It's been 8 weeks since hurricane Micheal, I still don't have cable.
I'm not seeing any financial shows, something going on?

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

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*.

Ps TOP-arrow notation is a modern mathematical notation used to describe extremely large integers

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?

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

You got that?  A "death cross."  We're all doooooooooooomed!

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.

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!

This sounds bad.

After the 'death cross,' the S&P 500 seems to be forming another scary chart pattern

Quote
The chart of the S&P 500, which flashed a scary death cross last week, now appears to be forming a new pattern that could be just as ominous.

The S&P has been forming a "head-and-shoulders" pattern, where the right shoulder seems to be building in the index's recent monthly range of 2,600 to 2,800. The top of the 'head' was when the S&P 500 hit 2,940 in late September. The neckline has been forming in the 2,600 area.

And then this:

But this could take any Santa Claus rally off the table

I really wish I knew how to read tea leaves do technical analysis.

Then it will form the "knees and toes" pattern, and we can all return to Kindergarten.

The key is to spot the first knees and toes, so you can fully take advantage of the repeat.
