These are markets characterized by light volumes, an overabundance of market antics, an interfering bubble prone Fed, and plenty of mispriced, hidden risks.
Not exactly the perfect place for the casual investor.
Have a pleasant weekend.
“Blood and power intoxicate; they help to develop callousness and debauchery. The mind then becomes capable of the most abnormal cruelty, which it regards pleasure; the man and the citizen are swallowed up in the tyrant; and the return to human dignity, repentance, moral resurrection, becomes almost impossible."
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The House of the Dead
