Egypt warned Israel about Hamas a week before the attacks. Bibi let it happen because it took the eyes off of his political corruption investigation. Bibi is corrupt and only cares about his personal gains. The civilian to Hamas casualty rate is 20:1. This is clearly by design and a genocide. Furthermore, Hamas is not the government of Palestinians. They are just one of the many organizations. Nobody can justify massacre of the civilians and mass destruction on the basis of punishment for a few who are not even the official government. Don't even get me started on Israel targeting journalists. Anyways, I am done with this. Like you, I don't have a personal stake in this. It just bothers my sense of justice and humanity.

Stocks are not normally distributed. They have a log-normal distribution. This is why Bollinger bands don't behave as you'd expect. The standard deviation does not work properly for non-Gaussian distributions. What I have done in my version of BB, is to separate the standard distributions for up days and down days and apply it separately to the upper and lower bands. This fixes some of the problems. Ultimately, it's not about what the chart shows you; it's about how you interpret it. So long as you know the quirks, you can use whatever indicator that you like. I prefer Keltner Bands for the short term and my own version of Bollinger bands for long term charts (think 200 week duration)
