I don’t often write about stocks or the economy.. it’s just too difficult to know anything with any certainty anymore.

And as for the market… I don’t trust it one bit. It’s not real… it’s a fabrication and fully owned enterprise of helicopter Ben Bernanke. This isn’t just me… here’s the smart vs dumb money chart. The smart money is getting out while the ‘retail investor’ is piling in.

More evidence of the same… the number of people playing the market with borrowed money is peaking again.
