Good comment silvernuts:

"I am, for one, tired of watching phoney markets and TA explanations for fundamentals when it is all one great Ponzi scheme that only benefits that microscopic segment of the population - those that would destroy everyone else in the country to protect their interests"

We have seen first hand for years rampant manipulation and outright theft. Yet the government has switched role from an enforcer of regulations to a de-regulator and interference runner for the crooks. TA is just a tool that can be used by the crooks to distract from their graft. TA has its place, but it is too easy to paint a chart given the rampant shorting and peer to peer dark markets that coexist with regular markets.

I assume most here are like me and spend a lot of time doing research so that they become well aquainted with the fundamentals. Then they watch as government backed crooks play investors like a board game where they control every roll of the dice.

I am turning schzophrenic wanting to hope that DC cleans up fall street but watching the reality of same-old-same-old. Maybe some day.....
