    Terrorist attack in Madrid, Spain! Heads up!

    From Time Europe: If there had been no warning from ETA, there had certainly been a declaration of intent from al-Qaeda. A tape aired in October — the voice purported to be bin Laden's — had singled out Spain for retribution because of its government's staunch support for the war in Iraq...

    When do we switch to June contract?

    Thanks for the daily ES settlement data. However, there appears to be a major discrepancy between the estimated volume for JUN04 on 3/11/04 (1036K), and the prior day's volume reported for the same contract on 3/12/04 (36K). Looks like some leading digits were dropped.

    Terrorist attack in Madrid, Spain! Heads up!

    You don't believe the "official" story of "probable sequences." What is your alternative explanation? You've spent a lot of time on this stuff. You must have your own theory of who was really behind 9/11. We'd all like to hear it.

    Terrorist attack in Madrid, Spain! Heads up!

    Kind of like engaging certain posters in these forums in ongoing discussions, eh? (Not referring to you here, so long as we steer clear of religious discussions.) As to your question of whether the attack was related to 9/11 or the election, I don't know. I don't think the anniversary date...

    Terrorist attack in Madrid, Spain! Heads up!

    From Reuters: "Over the weekend a purported spokesman for the Islamic militant group al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the bombings in a videotaped statement that has yet to be verified. The statement noted that the blasts came exactly two and a half years after the September 11 attacks in New...

    Terrorist attack in Madrid, Spain! Heads up!

    From http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4523891/: "In Madrid, the terrorists ... used a very simple delivery system: 13 backpacks and gym bags left lying around in commuter trains as they pulled into three crowded stations. Each held about 25 pounds of a high explosive. The detonators were wired to the...

    What Tick chart do you use to trade ES or NQ ?

    If you're using Fib numbers wouldn't that last number be either 144 or 233? (1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 ...)

    vacation..

    I don't know if you can ever take time off when you're running other people's money, unless you've got someone else working with/for you. Maybe not even then. Two books you should read if you haven't already: Pit Bill by Marty Schwartz: the chapters about his investors pulling their money out...

    vacation..

    Taric, I have a family member who trades a mechanical system. He has his wife place the trades when he's not home, and she's actually done a bit better than him because she never second-guesses the system. Of course this approach won't work too well on your honeymoon! You don't have any...

    This is pointless quibbling on my part, but can we all remember to spell "Buffett" with two Ts? Thanks.

    Terrorist attack in Madrid, Spain! Heads up!

    Don't take criticism well, do you? The buildings in your photos didn't have tens of thousands of gallons of diesel fuel stored in them. How did your trading go today?

    Terrorist attack in Madrid, Spain! Heads up!

    I did you the courtesy of scanning the 41 posts you have made to ET before I insulted you. Posts about various conspiracy theories: 41. Posts about trading: 0. The arguments presented by you and the web sites you've linked are as follows: 1. The building fell straight down, like a controlled...

    Terrorist attack in Madrid, Spain! Heads up!

    When I suggested keeping an open mind earlier in this thread, I didn't mean keeping it so open that the wind starts blowing right through your ears. If you had any background in physics and engineering, you would understand that there really isn't any other way for a building to collapse.

    Terrorist attack in Madrid, Spain! Heads up!

    This is true, but also consider (from AP news): ETA always phones in warnings before it attacks. The interior minister said there was no warning before Thursday's attack. "The modus operandi, the high number of victims and the way it was carried out make me think, and I have a hypothesis...

    Terrorist attack in Madrid, Spain! Heads up!

    They may well be right. But remember that the first suspects in the Oklahoma City bombing were not Americans... and as I recall, Timothy McVeigh picked the date of that bombing for a specific reason. Keep an open mind.
