"those who believed in God and honored His word will be saved, while those that despised and rejected Him will face eternal damnation."

By our belief in God we are saved. Salvation is walking in God's presence and damnation is no more or less than daily existance outside of God's presence.

To believe that reward/punishment is something to be dealt with in the future is to deny the fact that we are eternal beings in the here and now.

With a new president and a renewed commitment to alternative energy this country can work miracles.

Remember what we did when challenged by "Sputnik"?

Just before things get too uncomfortable, technology will bring the solution. Probably in the form of Hydrogen...

(But it won't be Mr. Bush's "hydrogen producing cars".)

Thank you for giving your candid opinion of the Vietnam "war effort". Maybe those who still don't get it should rent Full Metal Jacket.

There's also a video version of McNamara's memoirs out.

Anyone who sees these DVD's should know how foolish it is to follow our government blindly.

2001 is the biggest "abberation".

Yes, but if you expand that chart out to a two year and smooth it out with a weekly view you'll find that that volume is pretty anemic comparatively speaking.

Momentum has all but dried up in the chart I posted.

I'm wondering if a bull run is the only way left for them to get folks back in the markets.

Significance of the DOW?

It's been trading in a narrow consolidation range all year. Isn't it possible that this is just the final push down before reversal? Chart doesn't look that bad...





Didn't the COMP do the same thing in a shorter time frame?

Anyone have TICK & TRIN for nasdaq?

My feed isn't working.

Ameritrade - it is a site problem this time, not DNS. I was able to re-log in a minute ago and there was no balance or trade info associated with my account.

Look, Butthead -

The whole Ameritrade system crashed later that day.

I am not being alarmist and it is not a problem local to my ISP.

So you just think that it's wild chance that those are the ONLY sites affected? Get real.

It's not a molehill to those who are loosing thousands of dollars because of it.

It's not a molehill if this sort of thing is not put to a stop. It could cause serious economic problems for the country.

I have a very experienced ISP that I have been with for 10 years.

I have assigned alternate DNS and am now functioning. Perhaps the terminology I have used is not exactly correct, but the entire ISP is blocked from just those two domains.

This is a serious issue, don't trivialize it.

BECAUSE IT HAPPENED -

My ISP is getting DNS error on two domains only. Ameritrade and Freetrade.

URGENT - anyone with ameritrade access problems

PM me immediately. Seems to be an IP blocking script going around. Have contacted SEC, need more victims to trace it.

URGENT - anyone having ameritrade access problems

Please PM me. I suspect IP blocking by hackers.

URGENT - AMERITRADE Access problems may be hacking

If you are having Ameritrade access problems today PM me.

Thanks.

I haven't figured out how to get back on SI - email me PaulaGem@yahoo.com

IP level block on Ameritrade DNS

Have verified this with my ISP, anyone having similar problems please contact me via PM

They carried my acount for several months below $5k

Computerized robbery -

My take on the COMP chart was that it was a lunchtime terroist attack against joe6pack.

I held, I was scared and pissed, but I held. I'm expecting that this was a whipsaw by the hedgies. Last blast before some serious covering.

Something REALLY STINKS here...

My strongest stocks got walked down this AM - like they KNEW they were going to run the stops on the COMP.

On top of that there is some sort of software problem at FREETRADE and if I sell something I can't buy it back. I'm sitting here PRAYING that they're going to run these things back up like they ran them down.

FREETRADE isn't answering my e-mails. The auto responder is indicating that it took them almost an hour to open an e-mail.

Thank God I didn't panic and sell at the low, but something is really wrong here with a system that is SO stacked against the individual investor.

This CAN'T be a coincidence that this is all happening at once and I can't be the only one with this problem.

Please PM me if you are having a similar problem.

There were also problems with my streamer and LII through Ameritrade yesterday. Data was totally out of synch and you couldn't figure out what was happening.

A friend said she had some of the same problems with alphatrade feed.

Why is it that these "technical" problems always seem to happen at pivitol times for the market?

Where's that *&%^# recommend button???

A truly inspiring post.

I have to re-run the program and update them manually (over 600 charts). I won't be able to update this, I just wanted to offer it as a study. I can't emphasize enough the importance of looking at multiple time frames when reading charts.

Scanning the charts -

http://www.spiritsites.com/stocks/Bottoms/picks_01.HTM

These are the charts I like the best and the stocks I might research further.

