More than forty years ago I spent a week in a fleabag hotel in Milwaukee. A few doors down the hall was a room occupied by a woman who owned a television set. This was not common in those days. She seemed proud of her posession and kept it on at high volume 24 hours a day. There was a transom over each door, and she kept her transom open.

There must have been complaints and warnings, but I just suffered quietly.

Finally, one morning, at about 4:30 a.m., when the TV was still loudly going, one could hear loud knocking on her door, and "Police! Open up!" The Police got in and dragged her away. She was screaming horrible insults and threats. The TV was turned off. All was quiet. Next night everyone on the hall got a good night's sleep.

Now why do I think about this episode?

How about instead taking a look at:

No chart there, but some slight promise of an end of the crazy bear market rally.

I humbly acknowledge that, yes, there was indeed a bear flag, and we are all in your debt for pointing it out. Any analysis suggesting that the market was going to rally was preposterous -- in fact, dead wrong. Now please go haunt another thread.
