It’s Shocking Because It’s Normal

Today BAS was up 4.5%. I’d normally be elated by this kind of action, but I am not.

Because last Wednesday BAS was 20% lower. And the week before that BAS was where it is today. And the week before that BAS was 20% lower.

In fact I’d say generally speaking that watching a stock ratchet between $5 and $8 is a generally tempestuous experience that does things to mans sanity. Dark things. Quiet things.

Dark, quiet things.

I want those dark things to be done to oil short sellers now. He says to himself, slowly rocking in his 9th floor prison.
