Selling in the London and NY paper markets is being met by determined buying. Today was another record high close as the bear raid was 'stuffed.'
The equity markets are being managed higher on thin volumes led by the SP 500 futures.
"To enter hell is to be banished from humanity. What is cast (or casts itself) into hell is not a man: it is 'remains.' To be a complete man means to have the passions obedient to the will and the will offered to God: to have been a man – to be an ex-man or 'damned ghost' – would presumably mean to consist of a will utterly centered in its self and passions utterly uncontrolled by the will." C. S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain, 1940
