go buddy stretch us up and over 44,444.44 by sat morning.

Its bed 🛏 time for me.

But I thought 4 is the number of death, no?

Better pick $55,555.55. We are vaxxed, you know...

That's an interesting proposition, AlcoHoDL - to consider if this run might have a top that is closer to $44,444 or $55,555.

I hate to lock myself into any scenario that has not happened yet... but sure, there is a kind of need to break through in these lower to mid $40ks that seems likely to fuel more UPpity...

I mean, it's not like we have not been here before.. so $44,444 versus $55,555 seems to be a matter of when rather than "if"....

For me, I can see that there might be some uncertainties regarding if $44,444 is breakable.. and it is surely in a price location that seem to be on the cusp of clearing out most, if any, of the resistance that would exist between $44,444 and $55,555.. so I guess I am suggesting that they do not really seem to be too far apart from one another, yet I am not so brave as to attempt to describe that area as having a high potential for "no man's land"... unless we want to call it some miniature version.. "no babies land".. .but that is not really saying anything... I give up.

It's true though. 4 is supposed to be the number of death. The Chinese among us will confirm it (I'm not Chinese myself, but have Chinese friends who've told me so). Interestingly, you will notice that Asian products often skip "4" in a series of models. For example, in the digital camera market, there was the Canon PowerShot G1, G2, G3, then the G5. There was no G4... Is Canon's leadership superstitious? I don't think so, they're too smart to be, but some of their dumb customers may well be, hence the avoidance of "4". For the same reason, there is often no "Room 13" or "13th Floor" in hotels. It's the same reason why the politicians and military leaders always go to church in public, and strictly follow religious protocols, although they may actually be atheists. They just want to keep the flock happy.

If you ask me, the above mentality is totally stupid, and can even partly explain the anti-vax craze, but I won't go there. To each their own. Life goes on, science/technology advances, some adapt, survive and prosper, others get stuck in their old ways, wear their tin-foil hats and watch Fox News and Alex Jones. Come to think of it, it's a wonderful, self-adapting process, which ultimately promotes the survival of the fittest. There is no need for governments to force anything to anyone. I oppose compulsory vaccinations. Just allow everyone to freely decide what to do, and let the viruses themselves do the hard work.

$55k is better than $44k for sure. And it certainly is a matter of "when" rather than "if". And an UPpity is more likely too, from where we currently stand. And I can also agree that $44k and $55k could in fact be so close to each other that attaining one could quickly lead to the other and the next double digit in the sequence, until there is a need for a third digit, and, before we know it, the counter is reset to $111k. My antennae pick a triple-$k digit price in 2022, which would be awesome and could lead to some major priority shuffling among many of us.

"When", not "if". Those who get it will survive and prosper, those who don't will be left behind and stay poor until they die.
