I miss the old days when it was all court cases and all politicians were bastards. Sweeney did legal work for the intelligence services and is meticulous. She's slow. No one has any idea of the timing of En Banc either, contrary to all kinds of weird statistical analyses that are being posted on message boards. Please just get on with discussing the facts of the court cases, laws, and political power games. Small example: does anyone know more about why Gasparino is now the spokesman for insiders in the administration? And why he posts both positive and negative news? Never seen that before. It's curious. He engaged with John Carney and Joe Light for a while, then went out of step with them.
All TA does for me is analyze buying and selling behavior. If you want to connect political/press-related/financial events to it after the fact, and hold a victory lap because you think you had an insight, power to you. But I suspect it simply doesn't help others much because it can only inform them of buying and selling behavior. Go and trade. I'm pretty sure LittleDevil always debated with my nickname on his face.
We're all betting on TINA, that the only satisfaction for all stakeholders seems to be a utility model (taking into account the guarantee, optics as well as finance), the fact that the political game can set things into motion, and the fact that we have a contract with the US government that was grossly violated. Maybe we can all trade a bit when we know news is not substantial but does cause price movements. That seems to be about it.
I stand ready to be corrected and to be informed of more than I know.
