the stock market can make you make money, but for sure it's not as interesting as history, archeology and antropology

 

 

The western part of the province where I live was not venetic, but celtic as Kelts and Venetics were the two major peoples of the land just south of the Alps.

 

They were very similar peoples except for the language. Artistic forms similar to the venetic ones are commonly found northwards in nowadays central Europe.

 

In a large celtic necropolis of the iron age in the lower part of the province, they have found a burial of a 5-7 years old kid who they think was the son a celtic prince

 

given the chariot that was found inside the tomb which in the celtic culture is typical of highly ranked persons. 

 

On youtube if you want you can set the subtitles in English to read the translation

 

 

 

Now tell me if all of that is not more interesting than the stock market that is boring by definition and particularly these days exponentially boring

Ah, as for the well claimed stock market TOP of the tops we have to wait some more months. The European sector I'm currently in with a long position has a target which is 50% higher than current levels.

 

Take your conclusions.

Here's some interesting history for you!!  Back in 2000 many people were calling for a top, including me after the Nasdaq hit 5000 and I said it would be at least 15 years before it sees a high again and that's exactly what happened and all of this while the internet actually got better and better every month.  We're in the same place now.  It's only a few companies that are really AI and all they are doing now is rotating money amongst themselves and in the end that doesn't work.  Then you have smaller companies that are slowly biting away at market share and whalla, it creates flatness and volatility which creates an up market but a normal market as the big stocks lose their weightings.  Just look at old charts of microsoft.  It was the Savior with windows 1995!!!  Today its openai.....  I'm not sure exactly when were going to top but one needs to be cautious here considering where were at today.  Sometimes its just better to sit and wait...

12spx, if I sit and wait I don't make money which is all that counts in every kind of society, capitalistic or not. In other words I must act and doing so I must choose the least risky investments even more so in this kind 

 

of environment that looks like the last stages of a long term bull market. The problem I have in being bearish right now, is that the banks in Europe are flashing big buy signals while the automotive sector is bouncing 

 

and shows the same bullish potential as the banks. Am I allowed to believe that America which leads may drop if Europe which follows is flashing so powerfull bullish signals ? I think no. 

[andr99]

In other words, 12spx, I think you are focusing on the early signals of the next bearish market that is coming, but you have first to give the bull its last dance.

Awwwwww well individual stocks are another thing, I'm talking about the overall market which is much different and I know nothing about Europe.  I'm specifically talking about the US markets and little rational.  We've moved +3% in 4 days after hitting highs.  A normal year is +10% so this is not healthy at all.......

[andr99]

what does it mean individual stocks ? One or two stocks of a sector may move differently to all the rest of that sector, but the majority will move accordingly to it. By the way our own domestic index here is the ftsemibtel

 

which is largely influenced by the banks so that if you know where the banks go, you also know where the ftsemibtel is directed. I tell you that all the banks of italy and Germany that I have on my screen are set up to rise.

 

And that can hardly happen if the spx drops, so the only thing I can suppose is that America will lead us higher. You trade options, I trade stocks and believe me before taking a position I go to watch everything that is

 

somehow linked to the stock I have chosen to trade. You are probably a master in option trading, but let me say that all the stocks on my screen are still bullish.

Yeah but now we have QE and a lot of people at the top want to make the majority of human work unnecessary so that we can have less carbon output and the rest can go work on Bill's farms. Feudalism baby.

by the way, I clicked on the third symbol on the lower right corner of the video I posted in order to hear the English instant translation. Every time the translation says venetian it should say venetic, because 

 

venetian means ''of Venice'' which is simply a town that was built at the time of barbaric invasions in northern italy of Goths and Lombards and thus didn't even exist when the Venetics settled here. Everybody

 

talks about AI, but I guess there is a long way to walk to fine-tuning it.
