A market where I have a very strong sense of which way I *want* prices to move is one where I should close my brokerage accounts and head for the beach.

It is a terrible, terrible club anthem. But it’s awfully catchy.
Has anyone any suggestions for muting "Narf Lahndahn 4 Eva" when it's your spouse who won't stop singing it? (Hoping for suggestions less lethal than a le creuset frying pan to the head)
