Found this about the topic, Its wiki so take it for what thats worth. Tried to find other things, but the comments below alot of the articals would have resulted in this being skuzzified

Take it with a grain of salt - kinda like sports commentators - they offer analysis of players and which team should win the game - but they're just speculating as much as the average joe.
With so little volume in the market though - it could be self-fulfilling prophecy.

The Philippine market has shown 7.92% growth in the last quarter. :aok

Lets just hope you are right on this.

Take anything Glenn Beck says with a grain of salt too; he is a showman that gets ratings by sowing fear among the masses.
Before you get your conservative panties in a bunch, I'm neither right nor left, I'd just look for a more qualified opinion that his. I'd take advice from Carl Rove or Howard Dean before I took it from Glenn Beck.

Glenn beck did not start this Hindenburg Omen, just want to be clear on this.
-
Is he still flogging gold coins?
-
ignorant i know...but i have no clue what the"Hindenburg omen" is....google time!

Should I have said Sean Hannity or Rosie O'Donald instead to show I'm truly independent?
It was a jest to show how little I respect, or believe, Beck.
-
don't need an omen .. just basic math skills to see which way we are headed
-
Glenn Beck profits from making one particular group of sheep run in fear.
He can't even coherently explain the Hindenburg Omen, let alone comment on it, or apply the statistical analysis to it.
-
Everybody is title to their opinion about beck, but want to make it clear that this thread is not about him it is about the omen
-
Glen Beck was a failed stand up comedian. He will say whatever for profit. Him and his ilk are a disgrace to the American media.
-
did beck cry while he was explaining it? :cry

I havn't looked at the DOW chart for awhile, if you look at the depression and a recent DOW chart, I hope the recent DOW chart dosn't end up like the 30's.( the second leg down)
-
hmmmm I wonder if Coast to Coast did a show about this.
I've heard so many doom and gloom prophecies and am so beat down by all of it that I'm to the point of just doing my thing till the shock wave hits. I won't even have time to recognize the flash.

The DOW chart is vary much following the 30s chart.

Too bad we don't have another FDR in office. He's make the booboo go away.

I moved my 401k out of stocks and into a money market fund on Monday. There is way too much bad news going into the summer slump to be foolish and stay in stocks. I was getting real nervous before the big fall when others were moving out and paid for it with a 40% loss which pretty much forced me to stay in to hopefully ride it back up. I did regain most of my losses but am not going to play the sucker again. I'm out till the Dems are out, this administration scares the crap out of me.
As for FDR, I hope bfWldcat's comment was tongue-in-cheek otherwise some study is in order. I recommend at least reading "The Forgotten Man" for a good picture of what really happened in the depression rather than relying on the idol worship of FDR that passes for history in our public school system and the press. He and Keynes are the reason the depression lasted as long as it did and Obama is following the exact same theories. Raise taxes and increase government spending...absolutely idiotic. Keynsian economics have never, ever, worked. Both JFK and Reagan understood this and, to a degree, so did Clinton. FDR's famous quote should have been "We have nothing to fear....but ME!"

He almost cause another crash in 1946.
-
without FDRs (and therefore the US taxpayers) massive investment in infrastructure, the US wouldnt have been able to maintain such spectacular growth during and after WWII ... the timescale for macro interventions like this can be in generations, not terms of office ...
-

By being dead since the year prior?

It was his administration year that nearly caused it.

Seems to me... No war= no more jobs building weapons and gadgets. So... War ending is to blame?

The problems we have now were not created in 1 year nor by one person.The problems we face now are going to take a long time to fix.

good on you man..very wise move.
we completely left the market (stocks and mutual funds) 7 months ago..and we've never looked back.
-

only one issue with that. we're no longer a nation of industy. back then..we produced everything for ourselves, and exported much to the rest of the world. now..... we're a nation of purchasers.
we can't come out of this like ww2.
if fact...I don't think we will.

failed stand-up? no. I know beck. he got started at wfla in tampa..a station I worked with for many years.
call him what you will......but he's not disingenuous the man talked like this when he was broke..at lunch.

Is that the same station he started in when he was 13-14?
-
noooo..this was the station that assisted in helping him launch his current/format and the beginnings of a small network of affiliates. both the kids who produce his show (well..they're not kids anymore) were in house producers at 970 WFLA

QFT, and not taking sides. This is factual.
-
to that end..eisenhower followed it up quite nicely with his highway and other infrastructure projects. (most of them we still drive on today)
the problem is...and politicians know this...infrastructure spending is "not sexy". nobody even can see 90% of it when completed...but to me it's part of our national security.
our nation's infrastructure is crumbling. sewers, highways, bridges, dams, electrical grids, ..this would have been a great way to jolt the economy.. and so as not to get political..I will leave it there.
-
Beck cracks me up. The guy has a great sense of humor.
That's why I watch TV... Entertainment.
-
I just quipped, I know the situation and how it came to be. FDR thing was just a small crack joke.
I would love to see America rise again to the superpower it was, but ever since 9-11, we just haven't been the same. Americans are too afraid to spend money, sad.

I read somewhere that about 40% of the road bridges in the US will need replacing within the next 20 yrs and many are pretty borderline already ...

Fair warning - watch dragging the politics into this thread. The original post was about stock market / trading patterns.

I think your reply is rather telling of the major problem with US politics which must be very hard to see from the inside, but is obvious as an outsider - and that is just how completely polarised it is.
If i say I disagree with a single policy of Party A, its automatically assumed that I therefore completely sign up to all of the policies of Party B. whereas all it really means is that I disagree with that specific policy from Party A.
makes it almost impossible to have any useful debate or find any common ground, both of which are essential.
I doubt that Holmes as we're actually far more in agreement than disagreement.
I actually have a very good view of problems caused by government control because after 24 years as a Naval Officer I retired and became a government contractor. I see the government paying huge amounts to contractors to do things that used to be done by the military itself. I'm doing the same job I did in my last tour as a staff officer and getting 30% more pay to do it. Counting my retired pay and benefits I've doubled my income. My company isn't close to being the biggest and has over $7B in contracts. Consider also that it's only one of hundreds. 30% of the personnel at the headquarters I work at are contractors. What's the sense in that? Wouldn't it be smarter to grow the military so it can do this itself? Well, Congress sets the size of the military and government contracting is the only means we have to make up for the reduced military capability. Does any of this make economic sense? No, but the guys that set these rules are the same ones that are now making massive changes to our economy. The free market is much more like a wild animal than anything else and it's easily spooked. There's the old saw about "it's better to be quiet and let them think you're stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." That applies to the government's handling of the economy. If they'd sit back, stop their meddling and STFU, the market would be much, much happier as would we.
