not my blog –

From college I have become involved with people like myself - in this case literature.

In Tent our topics are - well you know.

For now the literature part (aside from Ayn Rand - another whole long typing) - Shirley Hazzard - read that and then post.

I think you are well taken care of, ipso_facto…but appreciate the reminder :)

Have had some great notes from Tenters today in the ordering of books, but Ipso takes the cake. Hahahahahahaaaa……

Okay, gang - this is IT. Down to one book. One book only. The $20 pus free shipping deal expires in less than 3 1/2 hours (Denver time). Any last takers?

www.thehandbookforprosperity.com Just click on “Visit the Shop” and you’ll get the last special deal on the book.

THE SHALLOWEST GENERATION

A friend just sent me the article linked below.  My friend commented that he found himself agreeing with most of what was written.  I’m in the process of responding, basically saying it appears the guy’s a mouthpiece for the status quo, trying to make Boomers feel guilty instead of waking up and revolting against the Fed et al.  Boomers are mostly guilty of being stupid, but it’s not too late to change.  I’m interested to know what any Tenters think about it.

THE SHALLOWEST GENERATION

The Baby Boom Generation will never be mistaken for the Greatest Generation that survived the Great Depression and defeated evil in a World War that killed 72 million people. I hate to tell you Boomers, but putting a yellow ribbon on the back of your $50,000 SUV is not sacrifice. Our claim to fame is living way beyond our means for the last three decades, to the point where we have virtually bankrupted our capitalist system. Baby Boomers have been occupying the White House for the last sixteen years. The majority of Congress is Baby Boomers. The CEOs and top executives of Wall Street firms are Baby Boomers. The media is dominated by Baby Boom executives and on-air stars. We have no one to blame but ourselves for the current predicament. Blaming Franklin Roosevelt or Lyndon Johnson for our dire situation is a cop out. Baby Boomers had the time, power, and ability to change our course. We have chosen to leave the heavy lifting to future generations in order to live the good life today.

PS  there are a lot of good stats in the article.

Cyclist uses Gann very effectively but… he won’t explain it either. You may want to observe his work and try to understand how to use this technique based on what you already know??

 Just make sure you share it with me when you get it figured out!

Shuuuush they might be watching you. How are the unemployment numbers gonna read? Hum let me guess. But remember Feds gonna make a decision after that about interest rates suppose they could leave it alone but unlikely to raise it and Opec is sitting on their hands right now I dont think their gonna take much more of a drop and will have to go into some trading range sometime. Some news expected shorty after. Guess well have to wait and see. The stocks filling gaps but most holding lines so far and some hit their first target.

to know what may happen is a lot - so no.

“I cannot summarize as he has to my mind changed positions several times.”

If that’s the case then knowing his views doesn’t sound like much help.  I’ll do some digging.

I cannot summarize as he has to my mind changed positions several times.

Listen to the links - I think the cycle idea is right just not as cut and dried as he would present.

actually this is the same with Armstrong - good ideas but you have to put them into your own trading plan

I am imposing myself - but our daughter now has a cat - Simone. (And I like Simone).

Simone comes here and Simone is cool with Barney but Barney just barks at Simone. and will not accept.

Solutions?

I must confess to some ignorance concerning Nenner.  I can only plead that my connection isn’t fast enough to play the video earlier today.  How bout a summarization of his main points-important low and high dates?

Goldielocks

 Does that mean we’ll have to take another beating on Friday when the employment numbers come out?

I agree with Nenner on this - headlines are irrelevant.

cycles are in stone.

Almost like a poker game.  What are the opposing forces holding in their hands?  How far will the US gov go to support the Cabal.  How much coin-melt gold is available?  Is Russia or the Arabs in the market?

Beyond that it’s a great arbitrage opportunity.
