Market Talk / October 8th - 14th

[VirginiaBob]

If you buy on Monday, you buy at Mondays closing price $11.60. If you sell on Monday, you sell at Monday's closing price.

If you buy on Friday, you buy at Friday's closing price $11.59.

So if you buy Friday, you buy at $11.59. If you sell Monday, you sell at $11.60.

So would that not mean that the penny gets paid today? If I go in before noon on Monday I thought I bought at Fridays close and money gained or lost depened on Mondays close.

AIF,

If you go into a fund before noon today, you buy in at the closing price of the fund today.

It would be pretty sweet if it worked the way you're talking about. If that were the case, we'd all buy into the S fund to get the 26cent gain it posted yesterday.

 

[AIF]

Thank you.

Sources: NK sample shows no radiation

POSTED: 11:58 a.m. EDT, October 13, 2006

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Two U.S. government officials with access to classified information tell CNN that the initial air sampling over North Korea shows no indication of radioactive debris from the event Monday that North Korea says was an underground nuclear test.
The U.S. Air Force flew a WC-135 Constant Phoenix on Tuesday to collect air samples from the region.
A third official reiterated that at this point "there isn't information to allow confirmation it was a nuclear test."
The intelligence community and the military will continue to fly satellites and collect air samples in the region to try to collect radiological data that would provide confirmation of a nuclear test, officials said. But as time goes on, it will be increasingly difficult to achieve confirmation.
Officials emphasize this is preliminary data, and it provides no conclusive evidence about the North Korean event.
It is possible there was no radiological data. That could be the case if: the North Koreans successfully sealed the site; it was such a small detonation and so deep underground there was no escape of nuclear debris; or the test was actually conventional explosives.
Arms control monitors in Vienna, Austria, also tell CNN that they are now trying to run computer models to simulate wind conditions over the Korean Peninsula so they can try to calculate where radiological material might flow on air currents so they can position sensors for the best position to pick it up.
Government experts continue to emphasize they will continue to sample from air, ground and maritime sensors and they could get a positive reading.
One intelligence official said "lack of confirmation is not proof of a non-event."

nnuut,

This is good news. Let us hope the OSM run with it. Maybe that train that blew up in NK a while back was on it way to the test sight. Need a lot of TNT to make a bang like that one. Japan is going to really put the whammy to them with the import ban. LOL

 

[nnuut]

The other night I got an email with a video of an explosion done in the Pacific, conventional explosives equal to 1,000,000 pounds of TNT. This was done in 1965 to simulate a nuclear explosion, awesome. I was going to post it but its 4 MB, too big! This thing can be done!

Nothing showing any kind of weakness that would promote a price top of intermediate degree. The NYAD is at all time highs. Will there be a late 30 minute impulse higher this afternoon - who knows.

 

[SkiUtah]

Looks like you called the run up Birchtree....call another one for monday....

 

[James48843]

Interesting.

That train from a while back could very well have been loaded with what was actually in the hole last Sunday that went off.

Wouldn't that be a kicker if there was no nuke, and it was just TNT loaded up underground.


Things that make you go Hmmmmm.......

 

[SkiUtah]

Kinda like Pres. Reagan's Strategic Defense Intitiative (SDI) 1983 bluff, except his bluff worked.

 

[ATCJeff]

Another 100 pt plus week. This was the third in a row. The DOW has never had four consecutive 100 pt plus weeks.

Anyway, a great week and everyone enjoy the weekend. Lets make it four in a row and break 12,000.

 

[James48843]

Wooo Hooo! Now THAT is a call.

If you notice the freight train "S" fund, there is NO SIGN of it running out of steam today.

Snoooorrrrtttt!

 

[Birchtree]

Fundsurfer,

Noticed you are sitting on the dock of the bay in G watching the money roll away. This angle of incline looks a lot like 1995 and the shorts will push it higher. Just wondering how long you can sit and allow this move to slip through your fingers. Watching you. Snort.

 

[FundSurfer]

Birchtree, sad day for the Gators, but it ain't the end of the world.

I've got a nice return so far, I'm very happy. I'd be lying if I said I did not care about how I'm doing compared to everyone else. (I've already said I'm competitive.) It was painfull to watch a couple big days from the sidelines.

That being said, what goes up will come down. I'm going to stick with my plan. (Like Wheels I try to make sure that my competitive nature doesn't make me do stupid things.) If I start chasing, I'm likely to get whipsawed.

I'm all for a market that takes off like a rocket. I've just got to make sure the the flight to mars starts off on the right foot.
