Tanks Al,

Google, of course. I wasn't thinking. Nonetheless,

A CME official said the outage was caused by problems with global network switches that route data from trading firms to Globex platform.

I was hoping for a better hustle than that. I guess that's all they feel they need to give.

Madame and I were discussing over the W/E how we may be on the verge of a kind of global sea change.

 

 

Sounds like it could have been written today:

 

 

...During one hundred and fifty years we have built up a form of self-government and a social system which is peculiarly our own. It differs essentially from all others in the world. It is the American system. It is just as definite and positive a political and social system as has ever been developed on earth. It is founded upon a particular conception of self-government in which decentralized local responsibility is the very base... It is founded upon the conception that only through ordered liberty, freedom, and equal opportunity to the individual will his initiative and enterprise spur on the march of progress. And in our insistence upon equality of opportunity has our system advanced beyond all the world.

 

During the War we necessarily turned to the government to solve every difficult economic problem. The government having absorbed every energy of our people for war, there was no other solution. For the preservation of the state the Federal Government became a centralized despotism which undertook unprecedented responsibilities, assumed autocratic powers, and took over the business of citizens. To a large degree we regimented our whole people temporarily into a socialistic state. However justified in time of war, if continued in peace-time it would destroy not only our American system, but with it our progress and freedom...

 

Herbert Hoover, campaigning for President, preaches the benefits of "rugged individualism" and announces the near "abolition of poverty," New York, NY, October 22, 1928.

 

Ain't history grand?

Are all the stoolies in the picture now?

 

no, thats the joe-6-pack family reunion. they are just beginning the lemming race to the ocean! :P

LOLOL :D :D

 

What a slew of responses in record time. Guess that says something about our collective pseudo-psycho-social-emotional-what have you condition at 11pm on this fine Sunday night, awaiting ......

 

By the way, the number of posts on this weekend's M2M must be a record, no?

YIKES!!!!

 

Heretics!!! :P :P :P :D :D :D

 

w re to book Practical Speculation

 

There's just one little fly in the soup: 99% of the other news outlets are completely ignoring it. You see, we wrote some rather critical things about the financial media. What's more, we upset both value and technical analysis partisans by testing and debunking their most cherished myths and heroes. We carefully documented all of our conclusions--but that hasn't stopped us from being dismissed!

"Not only are execs not buying company stock, they dumping the shit as fast as they can! Billy Boy alone unleashed 20M in the past two weeks! Same goes for Mike Dell who dumped MORE THAN 20M shares since the rally started on 3/12. Do you think they they are selling in anticipation for higher prices? "

 

 

 

I don't think he or Michael Dell are bearish on their stocks. It's not in their makeup.  But everyone needs money. For example, Bill has to keep raising cash for his wife's Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. "Oh honey, there's this wonderful new cause. Can I have, say $500 million?"

ChiBear, The point here is not whether these insiders are "bullish" or "bearish" on their stocks or whether they are selling to raise cash for a good cause, I am all for that. :D The point here outside of MSFT and DELL is that all throughout the BEAR, insider selling as a whole swoons the hardest in the last month of a BMR top.

 

This information is presented in Thomson's financial data and validates yet another historical month of insider selling. It just so happens to be coincidental I suppose that both Bill and Mike have been selling shares when they are caught in seperate cycles of strength.

 

BTW, Zoran has posted his corrected SPX analysis:

 

http://www.safehaven.com/Editorials/gayer/...050403gayer.pdf

 

Looks to me like he is split in either direction. Either we move up tommorrow to retest 12/2 highs or the index immidiately moves lower from the open and yet another call for the top on Friday at SPX 930. I am prepared in either case. B)

Funny line:

 

"It is not likely that there are many shorts left to plunder. Thus, we may have a total bullish camp except for some odd bear traders."

 

That is us - "some odd bear traders". :P

Possibly. There has been some incredible stuff put out on M2M this weekend. Thank you to all but, for me Madame, the one thing to keep in mind from the weakend M2M for me going into Monday are those 4 charts you posted on Friday. Those charts are the long and the short of it (no pun intended).

Great posts everyone!

-TCH I enjoyed the link to Bill F.

Most of the people I talk to are very bullish consistent with the quote below....

