yep I know what you mean. Metals have been pushed to bubble levels over the last ten years... Only a matter of time before the pop.
Beware of any company so government friendly and so quickly growing.
Ten years ago, google was excite's shadow.. now?
Phones, wifi sniffing, earth plotting, cloud computing pioneers?
Biggest company on the planet out of nothing?
Tread lightly.
Two options:
Partition your current hard drive.
Buy an external hard drive.
Changing your operating system should not take more than thirty minutes..
I do it all the time.
I'm typing on an OS that is barely a day old..
If you keep all your stuff on a partitioned or external drive then changing your OS is easy peasy.
You can't trust antivirus programs.. you can't trust malware scanners.. you can't trust firewall programs..
What can you trust?
You can trust that they have to scan and then install or break your current system.. this takes time..
What if you keep them scanning because you keep changing their first step?
Again, I doubt you have anyone on your trail.. Simply stated:
You are not that important.
But just incase;
follow where I am leading you.
If you use windows.. dual boot with linux
Partition and then encrypt a secondary drive that holds everything you want to keep.
Use a router to connect to the internet.. a good one.
Questions on how to do this?
Ask
Not likely that someone is watching... It's more likely that MS makes crappy systems. (Though Win 7 is their best crappy system yet)
If someone is in your system, there is no antivirus or malware scanner that will keep them out. About the only thing to do is routinely change your operating system... Keep everything you have on a separate encrypted partition.

ugh
This is something we've seen coming for quite a while. Also serves as a warning about just what sorts of things are posted. Now granted, folks like us are small fries and not worth minding.. But at some point even us small fries will be noticed.
Did you figure out what was wrong with your computer?
Not going to happen..
In a month no one will even remember NK's antics.
What's Lady Gaga wearing?
OMG
Yeah, saw it. It was pretty good. Might be better than the first one.
Depends on the model but there should be a small button somewhere close to the pad.. Either that or go to control panel (Assuming you're using windows) and disable it from there.. Should be some sort of option to disable it.
I have a desktop, so no I don't have the problem.
If you find out how to disable the trackpad.. and you still have the problem.. Then you can do a couple things to see if someone is in your system. First would be to run a linux live cd. after booting up try typing something to see if the issue exists. If it does not then you know it is something in your operating system.. malicious or just annoying.. either way.
Next option would be to back up everything you have and do a fresh install of windows...
But I'd start with a linux live cd, providing disabling the pad doesn't work.
Laptop?
Disable the trackpad.. You're touching it while typing.
After the tumultuous years of the Great Recession, a battered people may wish that 2011 will bring a return to kinder, gentler times. But that is not what we are predicting. Instead, the fruits of government and institutional action – and inaction – on many fronts will ripen in unplanned-for fashions.
Trends we have previously identified, and that have been brewing for some time, will reach maturity in 2011, impacting just about everyone in the world.
1. Wake-Up Call In 2011, the people of all nations will fully recognize how grave economic conditions have become, how ineffectual and self-serving the so-called solutions have been, and how dire the consequences will be. Having become convinced of the inability of leaders and know-it-all "arbiters of everything" to fulfill their promises, the people will do more than just question authority, they will defy authority. The seeds of revolution will be sown….
2. Crack-Up 2011 Among our Top Trends for last year was the "Crash of 2010." What happened? The stock market didn’t crash. We know. We made it clear in our Autumn Trends Journal that we were not forecasting a stock market crash – the equity markets were no longer a legitimate indicator of recovery or the real state of the economy. Yet the reliable indicators (employment numbers, the real estate market, currency pressures, sovereign debt problems) all bordered between crisis and disaster. In 2011, with the arsenal of schemes to prop them up depleted, we predict "Crack-Up 2011": teetering economies will collapse, currency wars will ensue, trade barriers will be erected, economic unions will splinter, and the onset of the "Greatest Depression" will be recognized by everyone….
3. Screw the People As times get even tougher and people get even poorer, the "authorities" will intensify their efforts to extract the funds needed to meet fiscal obligations. While there will be variations on the theme, the governments’ song will be the same: cut what you give, raise what you take.
