Okay, crew, let's kick some buttkowski this week.

The Beatles Helter Skelter. How apropos.

Actually in my haste to post the level(s), this may reach for 8. 6-8. It's really two levels, but I'll call it one for simplicity. But it won't matter... They won't give me my desired downside.

c'mon break it out already! this is too funny

The Nikkei is up over 33% in two months and change. Japan. Seriously, Japan... Japan is a bug in search of a windshield as Mauldin says. Japan.

It's just so obvious, rat, I can't see them doing anything but breaking it out, and that will draw a zillion programs in, and off it goes in a flash. It seems almost written in stone. I'm hoping this is one that is so obvious the trap is to not do it. Or break it over slightly then crush it. But I'm just hoping for the impossible...

So in the meantime the play is to sit long, hold the nose, and be ready to bail if need be. In other words, same old, same old, day after frickin' day.

Mostly I'm just talking out loud because I'm bored out of my mind...

Notice, there, for you tick chart followers, how it looked real weak, then they blast it up. This is on purpose, in my opinion.

It's just being a big tease. They are making it look weak now on one higher degree. It's just a big game. Then, when people like me finally tire of the game, they'll drop it so they can laugh as we sit on the sidelines. In the meantime, they'll just keep snap trapping the suckers as they grind it up. Same old, same old.

For those trying hard to make sense of the price action, here's a Tim Knight Slope of Hope chart:



Nice action.
