Tuesday 19August2014 - Past History of Stock Market Crashes!

From Danielle Park's Blog.

As the most reckless players are today taking “genius” laps on the back of stock prices which have once more reclaimed the rare distinction of being the most most leveraged and over-valued in history next to 1929 and 2000, it is helpful to consider a little reminder on how speculative markets break: suddenly and all at once. Even the few participants today that feel confident that they have downside protection by using stop loss limits are likely to learn that once prices gap down, stops are often impotent.
This chart of the NASDAQ in its blow off top from October 1999 to March 2000, shows the incredible ramp and then rapid plunge that evaporated 60% of the prior ‘gains’ in 2 weeks (red box).

Tuesday 22July2014 - Iraq and 3D Printing of Human Tissue!

From James Dines newsletter.

Dines says hold Organovo Holdings; Iraq to split 3 ways Organovo Holdings Inc (U:ONVO)
Tuesday July 22 2014 - In the News

James Dines, writing in a June 27, 2014, issue of the The Dines Letter, says hold Organovo Holdings Inc. at $8.60. (all figures U.S.). He first recommended buying the stock on Aug. 23, 2013, at $5.50. An investment of $1,000 would now be worth $1,565. The editor mentions Organovo only briefly in this newsletter, pointing out that 3-D stocks seem to have completed their consolidation and many, including Organovo, are in uptrends again. Mr. Dines says he expects Organovo will announce any day now that it has 3-D printed its first liver tissue. Elsewhere in the newsletter, the editor says he predicts Iraq will be dismembered into its Sunni, Shiite and Kurd areas, using DINOPA, "the Dines Nature of Paradox." A big paradox currently exists in Iraq, he says. For 15 years America laboured to stop Osama bin Laden. Now, the border between Iraq and Syria is busted and a supranational state is emerging, he warns. This is exactly what bin Laden wanted, Mr. Dines says, an Islamic state with surviving Muslims united worldwide in one nation under Sharia law. The editor says irony is the punishment for not having understood paradox.
