The markets rallied today in the face of World War III and doom from the Middle East. I warned this morning that it was a distinct possibility but little did I dream the bulltards would shoot their wad long before they could find a mate to breed and thrill her with their power.
The truth is that on a holiday the following boxes were checked quite successfully:

But buckle up retail bagholders; the Robinhooder market is about get obliterated again.
