i heard you my friend c2, and am in w/ the austrians

the crazy impetus we are all on, that of fiat money inflation, whether by QE or by feedback-loop of asset-inflation induced 'growth' disguising asset re-distribution, is still going, and interest rate remains ridiculously low even as some scream at top of lung that QE is over ... as far as i can see, nothing about fiat money inflation is 'over'

when we get a free lunch, we of course are merely getting the lunch from someone else, and so, in the big picture, a day my lunch comes free may well be a day elmat paid for a part of my lunch

the truth is that everything (inc cash) and everynothing (incl crypto) is a position, and as far as the music and dancing goes, must of course keep in step with the accelerating tempo, else messy

i have meetings this day, so shall likely (am pondering) set 2-way tripwires for autonomous dancing

(1) have set up autonomous
(i) sell order to sell all position (average cost 262.89) at 287.60 or better, and
(ii) buy order to double position at 267.00 or better

(2) may do mid-course re-calibration during noon to simply buy more, as believe the ramp-up is still in play

(3) let us see if at end day I still have a position or not. i would prefer to have a position.

(4) fun. during the meeting i shall silence my phone per custom and not be bothered about the successive rapid alerts on executions should there be any

- best outcome would be i sold then bought
- worst outcome would be i sold and not bought
- indifferent outcome would be i bought

Am out, for awhile, for at least the rest of today

Now have no publicly-traded positions

The armed-recon over the past three weeks has been fun

I returned home after lunch today, all after my meeting this morning, and I caught my wife day-trading shares. She had heretofore never taken an interest in anything to do w/ finance. She even asked me some basic questions about stocks. She has a MBA degree so knows what a stock is, own some, but never day-traded.

I told her to unload her oil stocks, hold bank stocks, and trade around the core of her 0388.hk shares.

I take her trading as both good and bad news, and as a warning.

And I must consider wife’s moves whilst speculating, much as a motorcycle rider consider the passenger’s zig n zag

Too funny

Watch & brief, just in in-tray

That parabolic chart (DJIA, monthly) in Heinz's latest piece is flat-out terrifying....

If I recall correctly, the economy was humming along fine in 1987, and continued to show positive GDP growth in both 1987 and 1988 - even if the market did drop by -30%.....

Looks like if we crashed like 1987, we head back to the 18,000 level or so (where the congestion is before taking off higher)?
