nasa1974's Account Talk

The Asian market wasn't good and Europe not looking any better. Not looking forward to another 2% plus loss today. :mad: :mad:
 
Both sides at fault here and all they are interested in is getting the other side out of office. They really do not care about us. It is all about them and how good my party looks. Seriously, do these fools want to go through this again in 6 months?? Really??? Well every one of these idiots needs to be voted out of office when their time comes around, from the president on down, every republican, every democrat and them tea party fools. Off the soapbox, thanks.

We'll see how far we sink before the dip buyers step in. I'm betting 200 day EMA will hold on S&P and Wlshire 4500...

Unless we get some positive movement out of Washington today, even the dip buyers won't be able to get us out of the negitive zone.
 
All are welcome at fabs thread to vent as well just don't vent on me!How can you delete posts Nasa?
 
I'm back!!!

OK folks we have gotten away from venting about the debt ceiling to complaining about other things we currently have no control over. So the current format will shutdown at 9:00pm EDT and go back to the normal (if you can call it that) nasa1974 account. If everybody behaves I promise to open my account again for a civil and lively discussion on some other topic.
At 9:00pm EDT I will delete all posts associated with the current discussion. Thank for your participation.
 
Thanks Tom. Had a great laugh. Try and check the new updates tomorrow. Got to go to bed, 5am comes real quick. Behave everybody. good night.
 
Yesterday started out promising and then ended up as a disappointment. :( So much for July ending as a profitable month.

MAGNIFICENT SUNSPOT:
Double sunspot 1263 is a whopper. Its two dark cores are each wider than Earth, and the entire region stretches more than 65,000 km from end to end. Yesterday in the Netherlands, Emil Kraaikamp took advantage of a break in the clouds and "a few moments of steady air" to capture this magnificent photo:

Emil-Kraaikamp1.jpg



"To image this monster, I used a 10-inch Newtonian telescope capped by a white light solar filter," says Kraaikamp. He used the same setup to photograph nearby sunspot 1261. The clarity of both images is impressive. Note the granulation of the stellar surface surrounding the main dark cores. Those are Texas-sized bubbles of plasma rising and falling like water boiling on top of a hot stove.
The magnetic field of sunspot 1263 harbors energy for powerful X-class solar flares. Because the sunspot is turning to face Earth, any such eruptions in the days ahead would likely be geo-effective. Solar flare alerts: text, voice.
