Forget Techincal and Fundmental Analysis Part Uno

Every trader looks at charts and reads economic data to see where the market is going to go. But lets really look under the hood of America and look at the current culture of America and maybe this can give us an indication of where the market is heading.

First, lets take a look at the TV. It's America favorite past time, sitting on our ass watching TV. So this should give us a good buy or sell indicator.

Sadly, I watched what was on the "boob tube". And it gave me a strong sell signal, not because the shows were bad. But because somewhere in a focus group, my generation and younger, are telling douche bags with suits that they would watch these shows.

Tool Academy- This show made me almost give up on life.
Bromance(My spell check wanted to kill itself after I had to hit ignore)- A great a show for your buddy that calls and just wants to talk. We know your gay just say it
Hole in the Wall- No its not a show about a glory hole, its 3 idiots trying to fit through a Hole in the Wall.
The City- This show be a lot better if Whitney's apartment was in East New York. I'd watch this show then.
*NOTE- To all the girls who think they are going to be in high fashion and live like Whitney. PLEASE STOP COMING TO NY! It's not going to happen and Starbucks isn't hiring anymore so you won't have a job.
Deal or No Deal- PLEASE! Learn Risk/Reward.
Vh1- This includes any show that involves complete idiots that are trying at a chance to get herpes from another complete idiot or trying to win money verses other complete idiots.
Life on Mars- Oh, a rip off of Quantum Leap but you stay in the same year. Very Creative.
Real Housewives of Orange County, NY and Atlanta- Enough! The whole COUGAR fade is gone after younger dudes realized, a 21 year old is still a lot better then a 45 year old "with experience". Gravity always wins ladies

If you really want to get a good laugh, watch "On the Money". This is my favorite show. This is one of the best improv shows ever. They have these actors call up, and talk to the host and just make up these ridiculous predicaments that they got themselves into, people with thousands of dollars in debt and who were living way beyond their means, and now they need help. Oh wait that show is real, and the people are that dumb.

So clearly America still has a long way to go. So I am still bearish, till either I stop seeing reality shows or there is a show based on the Mad Max Beyond the Thunder Dome concept of 2 men enter 1 man leaves.
