Hiding Bear Posted August 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I hope everyone will take the time this weekend to go through the one-year charts of major averages -- DJIA, DJTA, SPX, Nasdaq, NDX, SOX, RUT -- plus any others you follow. All of these are still up from 12 months ago ... but all peaked months ago and are clearly breaking down. The nearly across-the-board confirmation (all except DJUA, which continues to be propped by low rates) is pretty clear as far as TA goes. When the school of fish are all swimming the same direction, you want to swim with them. A school of fish passes by some submerged MF managers following their fund downwards. The fundies are trying to come with an explanation why they are not only down this year, but have underperformed the market too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypertiger Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 a whole weekend of speculation on what the speculative markets are going to do... Long term they will completely vaporize and cease to exist...Then I guess some other scam to avoid working for a living will have to be dreamed up... Video cards suffering? Why? I'll tell you... Processor speeds have not kept up... the doubling has stopped dead, Processors are bottlenecks for the latest cards on the market...and once you average 50 Frames per second in 3D video games whats the point of spending $500 to $1000 upgrading to get 20 or 30 more? The Games coming out also have to be designed for a broad base...minimum system requirements are still at year 2000 levels...The Minimum to run Windows XP is 128 megs of RAM and a 233 MHz processor, Most vedio Games are 1 Ghz and a DirectX 7-8 64 Meg video card... The Most popular online deathmatch 3D first person shooter is Halflife- Counterstrike a pre 2000 game that can be run on 1998-1999 equipment... All this equipment can be obtained from bargin bins... There is no real reason for everyone to own top of the line state of the art equipment when pre year 2000 equipment is easily powerful enough to waste an equal amount of time... I've seen demos of the newest video game technology, it is like being inside of a better than Toy story real time generated movie...But systems cost $3000+ and the programs themselves take years to construct...for a few 100 hours of entertainment... Doom was created by a team of kids in a few months and released as shareware...Doom 3 has taken years and millions of dollars to bring to market with a massive team including the now grown up kids lawyers PR firms and the whole shebang...and it barely functions on early 2004 equipment... Most of the computers needed to play these games don't come off the shelf...They have to be custom made and tweaked...A standard desktop? You don't repair them...you throw them in the trash can... Maximum potential is being reached...Even if processor speeds were to begin to double again it takes too long to produce bloatware to take advantage of it... Tell me why you need or any human needs 3 GHz of processor power...a top of the line desk top system now out classes the mainframes used to run the planet... We are approaching game over rapidly now.

lucy Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I've got a good friend who is German and whenever we go to the beach she takes the "Big W"(Warstiener) with her.

Guest yobob1 Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Cokenose and Kermit on Crapvision should be quite a show tonight. Today the bond's displayed their "safety" status a little. Once more with vigor, I'll say Al doesn't dare raise rates and will be in the unfortunate position of lowering them after the first of the year. While Hyper's time frame closed out a tad earlier mine is still in play till the early stages of Q1 05. Any stock market "mishaps" will speed the process, but the real lone hold-out for now is still construction. Early in the year I said that sales would weaken by the edge of Summer, which they have, and that will be followed shortly by a reversing jobs market, which according to the feeble lie they came out with today, that is already occuring. I think the next 60 days will show us the beginning of the breakdown in new construction. That will be the final card to play. From there it will be only a short matter of time before the sheeple reach the POR. The election is only going to add to the general anxiety level. Personally I'm still voting for the surprise comet strike on DC, that would end the true source of most of the world's terrorists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
