It’s amazing – it’s fantastick – its… stupid!
Not STUPID, like Spain, Turkey, UK, Portugal, Italy and Dubai – who are also in major financial crisis but stupid like because a boy put a finger in the dyke we don’t have to evacuate the town anymore and, in fact, we’re going to build a whole new section of town out of paper houses right next to the dyke to show how much we don’t worry about getting wet any more. That’s the global economy in a nutshell – we freak out if anyone says a bad word about it but then we are overjoyed if someone else says it’s all fixed – even if it’s the same person both times…
Manic depression is a disorder where people are subject to extreme mood swings, going from feeling very sad, despairing, helpless, worthless, and hopeless (depression) to feeling as if they are on top of the world, hyperactive, creative, and grandiose (mania). This disease is called bipolar disorder because the mood of a person can alternate between two completely opposite poles, euphoric happiness and extreme sadness. The extremes of mood usually occur in cycles and tend to become closer together with age and, according to EMed: “Extreme mania can lead to aggressive behavior, potentially dangerous risk-taking behaviors.” Hmm, does this sound like any markets we know?
The behavior of the EU and other world leaders is starting to look more and more insane every day. Yesterday Greece was literally saved in the morning, screwed in the afternoon and saved again in the evening (holding up so far this morning) and the Dow went from 10,830 to 10,950 and back to 10,840 during it’s session. I’ve dated girls like this – that’s why we moved to CASH last week! More and more our World leaders are starting to sound like the Joker in the last Batman movie, who said:
“Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I’m a dog chasing cars. I wouldn’t know what to do with one if I caught it. You know, I just… do things… Nobody panics when things go “according to plan.” Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it’s all “part of the plan.” Introduce a little anarchy. Upset…
