Looks like I'm the only one with fresh roasted fish today!
Jester's morning fish is in d'fry'n pan.
I may just have to float some of DQ's boats to 0.045.
Jock of Hazeldean
Sir Walter Scott (1771–1832)
‘WHY weep ye by the tide, ladie?
Why weep ye by the tide?
I’ll wed ye to my youngest son,
And ye sall be his bride:
And ye sall be his bride, ladie,
Sae comely to be seen’—
But aye she loot the tears down fa’
For Jock of Hazeldean.
‘Now let this wilfu’ grief be done,
And dry that cheek so pale;
Young Frank is chief of Errington
And lord of Langley-dale;
His step is first in peaceful ha’,
His sword in battle keen’—
But aye she loot the tears down fa’
For Jock of Hazeldean.
‘A chain of gold ye sall not lack,
Nor braid to bind your hair,
Nor mettled hound, nor managed hawk,
Nor palfrey fresh and fair;
And you the foremost o’ them a’
Shall ride our forest-queen’—
But aye she loot the tears down fa’
For Jock of Hazeldean.
The kirk was deck’d at morning-tide,
The tapers glimmer’d fair;
The priest and bridegroom wait the bride,
And dame and knight are there:
They sought her baith by bower and ha’
The ladie was not seen!
She’s o’er the Border, and awa’
Wi’ Jock of Hazeldean.
My frying pan is empty, but anybody for pea soup, fish fry and AMY firework displays.
Jester is holding out for three-pea-pod soup, grilled dry white toast, and down by the river fresh trout grilled on an open flame.
Bait'n the hook to see what fish I can serve for dinner.
Some Chartists Connect Dots and See a Bear
By CONRAD De AENLLE
Published: April 1, 2006
ECONOMICS is called the dismal science, but you would be forgiven for thinking that adherents of technical stock market analysis are even less fun to be around. As investors celebrate five-year highs in major indexes, some chartists are forecasting a sharp, imminent reversal.
Ralph Acampora, a prominent analyst with four decades on Wall Street, attracted attention late in March when he reiterated his prediction of a decline of as much as 20 percent in stocks this year.
He is not alone. Some technicians — analysts who study chart patterns rather than economic and corporate information — are just as bearish, if not more so.
Peter Kendall, co-editor of The Elliott Wave Financial Forecast newsletter, predicts a return to the lows of 2002 and 2003, which would mean declines greater than 40 percent for major indexes. "The Dow may make a new high within the next couple of weeks, but after that, or in lieu of it, the stock markets in the U.S. and around the world will resume the downhill trip," he said.
Louise Yamada, another well-regarded technician and head of Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors, is more optimistic— about certain market segments. "What's happening here is the market is giving a lot of mixed signals," she said. "Clearly there are areas that are doing well and going up."
These include small and medium-size companies and sectors like transportation, metals and energy. She encourages investors to stick with these winners until they break below significant recent lows.
Ms. Yamada is less sanguine about the broad market. Still, she said that "there's nothing I'm looking at that's saying we're about to have a 20 percent decline." She added, "We could have a sharp retreat, but I don't have any indication of it at the moment."
Other analysts are bullish without Ms. Yamada's qualifications and caveats. In fact, The Hulbert Financial Digest, a newsletter that tracks other investment letters, has detected a pronounced brightening in the mood of many other technicians.
Mark Hulbert, who writes a column for Sunday Business and is the editor of the newsletter, has found a sudden and substantial increase in the recommended exposure to stocks among short-term market timers, most of them technical analysts.
That may not be a good omen for stocks, however, and it may even foretell a decline. Mr. Hulbert cautioned that the increase in bullishness may itself be a technical indicator signaling a decline.
"Basically when you get excessive bullishness, it's bearish, and vice versa," he said. "My read of it is there's modestly too much bullishness right now, although it does change from day to day." Why do the timers have such an uncanny knack for incorrect timing? Because when analysts or investors tell you what they think will happen, they are telling you what they have already done with their money. Once so many have sold so much, the market heads higher because their selling has depressed prices and there are few others left who are inclined to sell. The same happens in reverse at tops.
WHETHER bulls or bears, technicians make up a shrinking minority on Wall Street, where big investment houses have been reducing or eliminating their technical research for years. If mainstream investment firms see little need for technical analysts, why should you?
For one thing, they provide a reality check to the conventional thinking of fundamental analysts, who view the same economic reports and earnings statements and tend to draw similar conclusions. Those conclusions are often wrong because of the well-known tendency of stock market movements to precede the economic developments that conventional wisdom holds to be their causes. Buying and selling based on economic and corporate data alone can leave investors positioned the wrong way and perplexed by the market.
Technical analysis can serve as an early warning system by focusing on what the market is saying without trying to explain why it is saying it. And technicians contend that some measures of momentum and sentiment can anticipate market changes.
Mr. Hulbert's survey of short-term timers' opinions is one such measure. Mr. Kendall said the dearth of technical analysts at conventional investment firms was another.
"People should pay attention to technical analysts because the discipline has fallen from favor," he said. "Technical analysis is popular in bear markets when the financial crowd loses its heart for buy-and-hold and gets keen on picking peaks and valleys. Now that the Wall Street firms have swept out the technicians, it's time for a reversal to sweep them back in."

SHEDIAC, New Brunswick, February 21, 2006 - InteliSys Aviation Systems of America Inc. (OTCBB:IYSA) announced today that it has entered into a multi-year agreement with Sama, Saudi Arabia’s first Low Fare Airline.
Under the terms of the agreement, InteliSys will provide Sama with its hosted passenger management and reservation system which it markets under the trade name "amelia". The agreement will see InteliSys deliver its amelia RES module, supported by several companion modules.
Sudeep Ghai, Chief Commercial Officer said "The choice of Reservations System Provider is a key strategic decision. We selected InteliSys for three reasons: the quality of its people, their experience in the region and willingness to work with us in developing tailor made solutions. We see InteliSys less as a vendor and more as a partner on this exciting journey. Together we can build for success."
Commenting on the new partnership, InteliSys President and CEO Ralph Eisenschmid said "We are extremely pleased to have been selected by Sama. The Saudi Arabian market is both large and underserved. The lessons learned by Low Fare Airlines in the Americas and Western Europe are being applied in this region with great success. For InteliSys this serves as further validation of our ability to deliver tailored solutions to Low Fare carriers who are operating in emerging, non-Western markets."
"amelia" is InteliSys’ proprietary, integrated suite of airline management tools designed specifically for the rapidly growing Low Fare Airline market. The "amelia" solution is delivered over the internet from InteliSys data centres.
