Classic Market Metaphor, from T. K. Marks
The suddenly Carmelo Knicks rise to the spotlight occasion tonight and actually beat LeBron, Wade, Bosh, et al., down there in Miami, dramatically raising future expectations.
Only to have those momentarily lofty expectations ultimately meet a foreverly futile fate.
In charting terms, a basketball apotheosis of the big-time false breakout (i.e., $50 silver, 30-some years ago.)
