Good comments, Crane. Thanks. Yes, I am removing Jan 2 & 3 to better see an upward trend. But not for the purpose of trying to "sell" anyone on my prediction. I could really care less whether or not any of my predictions come true, so long as at the end of the day, our bottom lines have improved.
We need a frame of reference from which to discuss direction, manipulation, market moves, etc. I help to set the frame of reference. Do we just keep going down until the Nasdaq is zero and the Dow is 7000? Certainly the way that the Po' Boys have worked these markets during year 2000 has devastated many Individual Investors. I believe if anything, they have improved their strategies to pull the most money possible away from Individual Investors. So looking at the markets a bit upside down is how we've been able to make so many calls in the past . . . and how I am looking at things now.
Question:
When was the last time that the markets did what everyone expected them to do?
If they moved in a random manner, the broken clock would be right twice a day. But when manipulated as they are. . . even that method of play does not work as you would expect.
I mean step back and look at the broader picture. . . .no, I mean REALLY broad. Who owns the FED? It is well believed that the Federal Reserve System [a private corporation] is owned by the massive banking families. . .mostly European, but many major investment banks, etc. like those we discuss every day, when their analysts appear on CNBC. THEY set our interest rates. . . they are America's exclusive lenders. . . they inject and pull liquidity in and out of the stock markets and money supply . . . they keep tabs on all of America's economics. . . they run our money. Some would argue they run the whole show.
There is no question about manipulation in the U.S. markets. . . it has been so since the Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act in 1913. . .to which he later regretted saying, "I have unwittingly ruined my country".
So we don't ask whether or not we are being manipulated. . . we merely examine on what level, to what extent and how the manipulation is occurring.
So yes, I do turn things upside down. . .and I encourage you to do the same. . . and use radical ways of looking at things, to better see whats really going on.
