Still Going
The Curiosity rover on Mars is still going and making new discoveries well past its expiration date. It is a technological and PR triumph for NASA and the engineers who built it. The US might be on the way down in some areas but not in space exploration.

Ready To Bolt
Stock markets are reaching new highs but investors are ready to bolt at the least sign of an economic downturn. They are nervous and that is for the better. Complacent trading gets slammed when markets suddenly plunge. There is no way to tell what huge trading programs will do in fractions of a second. Markets are not for small traders, especially when sentiment is dictated by machines. That is why it makes no sense that public sentiment is tied to indexes.
