I'll kick it off with a 'must watch' video. These are the same type of people who are doing all the talking right now. It can be shown over and over how wrong all these people are, analysts, politicians, central bankers, bloggers, all of them (I've seen videos showing what Greenspan and Bern-Qwacke have said, and they were so wrong over and over it was just crazy, and they are/were in charge of it all! And Old Yeller, she said she basically missed everything that has happened, and now she's going to be in charge!). Their track records are abysmal. Yet they make tens, hundreds of millions, are completely and utterly respected, and they get endless TV time. It is, perhaps, the thing that makes the least sense of everything I have ever seen in my entire life. Yet it is so, and I think will always be so.

ES looks ready to pop.

They did it again, made it look like it was about to pop before they took it down.

Big game time now.

I know this has to be a fake. There is just no way they will dump this into a Friday close. That's my opinion, anyway. I hope it's wrong.

Get ready any time now for the pop snap back trap.

Like I said... Same old game, same old traps...

Wait, what's this? Another trap fake? Or is this just chop until close?

Inverted H&S for a pop into the close, or just crap action? I vote for crap action and nothing into the close. But, I could really care either way, I'm had it for the week.

I know everyone is gone, but just one more comment. These guys are just too funny. They gun it up in the short Friday after regular futures close session, and take out the HOD by one tick. Same old, same old. Like I said, it doesn't matter how much they made it look like it could roll over, it was pretty likely, I felt, that they would follow the same pattern they keep following. Another new all-time high, closing essentially at the high. Nothing ever changes with these maniacs, and until the system completely implodes (something I'm starting to think won't happen until long after I'm gone), I can't see it changing.

Jim,

Thank you for your great commentary!
