I already covered one short today in hopes that my submission would trigger a sell off. That stock is now up 3+ from where I covered. It obviously isn't working.

Heinz and thread, dont know if anyone has ever watched a movie (i think it was) called "Marathon man" or "Running Man" or something like that with Dustin Hoffman ... In it, Dustin Hoffman`s brother is involved with the secret services and knows where a large diamond lot is hidden. Problem is , it belongs to a Nazi criminal who was hiding in South America and has come back up (or is forced/baited back up ) to the USA (New York) to retrieve it. The brother gets killed and Dustin Hoffman is kidnapped by the Nazi criminal and his gang as he is suspected of knowing where the diamonds are. While under guard, he is tortured, roughed up and ... also "set up" to believe he is being freed while being asked to reveal where the diamonds are... Truly great movie, classic set-up although Dustin escapes his tormentors running (all that training in Central Park paid off...). Where am i getting at? Trading is a mental game as much as a numbers game, and the big powers out there will do anything to get at the diamonds. The bulls after being tortured and roughed up are now being set up and falsely sweet talked into a fake escape in the hope that they will give more jewels. The police does it all the time: rough up, confuse, disinform/lie and then let the suspect trip himself/herself . In other words a bull trap, only the supreme disinformation/propaganda has most confused as to where we are. I think I`ll see if i can get that movie again and rewatch it. PS thx amazon, here it is: >>>Amazon.com essential video John Schlesinger (Midnight Cowboy) directed this gripping, entertaining 1977 thriller that centers on graduate student Dustin Hoffman (The Graduate, Tootsie). Hoffman plays a sullen and cowardly loner haunted by the suicide of his father, a suspected communist. He is drawn into a murky web of international intrigue when his brother, CIA agent Doc Levy, played by Roy Scheider (Jaws, The French Connection), is murdered by a former Nazi (Laurence Olivier) who has come to the United States to reclaim a valuable stash of diamonds. Babe (Hoffman) must confront his fears of the past as he runs for his life and tries to avenge his brother's death at the same time. Featuring a classic torture sequence and a terrific cast that includes William Devane and Marthe Keller, this film written by William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All the President's Men) stands as a great entertainment and as one of the seminal films of the 1970s. --Robert Lane <<<
