I know it’s summer and there are probably ten thousand more interesting things to do watch than this tape melting up like an ice-cream cone in Central Park. My personal favorites would be hot babes in bikinis at the beach, reruns of Star Trek – The New Generation reruns, any 3D movie in the theaters right now, or even paint drying on your deck – as long as you are in ample supply of German Hefeweizen even that can be fun.
All of the above provides a lot more thrill than watching the dreaded ‘summer tape’ – especially during the ‘summer of pain’, a wave scenario also known as the Soylent Sisters here at the Evil Lair. Of course if [...]
I am sure that many of you reading my posts have had their share of bearish frustration in the past year or so. It’s tough to be a bear – especially in bear markets. Now, I know this may sound a bit counter intuitive but think about it. In bull markets you actually get pretty orderly retracements.

Now it’s [...]
The summer of pain is upon us – although some of you still believe in miracles I personally don’t think that the bulls are going to let this juicy opportunity to torment the bears slip through their fingers.
Copper has long been and remains to be one of the most reliable litmus tests on the global economy. There even was a time pennies were made from it – of course after nearly 100 years of continuous fiat currency inflation courtesy of our friends at the Federal Reserve (over 90% loss in the Dollar’s buying power since the Fed’s inception in 1913) we simply can’t afford to use copper anymore. Heck, in the future they may use plastic [...]
