First, loose the "Sir"...makes me feel as old as I am...

SPX/US$ -- SPX behaving as per charts & E-Wave...US$ not ready...stocs suggesting a couple of weeks yet.

BW...just saw your post re: SPX/US$...

Quick thought is that short term, SPX may be turning to the upside w/the end of the diagonal - bounced off 1034 today which may have ended the most recent down move. W/2 white candles, the move to the upside looks a better bet. And, could be fairly strong. A near term move over 1054ish is key. The chart from a wave perspective is a mess. Loosing the 50dma after 4 months tempers my enthusiasm.

US$ - Pierced the 50dma & VTL from a ways back but couldn't hold...RSI (in the power zone) and MACD suggest a break to the upside is coming.

Just very much my humble opinion and probably worth what you paid for it...

e pluribus unum
A

US$ 50DMA bump

My Elliot Wave eyes see a textbook impulse of 5 waves down and the beginning corrective move up. I see we are in an upward 3 wave move that corrects the 5 waves down...a "b" of "abc"...and may have already entered "c"...

If it plays out, it should move back over the 50dma before the next major (impulse) move.

This is a "back of the envelope" view, purely done on a visual...haven't done the math, but is is a beautifully pure representation of 5 waves down w/the upward correction (of 3 waves) in progress...time will tell.

If time allows, might go back and test the math of it all...just for the academic exercise.

You really can't trust those Nobel Prize winners...and he's a Princeton Univ. paid pimp BTW...and, it wouldn't be a bad thing if he was government paid, because as economics go, he gets it.

You want government paid pimps, listen to FOX...shameless...oops, wrong guys...they're not in charge of the government now...just want to be. They long for their good old days...

a problem that exists today is that there are too many people who actually think FOX is a news program instead of the noisy republican "hide the ball" infomercial it actually is...

If we can just make the uber rich richer - by any means, we'd all be happy...right?

Low volume. No volume sellers is good news. Market makers taking it down to find buyers...

Cup and Handle formation from the gap down needs to resolve in the near future. Still have a big gap to fill up to mid $2.50-$2.60ish range.

OK...just saw your headline and didn't ready any preposts on the subject...hope you make bank.

Could My iPhone Really Crash My Airplane?
What about an onboard Wi-Fi network?
By Christopher Beam
Posted Tuesday, March 31, 2009, at 7:10 PM ET

Is using a cell phone aboard an airplane really dangerous?American Airlines announced Tuesday that it will expand in-flight Wi-Fi Internet service to its entire fleet. The airline, along with Delta and Virgin America, started offering Wi-Fi on select planes in late 2008. In-flight calls, however, are still prohibited. If I can surf the Web, why can't I use my cell?

It operates on a totally different frequency. Cell phones transmit signals at roughly the same frequencies as aircraft communications—pilot radios and radar range from below 100 to 2,000 MHz, and many phones operate at 850 MHz or 1,900 MHz. Your cell could therefore—at least theoretically—interfere with navigation. Wi-Fi, on the other hand, signals at a higher frequency—anywhere from 2,500 to 5,000 MHz—and thus won't get mixed up with the plane's transmissions.


Yahoo! Buzz FacebookMySpace Mixx Digg Reddit del.icio.us Furl Ma.gnolia SphereStumbleUponCLOSEIn-flight Wi-Fi works like a moving Starbucks hot spot. The plane is rigged with three antennae—two on its belly and one on top—that receive signals from towers across the country. The frequency of those transmissions, 849 MHz, is within the range of airline communications. But they don't interfere with the plane's navigation, since 849 MHz is a dedicated frequency that was auctioned off and bought in 2006 by Aircell, which services American, Delta, and Virgin. (It's the same frequency once used by Airfone.)

But are cell phones on planes really that dangerous, anyway? Studies analyzing the dangers of in-flight cell-phone use suggest the risks are small but real. In 2003, a study by IEEE Spectrum concluded that "continued use of portable RF-emitting devices such as cell phones will, in all likelihood, someday cause an accident by interfering with critical cockpit instruments such as GPS receivers." A study produced by the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics in 2006 found that portable electronic devices can interfere with airplane communications and laid out testing guidelines for airlines to figure out which devices should be permitted.

The rationale for switching off other portable electronic devices is slightly different. Even if a device doesn't transmit a signal—think iPods, Game Boys, "anything with an on-off switch"—it still emits energy at a frequency that could, possibly, interfere with the plane's electronics. The Federal Aviation Administration requires all such devices to be off during takeoff and landings, but you're allowed to turn them on once you reach a cruising altitude—presumably because any interference would be minimal and temporary. There are exceptions, though, for necessary devices like hearing aids and pacemakers.


