When reading about the markets and in general, finance stuff (which I do and enjoy actually), there are times that I feel as if we have just entangled ourselves in the most epic, largest and most complex system of epicycles on epicycles that we have ever seen. I know this is very simplistic, and in the end there is probably some reason below all of this... but sometimes, it just doesn't look like it.
