WS is telling America they only want to tell them the sun is always shining. Why is the message not being properly heard? Because it's being delivered in such a muddled fashion.

Who wants to hear their investment decision was wrong or the economy is sick or their personal financial health is in jeopardy? You can't keep a seafood store open if you're only offering rotten fish. The WS scam machine is built on the perception that stocks go up; and they can tell you what, when, and how.

Oil is down, how come the market isn't up? That BS might be wearing off. CNBC says the market is doing great today, LMAO.

The recent action is all about hedge funds tripping over each other to exit a crowded, overleveraged trade. It happened in retail back in January, and now the short financials/long commodities couple. While I had avoided the commodity sector because of the risk I saw in it during a recession, I failed to realize the linkage to the financials. It was two weeks into this short-covering rally before I was finally tipped off to the connection.

Hindsight is 20-20.
