Gary, I like your post and the Chinese Proverb on your SI profile, of
To Prophesy is extremely difficult, especially with respect to the future.
It was in this spirit that I replied to Darleen about how those very nice and impressive prediction tools used on the XAU were to me just a lot of visual hullabaloo.
<<...ancient Chinese Medical System ... simple but effective ... Doctor did his all to keep his customer healthy. Simple....>>
And to quote that man worth $ Billion(s) Warren Buffet as for why he does not invest into .COMs or some other areas he answered something like "...if I can not understand what it is or is doing, then I am not able to predict what it will do.."
To me the simple fact that there are too many ideas to explain the USA and global economies leads me to come to the conclusion that what is being studied, the economies and government and business activities, are not a well planed and correctly made system, but a mangaled and disconnected and manulipided and very sad state of affairs that is unhealthy and unstable and will collapse.
All that is now happening is those stupid people that created this world economy are trying in their continuation of stupidity to keep it running with more stupid stuff.
Like a house built with rotten lumber, but with a nice coat of paint, looks nice, but as it starts to crumble, needed supports, wood is delivered to be used to keep it up, but the wood used is the same used in its construction, more rotten wood, holds for a short time, but then its starts to fail, more support needed, and so how much support can be added ? until the house of "rotten wood" falls
