You just got to love it when hacks on Cable TV talk about capitulation and how investors should be buying stocks at these levels. This is from Investopedia.com

If you do something smart in this stockmarket, that would be to continue to ignore the hacks on cable TV talking about capitulation and how you should buy stocks at these levels. Do yourself a favor and don't. I have said it before. We are nowhere near capitulation. Hell, we have not had a huge market crash yet. What do you think will happen to shares of stock you buy now? Chances are good, you will lose most of your monies and look like the legions of fools who listened to the hacks on cable TV. You could become filthy rich if you play this stockmarket smart, or you could be broke and poor if you listen to the idiots on cable TV. Your choice.
 
UK lawmakers just slapped a windfall profits tax on oil. What could go wrong, right guys? Oil is highly inflationary, start with the gas pumps, price of food and commodities, supplies for businesses all going up, all price increases passed to the UK consumer. More likely, US politicians chomping at the bit to likewise, raise taxes on oil as well. Just wait for it. So, everything is hunky dory for consumers the world over and over valued stock prices but, nothing to worry about. Buy and grow rich say the hacks. Nothing to worry about. Okay, if you say so. Let me get the popcorn. This is getting good.

Yeah, you and I want to see that but, that is not happening. Atleast, not during our lifetime. Not to worry. Satan has accomodations waiting for all of them in the after life. No exceptions for any of the asswipes. Eventually, they will all reap karmic justice. That goes for all Federal and State politicians engaged in abuses of US laws with impunity.

Investors and traders are probably, being lulled into a sense of security that the worst is over. We will see soon enough.

Trump put tariffs on Canadian lumber to appease his base even though American users of lumber protested the action.
