April 24, 2003 All of these inputs have dragged the broad-based Composite model into strong negative territory for only the third time since 2000. The first was August 2000 and the second was March 2002. Honestly, I've been surprised that the model has dropped so far so fast, particularly...

Chirac's interests didn't change. Nor did his personal friendship with Saddam. I'll have to give him that. He holds tightly to his dictator friends (Mugabe was recently give a royal welcome) while the US sometimes puts up with dictators to get something they need for the time being.

A little bit more on sentiment. This from a usually marginal source of such data -- UBS/Gallup: http://www.gallup.com/poll/releases/pr030428.asp The UBS/Gallup Index of Investor Optimism had it biggest jump since its inception (Oct 1996) in April 2003. As you might expect this is...

surfer, you're right as it is stated right now it is rather simple. But that doesn't mean you can't add your own parameters to narrow it down. Anyway, I think I've traked down a source for the historical data and will in my spare time do some backtesting for various constraints and see what it...

In the April 21 2003 Barron's a letter to the Mailbag section was intriguing and I wanted to bring it to the traders here on ET and see if anyone has any thoughts about the simple market timing model that it suggested. For those that missed it, here is the gist of the system: Compare the...

Here is the account of the reporter from the Toronto Star who found a document left behind by the CIA after they finished their search/gather of the Mukhabara compound: Link to article And a related article detailing how the name of 'bin Laden' was whited-out and written over: Second...

Thank God! They 'reordered the world according to their beliefs' after WWII, the Korean War and look what that gave us. A liberal, free and capitalist Europe, Japan and South Korea. What country wouldn't want to be 'reordered' in that way? Can you imagine what the world would look like if...

There would be no "European values" save Nazism had the West not saved their ingrateful asses. Thanks for visiting the real world. Now run along back to your fantasy land and the Guardian To respond to the author of that quote you provide. The Sunnis and Shiites are hardly united. They are...

RM, Alan Greenspan and Ben "printing press" Bernanke have all those guys you mentioned beat. King Kong aint got nothin' on them! :D

pm praetorian, from his postings he subscribes

The Kurds have forgiven the US because for more than 10 years they have protected them from Saddam (no fly zone) as well as provided them with aid. That is why Garner was greeted with flower petals and kids waving the US flag. Actually the Kurds are living rather well. They have their own...

Just to clarify a few things due to comments above. The call to sell/short was not a day-trade thing. Sure the market tanked today. But it spiked higher just a few days ago. That doesn't mean anything because my time horizon is longer than a day. The real test of the thesis is a month or two...

Adapt or die...the rule is not the strongest, or the fastest or the brightest win...but rather those that adapt faster. I've switched from short term (intra-day) to long term swings. So far so good. If/when that fails, I'll be on to some other strategy.

An even bigger fish caught: Former intelligence chief Farouk Hijazi was taken into U.S. custody

lol...sometimes I would like to vacation in msfe/wild's world. But then again...maybe not :p What he obviously misses is that the CURRENT democratic governments would not be able to be elected, had the US not re-built those countries from rubble after the wars and putting them on the road to...
