Guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Wall Street, Spirits Soaring NEW YORK, Oct. 21 - Leading economic indicators of the day, such as the number of raccoon-skin coats in the process of being paid off on "easy credit" and the highly inflated value of major common stocks being over-sold on margin, point to one thing, say experts: prosperity for the U.S.A. Average Americans are getting rich from buying stocks with money they don't even have . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sphinxter Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Don't forget - today should see the arrival of a really big solar event. In what promises to be the largest geo-magnetic storm since 1844 when telegraph lines arced and set fires around the world, at 3 PM this afternoon, noon on the West Coast, the sun will deliver a coronal mass ejection to earth. Such storms are from G.1 to G.5 with G.5 being horribly strong. Today's arrival, depending on who you listen to, will be a G.3 or G.4. http://www.spaceweather.com/ Here's what we might expect in a nutshell: Solar wind could exceed all recent peaks Large Borealis could be visible to at least the middle of the Midwest tonight Odd propagation for radios Then there are the "wild cards" We might get power outages because of lines overloading We could see earthquakes triggered because of the electrical nature of the earth's crust being hit with a charge Long distance pipelines could arc, and who knows if they will all hold? Or, we may see nothing at all. Except, of course, the markets tanking - as they seem to have a relationship to violent solar activity - down when the geomagnetic fields are hit. Around here, in keeping with Urban Survival's "it doesn't cost anything extra to run on a full tank" philosophy, we will have both cars topped off by noon...just in case of power outages. Worst case might be something like big power outages and a 300 point market drop At the least, I am going out tonight to look for Aurora Borealis. Happy trading today.

machinehead Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Naz got whacked harder than SPX yesterday, and it's happening again this morning. Let's face it, without that fantastic 50% Naz gain in the past 8 months, nobody would give a damn about the stock market. If this limp-ass action keeps up, the jaded and easily-bored hot money will move on to some other bubble. To something safe, like real estate. /joke ... please don't flame me/ Yes, the 27-year-old fund mismanagers are giving a hard rethink to a career in property flipping. Otherwise the filet mignon and lobster tail dinners, and the weekend drive to East Hampton in the Ferrari, may give way to claustrophobic evenings in the rabbit-hutch Manhattan apartment, munching on Naz-aroni ("the AMAT/Cisco treat") with powdered cheese.

BeerMarket Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 ...the sun will deliver a coronal mass ejection to earth... is that anything like a repo blast? Maybe this is where that ejection is going: Gold! Watching for any weakness in the miners to take some profits but will continue to hold some.

Guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Bearbones, Thats why I posted it, as the container business is in direct corrolation with the manufacturing industry. The price of paper & cardboard has always been a good indicator on the economies health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
