I hope you didn’t take any positions in front of today (FOMC day) as it’s very common to see wild swings up and down to shake out both bulls and bears.

Also, i’ve heard China’s been buying up all the gold to go to some gold standard… Makes me wonder if its worthwhile loading up on some remimbi/yuan as well

There will be some time in the morning… “The Fed’s two-day meeting kicked off Tuesday, with an announcement due Wednesday afternoon.”

The perigree moon was Sunday so it explains all the frenetic activity over the weekend.   Also might not need to worry about the “pull” of the full moon on August 2.

Crude oil with a nice TD bear flip.   It will be hard for them to launch the SP without crude participating.   $xoi was looking very extended yesterday and the Dow should have been hit harder with crude’s drop.

A certain little indicator dropped below the O line today most likely invalidating the buy spike generated by last week’s rally.

6-4 to 7-30 rally almost the identical fractal to the 10-4-10-30 rally last year.

Modine’s next role is in the Apple/ Steve Jobs bio-pic  JOBS where he plays ex Apple CEO John Scully.

There is an Apple reference in the new Dark Knight Rises movie when Anne Hathaway’s character takes a bite from an Apple and then throws it away….an obvious Adam and Eve reference.

Matthew Modine appears in the new Batman movie as under police commissioner  Foley:

He doesn’t seem to do much lately but he is well known for all of his youthful role’s in the 80s and in hindsight especially for his role as private JOKER in 1987’s Full Metal Jacket.    He’s looking older these days but back then he was more known for his work in Vision Quest and Married to the Mob than Full Metal but his role in it as well as the movie have endured.

(Warning! Warning! Extreme language especially after Joker leaves the scene at the 1:52mark)

The other guy next to him, COWBOY, recently played Red Sox owner John Henry in Moneyball if that means anything.     The drill seargent, R. Lee Ermey is in commercials/ reality TV everywhere today and even has a new role in the recently released movie The Watch (released July 27).   He has definitely become a 1987 icon.

Once again the enlightened ones are playing games and telling us that the onset of the grand ritual is about to begin bringing back icons from 1987.   And once again it is obvious that Full Metal Jacket was pulling double duty for that year’s lesser grand ritual as well as this year’s ultimate grand ritual.

According to the article above, Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan wanted him for the movie and offered him in the end a larger part as the deputy commissioner rather than a smaller original role.   Someone should tell him it was the JOKER ritual/ play on characters/ pun that got him the role and not his acting talents.

According to early reports, Modine’s character was named Nixon.   In the end, it was Foley but it is interesting that the anniversary of Richard Nixon’s resignation(38 year anniv.) is fast approaching and the term “this watergate” appears in the BB’s “Sabotage”.

That Full Metal Jacket clip like most of the movie is heavy R rated so definitely not appropriate for those offended by foul language.
