Stocks were once again reaching for new highs today, shaking off all concerns.

The dollar finished a bit higher, as did gold and silver.

We watched the movie Joker last night. It is a very dark psychological study of a disordered mind spiraling out of control, and a very cleverly done origin story for the Batman series. There is virtually no comic relief.

It is also a dark social commentary on the course of public events in our age of arrogant inequality.

I understand that it is wildly profitably with a cost of 65 million and box office receipts over a billion. Joaquin Phoenix is a remarkably effective actor. I am informed that the movie has received a number of Academy Award nominations. 

There will be a Non-Farm Payrolls report tomorrow. Optimism is running high because of the low unemployment report and a strong ADP Payrolls Report.

This Fed-fueled bubble is going to end badly.

Have a pleasant evening.
