Surf, seriously dude- just look at the chart. <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2573443> A two second glance is all it takes.

"i am an empirical deist and spiritual materialist who leans toward an anarchocapitalistic ideal." But are you not a serial market loser? and do you have a valid non-fraudulent reason for giving an opinion here?
