The stock market slid down 0.83% today (4,054.18 pts) from yesterdays performance. All indicators still point towards the imminent bearish trend I was talking about last week.Despite this, the winners continues to parade against the losers at 83 - 76. 
There maybe a bear in the bushes, but there still a chance that the market can still climb (sputtering) until this week's end.

La verdad en la vida


Pierced through your thoughts your humanity lingers.
Through shattered memories, you try to make sense of it all.
Sometimes, light is permitted through the gray scale figments,
with the sublime sense of false respite settling on your head.



The winds of change blows from where the furnace screams,
a hard life, is never a choice, it's the only option you have.
