Nice gasoline chart. Thanks.
But what ever happened to the perma-bear-eating-the-climbing up-sliding down-sisyphusian-figure ICON?
Did 5 years of the 4th longest BOOL market in recorded history wear it out?

[edit] "Sisyphean task" or "Sisyphean challenge"
As a punishment from the gods for his trickery, Sisyphus was compelled to roll a huge rock up a steep hill, but before he reached the top of the hill, the rock always escaped him and he had to begin again (Odyssey, xi. 593). The maddening nature of the punishment was reserved for Sisyphus due to the mortal's hubristic belief that his cleverness surpassed that of Zeus. Sisyphus took the bold step of reporting one of Zeus's sexual conquests, telling the river god Asopus of the whereabouts of Asopus' daughter, Aegina. Zeus had taken her away, and regardless of the impropriety of Zeus's frequent conquests, Sisyphus unmistakably overstepped his bounds by considering himself a peer of the gods who could rightfully report their indiscretions (Edith Hamilton's Mythology, 312-313). As a result, Zeus displayed his own cleverness by binding Sisyphus to an eternity of frustration. Accordingly, pointless or interminable activities are often described as Sisyphean. Sisyphus was a common subject for ancient writers and was depicted by the painter Polygnotus on the walls of the Lesche at Delphi (Pausanias x. 31).
The sliding bear will come back when market conditions dictate.
I posted upon my return that nothing is as good to bring reality to one as to hang out with zealot bears ( way more than I was) who proclaim a crash every day see every astro aspect even the rising sun as a crash predictor.
That being said this bull market has been long in time but not particulary so in amplitude. Its long in the tooth if not over already. But am more measured in my forcasting.
