- Low carbohydrate diets are the only way to go!
- Just a monthly seasonality chart...to go along with the overbought market.
- Below, youth unemployment in Europe. Horrific! I hope they can turn things around soon.
- Interesting graph above from Gluskin Sheff.
- The thing that stands out is when the chart goes negative, that was when the bear markets of 2000 and 2007 began.
- Could be coincidental as there are two few instances to draw a true conclusion from...but certainly interesting.
- Hidden benefits of capitalism...in China and elsewhere.
- A new year, a fresh start...figure out what is important to you and get to it!
- Good luck and best wishes for your great year ahead!
- Info on New Year's resolutions below...
- Above...US military bases worldwide. A bit much, I'd say.
- On a market note...SP500....2010 closing price was 1257.64...2011 closing price was 1257.60. Don't think that the market is controlled by folks with a sense of humor? Remember the 666 low for SP500 in MAR09??? Can't get much closer to unchanged than that.
- Rip Van Winkle would've woke up after this year and said "Gee, I guess nothing happened!" which belies the roller coaster sideways year this was.
- Charts worked up by breakpointtrades.com and they were simple and to the point so I credit them and post for reference.
- Above, all you can say is sloppy sideways...nearing apex of triangles. Breakout will come, eventually...direction unknown. But, when it breaks out all the stored energy should provide for a pretty good move.
- Below, long term weekly chart with various indicators. Take some time and review it. There is no "system" but you should review the chart and draw some tools / guides from it for your future use.
- Historical interest rates of 30 year US Treasury Bond.
- 1935-1941 was the depths of the Great Depression. The economy was mired down and did not improve until WWII came along.
- Look at interest rates from 1935-1941.
- Now, look at our current interest rates...notice something? Are we in a Depression?
- See above for what is quietly happening...Lessening dependence on imported oil!
- It's good news...why isn't the media really banging this message?
- Could be one helluva jobs program if we'd just get to it! Read more here.
- Some info on fracking for natural gas and oil.
- Fracking...more info.
- Struggling to find a campaign message this time.
- Is it OK if we talk about his record this time? We at least have something to talk about this time.
- Above, the bothersome facts that the "greenie's" don't want you to be aware of.
- Why don't they believe in your right to freedom of choice in what energy source best serves your family and you?
- Honestly, do you know anyone...anyone???....who wants to pay 2-3 times more for their electric bill?
- "A day that will live in infamy." ...70 years later.
- What a wild ride of a year...and no progress. It's only been for trading...and tough at that.
- Historical depiction of unemployment.
- Is sitting killing you? Below...
- Above...Police in the U.S. dealing with protesters exercising their First Amendment rights of free speech and peaceful assembly as they call out for justice over the past few years of brazen outright corruption supported by the Wall St / Washington cabal over the past few years. (What percent are you?)
- Below...And then there's this...how fraud & white collar crime is dealt with in China.
- Hmmm...perhaps if we had better law enforcement and prosecutions back in 2008, and since, there might not be protests here in the US now??? Perhaps? Ya think?
- The way MF Global's Jon Jon Corzine case is handled will be an all important tell as to whether things have changed or if they are just getting worse.

- Triangle chop (highlighted in yellow) gets tighter and tighter every day. trapped between 50 and 200 MA's.
- Potential breakout / breakdown potential highlighted on the far right of chart.
- It is sideways...resolution could go either way. It's been a real grind for the past bunch of weeks.
- Always good for different perspectives. This fella is a great chartist...you can see his website on the chart.
- Good visual of the "price" being paid by Main Street during this ongoing financial stress.
- Look at those interest rates! Anyone reliant upon interest income (ie, retirees) has been devastated with nowhere to turn since stocks are not an appropriate place for them based on risks.
- Also, shows the unbelievable effect of QE on and QE off regards the stock market.
- The similarities between 2007 and current continue.
- Doesn't mean it will continue but it sure is interesting.
- The truth about "Hey, let me help you with that" which politicians don't tell you.
- They say they'll "give you stuff" to get your votes. What they don't say is that to give you stuff, they first have to take it from you...just to give it back to you.
- Why do people fall for the nonsense?
- Market? Seemed overbought to me over the weekend.
