It’s up, it’s down, it’s up again. Oh, no, now it’s down. The stock market has become a yo-yo, and everyone is weighing in on what will happen next.
Yo-yos are simple toys with two components: a spool and a length of string attached to it. A novice can manage to use the string to make the spool go up and down. A true yoyoist can make it fly in all directions almost defying gravity. He or she knows what to do to make things happen.
If I were to belabor this analogy, I’d say our country is being run by novices who can’t do more than make the spool go up and down. I’m not picking on any one individual or party here; I’m picking on them all indiscriminately. And I’m going to hide under a rock for the foreseeable future.
