What about Heisenberg? We have no idea what is going to happen next.

Things are going up, down, and strange, and the one with all the charm is doing his best to keep things unobservable.

Day after day, investors have been hit with more evidence that we’ve been consistently and systematically lied to about the state of the economy....

I was watching the stock market this morning and I was wondering who or what was propping the Dow up to keep it above 10,000.

Treasury is probably trying to hold 10,000.

Most small investors no longer trust the market but these same idiots drool over TV where every channel supports The Imam. 24x7x365 of total propaganda on every tv channel.

I think it was just psychological support at 10k ... institutional buying at that support level. If the dow breaks below 10k decisively, those same institutions will sell their positions in a heartbeat.

Skynet has control of this market......period. It is nothing but machines trading back and forth lately. The joke is it hits a level and they flip the Skynet switch.

I haven’t changed a thing. It is unsettling but I do hope the increase in share buys pays off well in the long run.
