"These violent delights have violent ends,
And in their triumph die..."
William Shakespeare
"I know nothing that I may say can influence you. You have no souls to be influenced. You are spineless, flaccid things. You pompously call yourselves Republicans and Democrats. You are lick-spittlers and panderers, the creatures of the Plutocracy."
Jack London, The Iron Heel
“Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil, but as a necessity, or even a duty. Sin is not a distance, but is a turning of our gaze, in the wrong direction."
Simone Weil
Today was one of the lightest trading days of the year by volume.
And it was also a Comex metals option expiration, albeit one of slight significance.
As I said last week, the tape was scoured clean by wild swings and volatility.
And now the paint can be applied, into the year end.
What does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, but to lose their souls.
But to virtually throw them away for so little?
Have a pleasant evening.