4. Crime Waves No job + no money + compounding debt = high stress, strained relations, short fuses. In 2011, with the fuse lit, it will be prime time for Crime Time. When people lose everything and they have nothing left to lose, they lose it. Hardship-driven crimes will be committed across the socioeconomic spectrum by legions of the on-the-edge desperate who will do whatever they must to keep a roof over their heads and put food on the table….
5. Crackdown on Liberty As crime rates rise, so will the voices demanding a crackdown. A national crusade to "Get Tough on Crime" will be waged against the citizenry. And just as in the "War on Terror," where "suspected terrorists" are killed before proven guilty or jailed without trial, in the "War on Crime" everyone is a suspect until proven innocent….
6. Alternative Energy In laboratories and workshops unnoticed by mainstream analysts, scientific visionaries and entrepreneurs are forging a new physics incorporating principles once thought impossible, working to create devices that liberate more energy than they consume. What are they, and how long will it be before they can be brought to market? Shrewd investors will ignore the "can’t be done" skepticism, and examine the newly emerging energy trend opportunities that will come of age in 2011….
7. Journalism 2.0 Though the trend has been in the making since the dawn of the Internet Revolution, 2011 will mark the year that new methods of news and information distribution will render the 20th century model obsolete. With its unparalleled reach across borders and language barriers, "Journalism 2.0" has the potential to influence and educate citizens in a way that governments and corporate media moguls would never permit. Of the hundreds of trends we have forecast over three decades, few have the possibility of such far-reaching effects….
8. Cyberwars Just a decade ago, when the digital age was blooming and hackers were looked upon as annoying geeks, we forecast that the intrinsic fragility of the Internet and the vulnerability of the data it carried made it ripe for cyber-crime and cyber-warfare to flourish. In 2010, every major government acknowledged that Cyberwar was a clear and present danger and, in fact, had already begun. The demonstrable effects of Cyberwar and its companion, Cybercrime, are already significant – and will come of age in 2011. Equally disruptive will be the harsh measures taken by global governments to control free access to the web, identify its users, and literally shut down computers that it considers a threat to national security….
9. Youth of the World Unite University degrees in hand yet out of work, in debt and with no prospects on the horizon, feeling betrayed and angry, forced to live back at home, young adults and 20-somethings are mad as hell, and they’re not going to take it anymore. Filled with vigor, rife with passion, but not mature enough to control their impulses, the confrontations they engage in will often escalate disproportionately. Government efforts to exert control and return the youth to quiet complacency will be ham-fisted and ineffectual. The Revolution will be televised … blogged, YouTubed, Twittered and….
10. End of The World! The closer we get to 2012, the louder the calls will be that the "End is Near!" There have always been sects, at any time in history, that saw signs and portents proving the end of the world was imminent. But 2012 seems to hold a special meaning across a wide segment of "End-time" believers. Among the Armageddonites, the actual end of the world and annihilation of the Earth in 2012 is a matter of certainty. Even the rational and informed that carefully follow the news of never-ending global crises, may sometimes feel the world is in a perilous state. Both streams of thought are leading many to reevaluate their chances for personal survival, be it in heaven or on earth….

Gerald Celente is founder and director of The Trends Research Institute, author of Trends 2000 and Trend Tracking (Warner Books), and publisher of The Trends Journal. He has been forecasting trends since 1980, and recently called “The Collapse of ’09.”
Bounced off the upper trendline and will now go down to touch the lower trendline. At or around 1.18 is the next turn.
I'm certain there will be untold stories of dread for the euro during this time.. But it's just a natural market cycle.
Hiccups are spasms of the diaphragm. Taking a deep breath and holding it stretches the diaphragm long enough that the spasm cycle is broken.
Congratulations.. you just reinvented the wheel.
Dunno either.. wasn't me

There is no way that happens. There will be loopholes all through any such regulation. The bankers will never give up that level of control.
That all spells chaos in the markets.
Chaos is exactly what we see before major moves up or down. Everyone is scrambling with no real understanding of what's about to happen. Me and Ataglance have been talking for the last few years about impending collapse, but who really knows what the outcome will be. I've been wrong many times.
