Bears...


My Financial Manager has been hiding out throughout much of the crisis.  I've not spoken to him since sometime in November.  An email has arrived today requesting we make an appointment to chat.  As he is in another time zone, and, I am fairly hard to reach via telephone, this makes sense.  It is, however, a bit more formal than our usual relationship.  So, does he have something important to say?  I tremble at the thought he might be leaving his position.  Perhaps though, he is feeling bullish and green-shootish enough to take on skeptical Missmc.  He is a notorious contrarian so I am incredibly confused as to what to expect conversation wise.  Silence seemed to be his winter strategy.  

Above is a little chart by Doug Short that tracks bear markets upon one another, adjusted for inflation.  He has a fine website that experiments with the art of chart-o-logy worth a view every now and then.  These kinds of charts are a bit like horoscopes and can be presented and read in a variety of ways.  If the colour were shifted a bit, it would be a fine pattern for a Missoni...
