Market poised to rally all week in anticipation of Greek kicking-the-can, but plenty of technical indications that a (the?) top may at last be at hand. Let everyone call it a
correction until
it's not.
What better time for a book thread? I've been stacking quite a bit lately.
You'll notice a rough theme, but these are just some of very many analog books I am continually sifting from the shelves of the world over to mine.
I'll let the books tell the story.

I'm always acquiring good books.
Six of these 21 books were ordered off the internet, either Amazon or abebooks.com or even Ebay.
The rest are found the old-fashioned way, brick & mortar style.
I do need to pay a visit to my favorite Seattle bookshop, Anderson's Books just south of me in the Ballard neighborhood. Mark has an excellent shop.
It’s a new paradigm, and everybody who doesn’t buy, now, will be priced out forever. Anybody who does buy will be rewarded with a lifetime of riches, as their property will continue its 30% yearly price increase.
Renters, and anybody born in a future generation, will not be able to afford a $10,000,000 starter home in 15 years. They will live in tent cities, and Hondas.
This asset bubble is different than all of the others - it will never slow down, or pop. The gains are permanent.
Will also further Janet Yellen's research objective, which is to minimize wealth inequality.
Anyone want to start Fed-Up Capital Management with me? We'll just run our own pads. CG does his thing. I do mine. Bicycle does his. PB does his. Let's be there for the little guy, for once, somebody. Ultra low cost... like robo-advisory cheap.
VIX has broken out over its old trendline.
SPX count actually makes sense -- nested 5th wave ending diagonals, works on both the DJIA and SPX. The SPX would complete the nested 5th at 2140 on Tuesday.
Would need more time to reach the tippity toppity top of the larger E-D, which is now way up in the 2160s. But it's too obvious, right?
The SPX daily Bollinger has come in again, and modest surge can reach it in the next few days.
Will post updated charts tonight. And I still think Janet's going to raise in two weeks.
