Wait until you see how much they love $125 oil, coming soon to a gas station near you (all of them in fact)!

I'm becoming so angry about all this mess, and I know it's futile and unhealthy but I can't help it. We're all paying through the nose in order to rescue Wall Street billionaires. Meanwhile, I can't save for my future because interest rates are well below inflation. The only ones making money in this environment are the short-term players willing to gamble on Wall Street on the Greater Fool theory. If you're unwilling to overpay for a questionable corporate earnings stream, then there is no savings vehicle. Soaring inflation has even meant that prices of traditional stores of value such as gold now are jacked so high that they have stomach-churning risk and volatility. I don't like rapid movements in asset prices, period. It makes it virtually impossible to save and plan for the future. I guess the only way to deal with it is massive diversification, so that all the noise is smoothed out. `BC

Rally when rates go up, rally when rates go down Rally when growth is up, rally when growth is down Rally when employment is up, rally when employment is down. Rally when losses are up, rally when losses are down Rally when profits are up, rally when profits are down Rally when sentiment is up, rally when sentiment is down Rally when spending is up, rally when spending is down.
