Let’s discuss the mysterious Number 9. This number fascinates me since I found out on my own that when adding a numerical sequence with the purpose of reducing it to a single digit the number 9 does some very interesting stuff indeed!
Have you ever heard the term “the lost decade”? It was used to describe a period of time after the internet bubble burst in the year 2000 which preceded a decade long bear market in U.S. stocks. The S&P 500 Index returned a paltry 2.3%/year, a consistently negative net return after inflation, and for an entire decade!

And until that [disappearing] brain matter re-appears I see no compelling reason for a new bull market to begin… cash is getting ready to be real scarce! 🙂
18,000 virtual-only Crypto-currencies, a market cap now well in excess of $1 trillion U.S. dollars and climbing. Seriously? I’m not sure of how this story will end, all I can say is I’ve never before witnessed a bubble of this magnitude!
Have you ever made your way into the kitchen around midnight, flipped on the light and were shocked to find roaches partying on your countertop? Roaches and other household insects prefer to conduct “covert operations”, under a blanket of darkness. After all, you were supposed to be sleeping!

It appears to me now that the NASDAQ bottom in this downturn could easily see the index fall to the 9,600 to 9,800 level. My question to all these Leftist Tech Oligarchs who continuously censor free speech, and accurate reporting of the Truth, are you Socialists having fun yet?
