		<description><![CDATA[1. Wow it sucks if you&#8217;re a bear. I&#8217;m glad I&#8217;m not trading.

The S&#38;P 500 is now comfortably above the bear market trendline. If you&#8217;re a bear, the only thing you can hang your hat on at this point is a double top possibility but I wouldn&#8217;t count on that since that would be way [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slightly misleading, don&#8217;t you think?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw this ad last week.

Uh huh. Sure they are.
Electronic controls can be fail-safe under laboratory conditions, but if you can&#8217;t explain unintended acceleration in real-world scenarios, then you haven&#8217;t proved jack.

		<title>I now have a ton of respect for event organizers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People who organize events sometimes make it look easy and many times their work is under-appreciated. I am definitely guilty of under-appreciating event organizers in the past, but after organizing a ski trip that happened today I now have a ton of respect for event organizers. I will also say that I definitely will not [...]]]></description>

		<title>13 years ago</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just found an obscure paper written 13 years ago on stuff I was working on the last 8 months.
Wow, they beat me to it by 13 years.
UPDATE: I talked to my advisor about it. His general attitude is that it raises the bar of what I need to do. On top of that there&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dumb moment of the day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am a TA for a circuits class and students need to come by my office one at a time for a 30 minute design review for their project. The design review is to make sure they are not doing anything stupid.
Student: I don&#8217;t know the value for mu*Cox.
Me: Did you look at the design [...]]]></description>

		<title>S&amp;P 500 pokes back over the 50 MA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m so glad I&#8217;m not screwing around in this market.

Up over the 50 MA, the presumption is that the market is going to go after the bear market trendline again.
This market just doesn&#8217;t want to die, does it? Bah.

		<title>No, that&#8217;s not a green onion&#8230;it&#8217;s a sprouting onion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I saw this in my kitchen today and I thought it was a green onion. And then I thought, no that does not look right. That ain&#8217;t a green onion! That&#8217;s a sprouting onion!

		<title>Who&#8217;s your banker? &#8211; The unified view of money</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you read my blog, you know I hate bankers because the bankers of this world are truly the ones who are in power.
Give me control of a nation&#8217;s money supply, and I care not who makes its laws.
-Mayer Amschel Rothschild
If you haven&#8217;t noticed already, a small number of bankers not only control the money [...]]]></description>

		<title>I just blew up on a Democratic fundraiser, and it felt good</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I gave Democrats $25 6 years ago and since then they&#8217;ve been hunting me down for money. When they call and ask for money, I typically politely decline. However, this time I let the poor guy who called me really have it.
DCCC: Hello, I am looking for [my name].
Me: Yup, that&#8217;s me.
DCCC: Hi, this is [...]]]></description>

		<title>USD goes flying</title>
		<description><![CDATA[5 min chart

Daily

81 was supposedly the last area of significant resistance. We also have a 50 MA/200 MA cross on deck if that means anything to you. I&#8217;ll be buying more Treasuries tomorrow. I&#8217;d gladly take 3.8% for 10 years.
The move supposedly came on this news release.
