Tina died in 2025…

Speaking of tops, on January 12, we posted an eerie chart of CSCO against the last remaining generals left in the markets using SMH as the proxy (we urge you to re-read here). Let’s revisit:  “In summary, we’re bears. Now raging Kodiak Bears… We were just starting out in this business when we realized that…
