Quote for the Day:

Capitalism, to be sure, has bequeathed us some inestimably precious goods along with these abominations. Without the middle classes Marx so deeply admired, we would lack a heritage of liberty, democracy, civil rights, feminism, republicanism, scientific progress and a good deal more, as well as a history of slumps, sweatshops, fascism, imperial wars and Mel Gibson.

1. Treading water all week

up one day, retreat the next. pump-n-dump financial press is having a field day. Some guru recommended a crypto ETF Yesterday and said it would go up 83,000 percent. I did the math. A $350 investment will be $300,000. That's Amazon and Apple level growth. Funny though the fund dropped 60 cents or so today.
