Meanwhile...

Almost two decades

 

The afternoon saw another rally attempt... but it failed, with a distinct case of 'rats selling into the weekend'.

Volatility picked up into the weekend, the VIX settling +11.4% to 20.95, a notable close above the key 20 threshold, which bodes problematic for next Monday.

New 'smart' glasses from Facebook, with built in speakers and a mic for recording. What more do the millennials need?

... which reminded me of the masterpiece 'They Live' (1988)...

Yours truly did start Thursday in a '... and I'm all out of bubble gum' mood. It is often a good idea to regularly 'cleanse' those Twitter followers whom don't like notions such as liberty, freedom, and capitalism.
