A wise man once said:

“always invert”

Carl Jacobi in the 19th century used it to solve difficult math problems by going through the ways not to solve them first to help find the way to solve them.

Planners use it in engineering, in fact most good planners in any field use it. Instead of finding the best plan, search for what could really hurt me. From thinking about things that would hinder the end goal a critical paths emerges. It also means should hiccups occur during a project or event at least some thought has been given to problems so they become less stressful.

I have not inverted enough, or perhaps inverted too much!

I have been hurting my paid subscribers by lifting my skirt too much with all the good stuff in order to attract attention.

This has been wrong! Because it hasn’t gotten me any further building an audience and it has hurt the people that put their faith/money to back me.

ALWAYS INVERT!

I cannot make it any simpler than this!

I feel like I am saying the same thing over and over again which is a good thing. I think.

It is all the same chart so I can use all the same data. In the last 1761 trading days SPY has been above “trend” i.e. in green or yellow 83% of days.

We could probably include orange as the distribution is very similar, but we need a transition point.

In 1761 trading days price has never moved directly from Green into Red/Black there is always an intermezzo hangout in Orange.
