...stick with me while I take a chart gazer's look at the Dow. It's in a classic "pennant" formation that in the end tells us nothing about whether the market is going up or down but leaves us with one valuable tidbit: we're due for a breakout--soon. And when it comes, up or down, the market should continue in that direction for a while...

That is another telltale sign of our nation's frivolous attitude toward money. And unfortunately, all this cash will be spent only on the elections! The better things get, the less interested we are in the most serious areas of governing. The more money we have, the more public indifference there is to those who are hurting the most. And the beat goes...
