Famine There is a great book called "Good Omens" where the incarnation of famine is a diet guru, so WTW seems appropriate here.

I thought Death was something that should be obvious so I just went with MO. But for the otehr 3, I thought they should be more subtle, so Weight Loss for famine, Microsoft for almost facilitating viruses that plague the internet and Halliburton for what I consider war profiteering during the current Iraq war (not hard to figure out where my politics are, huh?) :-)

I have to admit that it is pretty cool. Although there are a lot of in war and pestilence. Although I'm no fond of Microsoft (Linux user), probably a biotech would have been also good.

er, did I say defense? I meant war.

Hahaha, I like your picks, pretty unique. I thought you'd use a good defense company for defense, Halliburton though?

Q. I think that you've got to be lo...
12.03.09 | 21:01 PM Asked by DogBones

A. " I think that you've got to be
long here, despite the imminent monthly
jobs number."

um...yeah...youre correct...except you
can replace the comma above with one big
giantic period. The Fed (world
banks/govts) are practically holding a
gun to everyones head FORCING them to
take on risk (buy assets) - hands down
that trumpts any argument anywhere about
anything... Benanke made that very clear
weeks ago... yet the very obvious weekly
head fakes continues.

Who would want to fight the Fed here?
None of us retail folks should be
selling based on bogus scares (like ANY
bad numbers, Dubia, or any of the many
LAME reasons we've heard since August),
unless that selling is part of our plan.
I dont know why everyone is mincing
words (even Cramer, although today he
was a tiny bit more explicit). Just say
it!!! "There are absolutely no
reason to be afraid of the market,
people must escape falling currencies by
purchasing assests!!!"...which is
exactly what the Fed wants...when the
dust settles, JOBS WILL BE CREATED...at
least that appears to be the plan...The
Fed is at "DEFCON 1", an
election year is coming up...They are
forcing some stuff to be fixed here;
attacking from all sides; you will be
swashed trying to get in their way...at
least thats how I see right now (lol). I
do not know if things will work out for
them (Great Depression II?), but so far
theres nothing showing it will not. USA
rocks!!!

lol...I probably shouldnt be saying this
today; jinxing myself; because Im
expecting tomorrow is quiet or down (not
UP!!!!), so I can get grab some
goodies...I really shouldnt be
advertising how bogus it is...but yeah,
I cant really see anyone SERIOUSLY being
anti-long anywayz, so its not like
breaking news (lol).

To answer your question(s), my guess is
the numbers will be SPUN so that Friday
is a bad day ...just like the most of
the Fridays...lol...I am amazed that
such trickery works each week...but youd
better get ur shorts/inverses outta
there quick, cause you know what happens
next...same old story...even though I am
cant see this trickery working anymore
Fridays for the rest of the year.

Have Fun!
