Charts can't predict a president who issues and rescinds tariffs seemingly on a whim.

But it's sure fun to watch them try.

If I was in a different thread, I might point out that the thorstach effect is just a reversion to the mean.

Thorstach effect top is in.

Had one of the all-day money channels on at work today, "Dow 5 day winning streak" and "NASDAQ 3 day losing streak" because "market flat lately" is boring.

Dow top is in, NASDAQ bottom is in!

Because you used your crystal ball and picked the right index fund for the last two days? Now that the top is in you obviously need to use your crystal ball to pick the next winner! ;)

Maybe this time you could use some margin to improve your gain since you have such an impressive track record at picking winners?

What about a copy of your consciousness?  Or even multiple copies of your consciousness?  Digital clones top NOT in.

Who is Lloyd?

Is he Thorstach's cousin? Is Lloyd the one who keeps topping the tops?

Some place warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I’m talking about a little place called Topisin.

I look at it this way.. My 17 years worth* of VBTLX is now probably 17.5 years.

Note I don't know if VBTLX has gone up in value.. I'm just assuming it has and I'm too lazy to log on and check..:)

* If I had to live just on the bonds we have they would last 17 years at the current spend rate.
