That's why in one of my recent posts I said the recent move in US bonds was to get some rooms for dropping hard later as soon as next week.

Now where the money will go? Gold is in bubble stage, US bonds no good. I see long term value investors will start rotating into stocks.

in A/H:
TLT up .14%
VIXY up .79%
FAZ up 1.51%
Three always move in tandem.
Wonder what's the good/bad news traders see in a/h? or Monday for that matter.

Which one do you mean?Helter Skelter.
In Charles Manson's term? Racial war.
Or in 16th century Thomas Nashe: "Helter skelter, feare no colours, course him, trounce him."
Or Beatles: I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
And I get to the bottom and I see you again
Or Dictionay: Carelessly hurried and confused.

Well, since you asked. . . .
Helter Skelter
By Jonathan Swift
Helter Skelter; or, the Hue and Cry after the Attorneys upon Their Riding the Circuit.
Now the active young attorneys
Briskly travel on their journeys,
Looking big as any giants,
On the horses of their clients;
Like so many little Marses
With their tilters at their a--s,
Brazen-hilted, lately burnish'd,
And with harness-buckles furnish'd,
And with whips and spurs so neat,
And with jockey-coats complete,
And with boots so very greasy,
And with saddles eke so easy,
And with bridles fine and gay,
Bridles borrow'd for a day,
Bridles destined far to roam,
Ah! never, never to come home.
And with hats so very big, sir,
And with powder'd caps and wigs, sir,
And with ruffles to be shown,
Cambric ruffles not their own;
And with Holland shirts so white,
Shirts becoming to the sight,
Shirts bewrought with different letters,
As belonging to their betters.
With their pretty tinsel'd boxes,
Gotten from their dainty doxies,
And with rings so very trim,
Lately taken out of lim
And with very little pence,
And as very little sense;
With some law, but little justice,
Having stolen from my hostess,
From the barber and the cutler,
Like the soldier from the sutler;
From the vintner and the tailor,
Like the felon from the jailor;
Into this and t'other county,
Living on the public bounty;
Thorough town and thorough village,
All to plunder, all to pillage:
Thorough mountains, thorough valleys,
Thorough stinking lanes and alleys,
Some to--kiss with farmers' spouses,
And make merry in their houses;
Some to tumble country wenches
On their rushy beds and benches;
And if they begin a fray,
Draw their swords, and----run away;
All to murder equity,
And to take a double fee;
Till the people are all quiet,
And forget to broil and riot,
Low in pocket, cow'd in courage,
Safely glad to sup their porridge,
And vacation's over--then,
Hey, for London town again.

milbank, I'm glad I asked de man! Very fitting.
Makes me wonder if my childhood favorite "GIANT" was landed on different colored land, or he was different? Swift is a great author. Thanks.
