom is in.

Market always exists because Top always exists. Top is the Beginning and the End.

Naw dawg.  The cumulative thorstach hypothesis states that the value of a post is the sum of its responses.  Just look at the original post as an example— alone, it’s a throwaway comment, but as this thread gets longer, it’s significance increases.  Therefore, as the length of the thread approaches infinity, each post approaches TOP⇪ infinity*.

No frivolous posts here, all serious memes discussion.  Chiclet Top soon to be in.

That's only true if you approach from different sides and get a different result. Clearly the market is going only down to 0, no matter how we look at it. So, the limit exists! And it's zero: aka Top is In.

You're forgetting the essence of the game. It's in the cones. Divide Top by 0 and you get Top.

I always suspected that mustachianism was a cult. Now I know it to be true.

If we register as a religion can then our lord and savior MMM then get tax-exempt status for his blog?

[brooklynmoney]

On a long enough timeline everyone’s survival rate is zero. Same for the top. Top will be in one day for sure.

Said well - You could be another John Maynard Keynes who said:

“In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us that when the storm is long past the ocean is flat again"

Seems like we've been on the crest of a wave and are rolling to the trough.  I was hoping to FIRE soon and do not wish to drown in economic tumult before I am able.  However, I've never heard of anyone dying from catfood.

Not sure if this was on your mind or not, but under US tax law starting a church for tax-exempt status is easier than one might imagine

From this linked article:

"The unpredictable swings in the S&P 500 has Susquehanna market strategist Stacey Gilbert worried investors aren't prepared for the next big rally or sell-off.

"I like owning tails, I continue to like owning tails. Those are owning out-of-the-money options for the potential of those big gap risks," said Gilbert. "That could be both to the upside and the downside, I'm not saying I only want to own downside because as we saw we can move just as quickly to the upside here… I like owning that optionality where you have exposure to extreme type of moves."

I mean, wow. Just, wow. I got a nice laugh out of trying to decipher anything from this statement.

Yea, I thought it was pretty funny that the market promptly rebounded 500 points today after he called the top.  Again.

I’m really curious at this point what he gets out of this thread. It clearly holds a very special spot in the MMM forums for the rest of us. Does @thorstach understand what a legend he has become?

It's obvious what he gets out of this thread: It's a pump and dump scheme! err... or like a reverse pump and dump scheme thing... He says top is in, we all dump our stocks because he is thorstach the wise, then he buys. Since he is a gagillionaire the market rallies every time he buys/posts!
