tj, I am fascinated by the exponential function. From engineering point of view, it has a variety of applications. In supply and demand theory, when commodity price goes out of control, better watch out for a parabolic move without TA to rely on, where rules will be changed, where entropy of movement be introduced in societies, where chaos turned into violence. And the tsunami of waves just couldn't be stopped with a sudden drop of heads along shoulders.

Quirky Stats globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com Personal Consumption: Quirky Stats a closer look at the numbers shows that the consumer spending boom may already have come to an end, without investors noticing. The problem is this: What the government calls "personal consumption" is actually a grab bag of items, some of which don't really fit the usual notion of consumer spending. For example, the nation's current annual personal consumption of $10 trillion includes about $1.8 trillion in outlays by Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance providers. This is real money, but consumers don't control or even see most of it, since it usually goes right to the health-care provider.
