Movies Watched -- Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Watched for forty minutes then quit. Didn't get what was going on, never saw the first? one so the backstory wasn't making sense ... wasn't interested. Didn't click. Also it's two hours and sixteen minutes which is at least forty-five minutes too long. Red rating. 

Margaret Smith -- Just Say Yes

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Love this bit from Margaret Smith, the comedian:

Parents are drugging their kids now too. You've heard about this drug Ritalin? They give it to kids for hyperactivity. And the teacher recommends it. They send the note home, "just say yes!" Hyperactivity? When I was growing up, we were all hyperactive. We lived on wax lips and pixie sticks. Difference was to cope our parents did the drugs, as it should be. Now it's like, "Here honey, you take this, Mommy's sober. C'mon, down the hatch."

Long Bond Yields To Go Much Lower

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Everyone saw this set-up last summer ... I'm using the weekly TLT chart here instead of the TNX/TYX yield charts, but it's all the same pattern ... in the last few weeks another long set up appeared ... the low on the 30 year bond yield back in January 2015 was 2.226% ... frayed-shirtcuff chartists expect yields to drop below there, maybe significantly below there ... it's just what the chicken bones are forecasting, take it with grain of salt.
