Abebooks has this at $70 to $100, probably toward the low-end as mine has a couple of chips out of the jacket. But I paid $2.99, so I am pleased with the exchange. Bicycle's copy is nicer, but I paid less than he did.
Wedge is looking good up here in the ether -- here's my local count. Janet speaks a couple of times during RTH next week, could be a good time if she decides to shank the Donald.

So CG, I assume you've got your septic tank ready...
I read an interview with Bannon recently, where he said he wanted negative interest rates. How is he going to get that done?

Yah, the long-term charts of the ^TNX and the ^IRX are important to watch now.
10Y Treasury never did break out above 3% and end the Volcker bond bull. Yields can easily go under 1% now, but you know what that means, of course.
Bannon wanting to borrow ZIRPy $$$ from the future is a bit too self-knowing, like gaming the system with $1T coins.
I don't think reality will grant him that loan.
"I don't think reality will grant him that loan." I agree. The ambitious tend to have trouble with reality.
Well, that's exactly it, Hugh. Bannon gets it, the long cycle in demographics/Kultur and probably K-wave monetary debt cycles, too.
The plan is a last-ditch push to buy Real Things -- ports, roads, bridges -- before Winter sets in, and to stabilize our population.
It's prepping for the nation-state.
Uh oh.

Lucifer's Hammer could have a real counterpart...
Earth Under Fire: Humanity's Survival of the Ice Age: https://www.amazon.com/Earth-Under-Fire-Humanitys-Survival/dp/1591430526
"Compelled by his decryption of an ancient warning hidden in zodiac constellation lore, LaViolette worked with information from many scientific sources, including astronomical observations, polar ice core measurements, and other geological data, to confirm that our Galaxy’s core exploded, unleashing a barrage of cosmic rays that arrived near the end of the last ice age. This barrage caused the solar system to become enveloped in a dense nebula, which led to periods of persistent darkness, frigid cold, severe solar storms, searing heat, and mountainous floods that plagued mankind for many generations. Linking his scientific findings to details preserved in ancient myths and monuments, he demonstrates how past civilizations accurately recorded the causes of these cataclysmic events, knowledge of which may be crucial for the human race to survive the next superwave cycle. This information reveals the intelligence and ingenuity of our ancestors who, when faced with extinction, found the means to warn us that the apocalypse that destroyed them could occur once again virtually without warning."
Will a Superwave arrive in 2017?
http://etheric.com/will-superwave-arrive-2017/
The first three days will be the worst since the barrage will be most intense during that period. After that one might venture outside if the radiation intensity is sufficiently low. A geiger counter would come in very handy. Hopefully by that time there will be people around who will have some information on the degree of the radiation hazard. It would also help if you have access to a solar powered home that is off the grid. Be aware that the Sun could become aggravated during the event and could produce excessive flares which could have more lethal effects than the superwave.

Is the DJT going to tease the bulls, by running up to the ATH, only to reverse hard?
hard to believe we're less than 3% from DJI 21K. given the strength so far this year, 22,500 might look cheap by the year end finish. dji already up over 3.3% and feb not half over. s&p is now a solid 300 pts above the Donald low (which odds favor never seeing again).
we are fortunate to be in this market. only the mid 4th with plenty of good bull years left. dji 40k will come before dust settles.
hugh you need to up your ante, this secular is not even have over.
never going to get tired of seeing new levels never seen before :)
2450 is coming, not sure that quick. it's just a stop on the way to s&p 3,000.
remember most amazing bull mkt in history. this market is march considerably higher for the foreseeable (8+ year) future.
zero reason to sell. hugh don't wait much longer to add. now 307 (13%above) points above the Donald low . good luck anyone hoping to see that again.
ken?
whatever happen to jaw of death guy? lol
T. Berry I actually hit the SELL button on a trade today. 7+% in about 3 months. Nothing mind-blowing, but I'll take it.
Per Caldero, "The last potential bearish count can now be discarded."
Fear/Greed index 90, VIX completely crushed. Move along folks, nothing to see here.
VIX woke up this morning.
Yep, it's waking up now. The futures were a real tease.
Negative breadth, VIX/vols off to the races.
Excellent setup for a key reversal day.
CG. Agree. But would probably still need a new high or retest after a 2-4% move lower, no?
I think we go test the Election lows in the next few weeks, then bounce into March opex.
Will post chart on this tonight.
Still sticking with prognostication that the Fed CUTS in June.
VIX SMACKED AGAIN!
UVXY KNOWS
UVXY IS THE TRUTH
For those that look at RSIs... i do think we inched out a slightly higher high on the daily (14). But yes, VXX does portend imminent weakness of some kind.
People have written about collapsing correlations (most of it Post-Trump). Has anyone realized that this phenomenon hasn't been "stress tested" at all in a Post-Trumpian falling market?
