Phil > You ever wonder why the huge swings in commodities and the stock markets? Those days are over and I think for quite a while. Volatility is now about a quarter of what it was. > the answer is because no one can make any money in flat markets. Fortunes are made on huge run ups and subsequent violent pull backs No doubt about it, that's why a "dead" market is actually a safe market. The instant a trend becomes obvious it attracts the speculators like manure attracts horse-flies. Then the hedge funds pile in and the casino begins.
