================== Yesterday, April 19, the new Pope took over Command! Today, April 20th, and after over 4 years in power under a guy named Berlusconi, the Italian government collapsed. A new crises is on, a shuffle of cards is now in order in an attempt to form a new government <grin>...

Hey, I like that..!! Nice one..!!

=================== Oh, shooott! Them Cardinals do all kinds of inside trading. I used to work for Raytheon and was assigned to Italy on defense projects, I had a brokerage account and my broker in Rome once showed me his "special" separate sales trading books on a confidential bases. That...

------------------ Hey GJ, Your theory is as good as anyone else's. This last one, (bless his soul) used to go to America pretty often, fly with three jumbo jets full of support people, TV, etc also to various countries and all on the Italian governments expense, and he would lecture how...

--------------- This is just my opinion so don't take some of it to heart if it offends anyone, I don't mean to do so of course. I think Italians really wanted the new pope as a non Italian. I think it was the best to not elect an Italian (God forbid we don't want another scandal do we!). I...

My wife and daughter and all of my wifes, relatives are religious nuts. I'm against all the BS, every time the Pope makes a move, his last Jubilee for instance, and just recently when he was dieing and later did so, and now this new one, everyone goes ape over here, this land is full of chaos...

You might be right when it comes to individual stocks, but how many have had say Cisco, or IBM, or Yahoo, etc for a long time. I remember Plessey Radar (I attended one of their factory schools) company, the share price was about $2.00 back in about 1971, it went to 80 in a short number of...

I guess most people worry about the big market crashes thinking that the smaller ones will not hurt. But I think it's a delusion to think that the small ones ( after the fact of course), that they do little to a person's portfolio. Here for instance are the mini crashes that accumulate to...

--------------------------- Pete,Your absolutely right and I was dead wrong, it wasn't 1978 but in October 19, 1987, 18 years ago and it had nothing to do with any of the Popes movements. :>). They called that one Black Monday. On the Tuesday, I reported in that morning to work, and I was told...

A very long time ago, I used to do the manual hand charting, all kinds of Technical analysis stuff, the typical patterns, etc. Well, while experimenting, I suddenly came across something that seemed to work, but based on long term results. I still keep track of it with the computer days of...

-------------------------- Well, you might be familiar with the Italian lottery? For many years they went on with a silly trick right in front of a TV audience. They would wheel the balls in a basket, and inside the balls as they were selected and opened was a number (1 to 90). The balls are...

Downhill!!! I'm afraid so.. Maybe I'll go to Las Vegas and try the crap tables.. :>)

Well, get this stuff, talk about being superstitious.!! I live in Rome, and they havea lottery in Italy, it' based on trying to select one, or two, or three, or four or five numbers (balls). It has 90 numbers in the wheel. There are 7 cities that manage the lottery. Ffor instance if you...

To All..this is what I wrote on April 9, ... >>Hmm, Well, you might have good advice there.. But, I'm a bit superstitious, so beware of the next 9 days when they elect a new Pope and another mass of people come in again to Rome.... I think I'm going to cash..instead of crash... :>))<<<< You...
