THE MARKET DROPS.
The market drops
Who sold?
Institutions, money managers, funds
That sell high –
As close to highs as they can –
In the anticipation of buying back later
At a cheaper price.
This creates a prognosis
For the next 6 months – 3 years
Beyond that is “anyone’s guess” –
They say again and again.
The press circulates these predictions
A momentum of selling and fear.
Market goes down
While managers accumulate cash.
Waiting to pounce
When the capitulation due to “losses” occurs,
Which are only realized when sold.
Treasury keeps printing trillions of dollars.
So the share price
Of the top 500 corporations rises –
They are not easily replaced –
But dollars and euros are.
Outside, the air is clear
No worries out here
Sounds of the seashore
Ripples of time cascade
The sun tilts our shadows
As we seek a place to observe
The grand scope and color
That earth gives us
Outside markets
