I agree with you that the markets are simulated, stimulated, and even titillated beyond any sense of reasonableness and that trying to chart them is at best frustration for most of us normal folks. And I mean truly frustrated. Like when you really have to go to the bathroom. In recent years when that feeling says ” I got to go.” it is more of a command than a polite suggestion, or something that can be put off to a later date. Which only leads to more pressure, pun intended, when finally having found the restroom area I am confronted with a series of confusing signs. I am not sure which one to use, or who else might be inside doing their business. I am beginning to think that it might be easier just to find a nearby tree. And even if they give me a ticket, it might be less of an inconvenience and cheaper on the pocket book for me than walking in to the nearest bathroom and being ambushed. Yes sir, charts and signs, its all a bit confusing to me. Have a good one Mr. Copper. One of these days this ole world is going to make sense again….well maybe. (Grin)