Anyone interested in a chart study for the group?

Here is one I did for another list of stocks.

http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=3972768

I get a lot of good ideas from this board but it is so active that I'm also sure I miss a lot of them.

If you are interested send me a private message and let me know. If you have any strong recommendations also give me these (state short,long, core holding, target price, any other info).

The studies take a bit of work so I won't do them unless there is an interest. They are semi-automated so they aren't as bad as they look.

Here is a chart study for your list:

I like to look at multiple time frames and this is an easy way to compare them.

NO WAY would I short IMM.

Per your own chart there is a bullish divergence on both MACD and RSI.

I have been trading this one to the long side and it is heavily manipulated. When it reverses there is no chance for shorts to cover without a loss.

If you know the fundamentals, the thing could launch on news.

I don't often post charts on IMM so I'm going to be lazy and just post a link to the weekly:


http://custom.marketwatch.com/custom/ameritrade2/html-intchart-rt.asp?osymb=fxgp&symb=imm&ti...

You will see it has a history of very rapid rises and is due for LT reversal.

I am planning to buy on the dip Monday, am currently out.

This is a worthwhile LT hold.

Hope I've saved someone some money :)

Zeev, I've been trading BLTI but decided to go for a long term hold on the basis of yesterday's CC.

I like the .01 dividend every two months, think it's a great way to smoke out the shorts.

Has anyone heard of another stock doing this sort of thing?

I think it shows creative management that cares about stockholder value.

LYNX - interesting action that I do not understand.

I believe this is an excellent buying opportunity on this stock but I am trying to decipher the action. Have posted speculation on LYNX yahoo board and would appreciate comment.

http://messages.yahoo.com/?action=q&board=lynx

The last Studebaker was produced in '66.

Thanks Zeev, I have a very real mistrust of the government and I was wondering if there was any merit to the arguments. As I said, I don't dismiss anything out of hand without looking into it further and I knew you'd understand the engineering stuff.

I do, however, believe that we are not getting the whole truth on this and many other matters. I believe the relationship between the Saudis and the Bushes is thicker and more complicated than we know. I also believe the average american seriously underestimates how far some of our elected leaders would go to protect their power.

I'm not so sure the site should be laughed off completely...

Yes, it is extremist, but I don't find it impossible to entertain the idea that covert ops DID implode the WTC. Aren't there accusations now coming to light that Roosevelt knew Pearl Harbor was in danger but let the attack happen so the US would be pulled into the war? Wouldn't this be another verse of the same song?

The one thing that really bothered me is the point about the collapse of the second building happening first and the limitation of the debris field.

I admit, I do not know enough about engineering to make a credible judgement here.

I also think it is important to realize that people from other countries are reading things like this and the recent incidents in Iraq give them more credibility.

Personally, I feel that I have to consider the possibility that some of the things on this site ARE true. Why? Because I know for a fact that the government does lie to us, there are those in power that would exploit the people of this country in any way they could. I also don't trust Bush Sr. - I can't see how anyone could be involved with the CIA that long and keep their basic moral instincts intact.

So at the risk of getting stoned, I am not willing to dismiss this site as a total hoax or pure B.S. The most convincing lies have a basis in truth, you know.....

I found this link on another board and really don't know enough to evaluate it properly. I would appreciate some objective comment, as its conclusion is very scary:

I am using quote tracker with Ameritrade feed. Data is incorect if a stock has not traded this AM.

Ameritrade feed - quite a few last trades are coming up incorrect.

cme.com also down? Something odd going on.

While chart scanning this week I had noticed that the MRK chart may be bottoming out and getting ready for a rebound. Your post will make me watch it closer, thanks.

I maintian the watch list automatically - load the "best & worst" daily,weekly and six week list of bios & drugs, chemicals, and gas stocks to a database. I generate HTML pages of their collective charts to scan and pick out the ones I think are most interesting over the weekend.

I then generate target charts that are prioritized and load them to QuoteTracker portfolios by dumping the lists to formatted files. It was the QuoteTracker listings that made it easy to pull off the list of "extreme asks". My etrade software lists block buys clearly and that's what gave me last Friday's list.

In the last six months I've picked some nice bounce plays this way so I believe the years of chart studying are finally starting to pay off.