Some international airlines do allow cell-phone use. Emirates Airline permits in-flight calls as long as you use an onboard picocell network, which isolates the cellular communications from the pilot's. In the United States, the resistance to in-flight calls is strong, but often for social rather than safety reasons. Members of Congress have even introduced legislation to keep cell phones off planes, titled the Halting Airplane Noise To Give Us Peace Act, or HANG UP Act.

there you go...

OCNF posted an earnings loss of <$0.10> Aug 5/09. The first loss in recent memory. See a recent chart and the big gap down at that time...

I love this board...

It regularly proves the point, by example, that there is a very thin line between genius and insanity. Posters who share rational, thoughtful sometimes edgy contributions (theirs and from their brand of experts) to our day-to-day world will suddenly go "postal" with the most outrageous drivel...and defend their mind-numbing stretch of logic with illusions to magic that only a few see. Where no amount of subjective or objective information will finally create an undeniable contradictory result to their unsustainable logic. There are medical terms for such behavior. Saying that, I do agree that the pathological behavior of the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeldt gang suggests that they were capable of participating in and advocating just about anything, sinister or not.

BTW - as I sit here in my home office, my usual cellular tower connection is about 10 miles due west(=~52,800 feet at last check), across an unobstructed body of water. The closer towers are obstructed from me because I'm in a bit of a canyon and behind hills to closer connections. It has been this way for years as shown on my monthly statements even back in time with my old motorola brick.

OK...I like that chart. /e

Or this ARM reset chart from a previous poster. It is heartening that folks like yourself are taking notice, but it yesterday's news...

The real Q is what to do about it.

My first thought is to not run down the street with your hair on fire when the criminals who perpetrated this heist have generally left town with the money...and have done their best to recruit "912ers" for example to cover up the deeds and blame it on the new guy.

Where were the dingbats like yourself when the last administration drove this country off a cliff? ...rooting for them?

OCNF - thar she blows...might get a pullback to 30dma for entry, but don't count on it. 5%+ short interest so there is some fuel. Closing at HOD today will bode well for a gap up tomorrow...imo. Right now trading on previous high mark.

Hey TG

Keep an eye on OCNF ($1.43 last) for a move to fill the previous gap down (8/5/09) from $1.70-$1.46.

The first pop up thru several MA's has already tested $1.44 today but the shipping news out of Hong Kong etc bodes well for this co. You can also track DRYS as they move somewhat in tandem. OCNF moves quickly when it does so pops occur (both directions).

disclosure: I own some @ $1.37

Should continue to move toward filling the gap.

There is a big gap to fill @ $1.46 to $1.70 based on the gap down Aug.5th '09. If we get up thru $1.46-$1.50 then the melt up to $1.65-$1.70 should go quickly.

With any shipping growth and report of earnings, this could see double digits in the medium term.

Friday Failures...By design so the Feds can come in over the weekend...make the internal shifts required so that the Bank can reopen (usually) on Monday w/new owners or whatever for the depositors to access their insured accounts.

Bull_D. Thanks for your comments. I don't need "talking points". Just telling the truth as I've studied it and I know it to be. I'm not smart enough nor do I have enough blind loyalty in my readers/listeners to either lie convincingly or remember the irrational and confused matrix one has to weave when trying to debunk nose-on-your-face facts. Talking points are for those who can't have an intelligent discussion over the realities and need a short phrase to shout down honest logical discourse. (And I really can't comment on Mars. Never been there. Although with an atmosphere of 95.3% Carbon Dioxide and 2.7% Nitrogen w/trace oxygen, climate change is an interesting concept - and rest easy, your SUV emissions, should they get there, would be a phart in a whirlwind, so to speak)

Insurance companies are not demons. Some of their behavior however, often times is unacceptable in the context of spreading financial risk of health care needs over the broadest base of premium payers possible (the definition of insurances). I have an insurance license and know the business. Basically the mantra is collect maximum premium, avoid those in need of health services and pay as little in benefit as the legal team can argue. I have great health benefit thru an HMO so I have no axe to grind nor financial interest in maintaining the status quo. A lot of good people have bad, little or no health insurance. Seems patently un-American to not promote the "common good"(and un-Christian as well but lets not go there...Jesus didn't care who he healed).

A relative who owns a company with 700 employees in the Health care providing business much prefers to work with Medicare patients than Insurance patients. Medicare reimburses w/in a few days...Insurances can take months...same care different payer. The problems that may loom for medicare have little to do with efficiency...it is highly efficient. Insurance +/- 30% overhead, Medicare +/- 3% overhead. Medicare did not help create the problem other than partially define what it looks like to have 97% of premium dollar going to actual health care. Just try to take away Medicare from those who have it.

Best way to convince folks of government failures is to hire incompetent people for highly public and specialized work. If you are trying to destroy the public's opinion of gov't (We the People...remember) just continue the "Hell of a job Brownie" kinds of employee hires. Their public incompetence will do the dirty work for you...
