No, not by a long shot. The feces won't really hit the Westinghouse for 3-4 weeks yet, according to the proven reliable Shemitah indicators.

> Corruption for all of the world to see.
With the NWO in place nothing you see globally marketwise will be probably be accurate; only the illusion they want you to see. I agree there’s a lot of corruption and market manipulation wouldn’t be hard to do if you are the one pulling the levers.

Keynesian Economics is showing the failure it is. It is showing that it is impossible to spend oneself to prosperity.

BTW....I'm not sure anyone said anything about this...commment.
"Something went awry with XL Group Plcs stock just after 9:30 a.m. About 20 seconds after the market opened, the US$11 billion corporations shares changed hands for US$34.84. A second later, it plunged to US$3.66 in a single trade, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. A total of about 122 trades priced below US$6 executed in the next three minutes before the stock jumped back up to above US$35...."
Something real fishy going on there...I figured maybe the volume was anemic..but it's not.
Someone will be investigated on that deal....

I read it, three times now. I think what we have here is life imitating art.
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010)
Gordon Gekko: Someone reminded me I once said "Greed is good". Now it seems it's legal. Because everyone is drinking the same Kool Aid.
And from your perspective you either can't or won't see it.

Geesh....I went back and read what I said..at the beginning.
Sometimes I make mistakes....HA!! I meant to say a 500 point drop in 1985 was huge...percentage wise. But a 500 point drop nowadays...isn't that big of a percentage.
The other part of my post...sure ain't bullish.
You think..I will be banished to the wood shed?

No not up to me. As I posted elsewhere:
I hold myself to Ezekiel 33:6
But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, that person is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchmans hand.
I can only give a warning it is up to the individual to choose rather or not to heed it. But let us say I am wrong the warning has the warn harmed anyone? But if you are wrong what is the damged of your reassurence to people that all is well? What is the result then? And are you willing to bear it?

"According to several FReepers it was a just a normal day on the exchange, hardly any thing to it and certainly nothing worth worrying about." I have no idea why you included me in that. I never said anything like it.

Did you read what I've said....
Are you being obtuse?
Do you know what shorting is?
Do you understand anything I actually pointed out...besides my blunder in points versus percentage's?
I'm done with you.......