From todays Columbus Dispatch

Ron Carter, Asst. Bus. editor " When you catch a good wave, theres only one thing to do- ride it until there is nothing left. The same could be said for a market that is getting a boost from the end of the war in Iraq, a drop in gasoline prices and other good news. There 's no reason to feel negative in such a climate. Prediction: Dow up 193 points for the week."

 

I wonder what he means by "other good news" Nice contrarian signal though!

 

-I have my parachute on... I think we are headed down.

? ? ? Because if the Physician had said" If you continue to smoke like you have,you lucky statistically anomolous sonofa bit*h,you will wind up with coughing fits so powerful that ?your upchucking product will have lung flecked red and green sputum that will be the begginning of a fatal course of events, terminating in you becoming a pile of verminous crap about which ,a circle of your beloved ?relatives ,will stand and watch, each one of whom will have a clothes pin attached to his nose

?

? ? ? You like the prognosis???Idiot --now get out of my office I want healthy patients those that art interested in confirming my belief that modern medicine does have some efficacity :ph34r: ?:( ?:) bdrech

? ? ? ? This might have an effect on world health eqivalent to modern sewer systems

Excellent provocation......

 

The way I deal with many smokers in my clinical practice is via reverse psychology. I gave up with the 'stop smoking' deal......it doesn't work.....but has to be legally documented.

 

These people are dedicated and committed. They are "Fearless Smokers".....as I try to convince them.

 

"Further, Mr. Patient, why not just consider guilt-free enjoyment of tobacco?. If you know you can't quit, there is no point in further damaging your health with negative emotions about it!"

 

"Do more of the same"

 

"Surely it's enough punishment to have 11 minutes subtracted off your life for every cigarette you smoke."

 

My book on the use of 'Provocative Therapy' will be released next year.

 

There is probably some trading advice here :P

By and large, I don't even bother dealing with smokers. If you smoke, you aren't even going to be able to get into the office to see me for elective surgery. Waiting list is too long to put up with someone who has, in some cases depending on the type of surgery indicated, a doubling of the major complication rate. If you do quit, great. All you have to do is have a urine nicotine test immediately prior to surgery. If you pass, great. If you don't, see ya.

 

Exception to the above is cancer patients. They have enough problems without me hounding them to stop smoking. I don't even bother. I mention it once and that's it.

:cry: :cry: somehow somewhere somebody is going to have to step up to the plate and legislate the necessity for making patients and physicians write pre-nuptial agreements:

If you do this once more you will get a size 12 up your keister--if you do that no more of this for you--hey you diabetic fatso number 1;if another lil debbie goes down your gullet into that metabolic inferno of yours one more time im getting aprofessional divorce--

And you,yeh you Cocaine dumbo,one more spasmodic life-threatening episode involving a quarter of a million tax dollars worth of effort and you get thrown on the dung heap of history

Ill never forget an incident,in my neighborhood shopping center;a multiple shooting occured moments before i arrived[one schmuk was lieing on the median strip,a bullet in his leg,groaning;a 1oo ft away i see a crowd around another prostrated citizen,crowd mumbling drug shootout ,chest wound,as i approached-- and there like a male maddona and child,the wounded mans friend crying out ,When are they going to come?

When ? When ? and from a mouth of one of,according to nabors,one of the filthiest anti-social shitheads in all of creation--a hater and despiser of all remnants of civil socciety except when it applies to him and his pals in a jam--then they cry to high heaven for angels of mercy to come and save them from pain and death--

And then red trucks and oxygen tanks and years of treaining and bandages and decent sentiments about being allright and we'll take care of you arrive,

I suppose somewhere in the hearts of the wounded pushers a faint scintilla of respect for society is instilled at what price? I.d estimate it as being about a qyarter of a million dollars an ounce--

:ph34r: :( bdrech

You know DBS being the devils advocate is ok but don't reject out of hand what you don't understand-Astrology is a useful tool at SOME turning points,yes it can invert but in the crunch times of the market it has been usually accurate. Now you tend to pooh , pooh most t/a-which again is ok-but anytime you want to compare returns with END or Piles or myself let us know! Trade Safe!

Sorry, but any profits you've earned trading, either real or imaginary, are not attributable to the motion of the planets in our solar system.

The following link is a classic funny and should be added to the capitalstool's turd hall of fame. Can one of the moderators download this and ask Doc to add it to the site somewhere. The link only allows downloading 5 meg every 3 hours, so apologies go out to the stoolies that can't listen to it immediately. Turn up your speakers to max on this one... :lol: :lol:
