“Psychopaths [and sociopaths] have a grandiose self-structure which demands a scornful and detached devaluation of others, in order to ward off their envy toward the good perceived in other people.”
Robert D. Hare, Without Conscience
‘The sense of responsibility in the financial community for the community as a whole is not small. It is nearly nil.’
John Kenneth Galbraith, The Great Crash of 1929
‘In a nation run by swine, all the pigs are upwardly mobile, and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely.’
Hunter S. Thompson
“And where they make a desert, they call it peace.”
Tacitus, Agricola
Donald and His Merry Pranksters were rolling out the greatest tax cut in history today.
It was interesting to watch the stock and precious metals futures fluctuate, as Messrs Cohn and Mnuchin were speaking. I did have a chance to do that today, since the daily hospital visits are in the morning, and I seem to be getting caught up with the household chores as the queen finds herself increasingly fatigued. Alas, the mispricing in these markets was so apparent that I could not resist making a few trades during the ebb and flow of expectations and short term trends that reversed somewhat sharply into the close. Even an old dog can hear the call to the chase now and again.
