dull market. Richard Russell likens the tight trading range to 1972 which was, obviously, prior to the waterfall declines in 1973-1974.

the USA is like a fading female beauty, long past her prime

the new trend is toward dry skin, rotting teeth, and a limp in her gait from one leg much shorter than the other

she has a fat ass, or have you not noticed ?

she is still looked to by foreigners for an easy freebie, or a quick toss, or a thorough roll in the hay

lately, this fading beauty prefers to pick her john's pocket
rather than seek a gift
she relies on credit cards given to her
she prints phony money in her basement, rather than get a job

she makes deals with powerful pimps, former beaus
they steal the jewelry belonging to her customers

she covers her former facial beauty with layer upon layer of heavy makeup
she talks about her beauty, rather than preserving it
claims of her beauty require poor sunlight

she doesnt think twice about kicking her prospective johns in the nuts if they balk at her wishes

she listens at walls and doorways
rather than join conversations like her former social bee

sure, she is envied and desired
but it is "memory of her former beauty" that foreigners remember
