"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
C. S. Lewis

 Medium term working its way into very overbought territory.

Short term bounced slightly today from its decline.

On one hand this feels like this market can go up indefinitely.  On the other hand, I don't see how my long term indicator can continue to stay pegged to its upper bound.  Have the rules really changed as the tsunami of funny money from Quantitative Easing endlessly searches for returns?  What happens when people want to claim their winnings?

Turn off the TV and tell your "social destiny" to fuck off.  You can be anything you want, including yourself.

Short term is very overbought.  One of the highest readings the past three years.

The US Government cannot continue to operate without taking on more debt.  This is the problem with a debt based monetary system.  It's unsustainable and always requires more money (debt) to service existing debt. Celebrate.  BTFATH.

15 Oct 2013

 Medium term still lagging previous highs.

Short term went up today - I'm guessing from the early day strength.  Since its above 70%, I consider it overbought.  We'll have to monitor if it remains lower than the previous peak.

If I were still in touch with the market, I'd guess this short term rally will fail due to the still high medium term levels and the persistent weakness showing up in the long term indicator for the past few months.

"The liberties of people never were, or never will be secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them."
Patrick Henry

Short term still is not oversold despite the sell-off today.

It's a little late news, but I find it interesting that Obama is saying that Wall Street will feel this shutdown.  I recall in mid 2009, he said stocks were a good buy.  I wonder if he is right again.