One common trend in the markets is more and more dufuses trading witlessly. When I first started trading there was a real embrace of charting and attempts at understanding fundamentals. The trend has retreated towards momentum plays.. A pointless endeavor that takes all the finesse out of the game and turns one from a sniper into a hack with a shotgun. We can thank many things and people for this trend.. Jim Cramer helped in turning trading from an educated man's game to professional wrestling-esque barbarism.
Oh I understand your motives.
My only concern is researching said activities is one thing.. talking about them will bring attention you don't want.. Not these days.
If you go forward making all those things in quantity we will soon be wondering where you went. Be careful these days.
Dunno.. Looks like a blog site.
May very well be the most honest/reliable broker this planet will ever know..
But they need to redesign their site such that it doesn't look like a blog.
Now I understand that we as a civilized people are not supposed to be judging books by covers. I however do not know what else to judge by... Were I not supposed to judge by the first thing I see.. Then why would it be the first thing I see?
I need a nap.
Doesn't look legit to me.
It's a delicate endeavor to differentiate between accurate portrayals of what's to come and fear stories aimed at selling a product.
It's a spiraling problem.
This is simply my experience and perspective, but reduced contributions to 401k's is a direct result of lowered salaries and real inflation in the last couple years. Simply stated, there is nothing left to contribute when paying bills and eating is the priority.
Yeah, that's my point..
And that might well be part if not the problem.
Enough is never enough..
A billion is the goal until they have it.. Then it's a trillion.. then a quadrillion.
This goes and goes until very few hold everything while 99% of the population are begging in lines.
I'm not for any sort of communism but there has to be some sort of equality if our species is to continue.
Starting off with fifty million bucks is the kicker for me.
My motivation to do any damned thing ceases the moment I have fifty million bucks in my pocket. A resounding "I'm Done!" would be heard moments before the crisp sound of beer one being cracked open.
I guess I don't get the notion that enough to retire on isn't enough... Enough to buy.. Australia isn't enough..
Who's becoming aware?
I don't see any greater awareness among the averages.
On "the street" all I hear is BS about Dem or Rep... puke worthy at best were I attached to this world.
truth be told?
I don't see anything that wikileaks has shown that wasn't already known to be fact...
I see it all as a game...
I see the whole damned thing as a game.
If he was exposing anything even remotely sensitive... He'd be dead.
Plain
simple
logic
Yup, same old line:
Ohh you poor folks are getting screwed!
Let us help
Screw you.. We mean help you.
That's pretty much what I got from it.. My initial response was.. and I'll quote me:
"Well... Noooo shit"
I'm turning you in for even thinking it.
Next time they vote on it they'll try to keep it quiet and double it.
At our current rate that'll buy us.. ooohhh two years.. maybe.
What's the alternative?
They don't?
Government is forced to shut down?
Not friggen likely.
Oh better yet:
They add a line to an upcoming fresh water fisheries bill that says there is no debt limit. No one will know it's even there considering the way bills and laws are written these days.
It will appear as nothing more than an amendment to subsection 102.3.blabla and lines 4 through 17 are now replaced to say debt limit is now constantly expanding to 150% current levels.
Or some such bs.
Funny thing is that's exactly what Ireland thought. 57% wanted to default..
The conspiracy behind it is that they are using HARP to alter weather patterns as well as various other nefarious deeds.
Some tried to blame the Norway spiral on HARP in an effort to conceal it's true origin.
Some talk of using HARP to trigger earthquakes like the one in Haiti.
Not sure how much stock I'd put in any of it. To me it sounds more like one program conspiracy theorists know about so they pin every mystery on it.
Keep an eye on the euro today.. gonna run like a scalded dog.
Well the Wikileaks release is out and after scanning briefly I can say.. We are going to war with Iran.. and the whole world is "On-board". It seems every "cable" is in reference to Iran in some way or another.
For your viewing pleasure... I present the following:
Interesting Sunday
More doom, heavy on the gloom.. But does jive with my assertion the DOW is culminating a head and shoulders pattern.
This isn't forex specific but it will obviously have a huge impact.
