Terry >You got a bargin

OK, here's one for $20. I took the cheapest. Look around at the website for others.

I don't dislike Bush. In fact, I think he's a nice guy. I far prefer him to Clinton, who my wife adores. But, I have to say, I don't dislike him either. In fact, I think he's a very bright guy and an amazing orator. If they weren't "nice" guys people wouldn't have voted for them -- especially the ladies!

However, I think none of these guys know what they are getting themselves into. In fact, they are the fall guys for all the incompetence, corruption, in-fighting, mal-administration, you name it, which exists in every government department. Furthermore, they are the virtual slaves of those groups/individuals which finance their election campaigns. Clinton was lucky because he could sit on top of a rising stockmarket and a wonderful economy. Then the bubble popped, just as Dubya stepped in. Further, he's got all the Israel/Islam trouble to deal with. Since all these problems are impossible to solve, Dubya got the egg on his face --- Clinton got away --- just. One has only to look at how wrinkled Dubya's brow is and old he has become to realize the stress he must be under.

My problem with the US administration is that there is a hidden agenda which involves both local and foreign policy. Why it concerns me is because whatever the US does affects the world especially my little country which is run by a multitude of self-righteous, socialist pricks who keep mouthing platitudes about democracy and racism while the place goes down the tubes.

By nature, I am a freedom-loving guy. If we had such a party here, I would be a Libertarian. I believe in honest/transparent, small government, rights of the individual and a "free" economy. Perhaps, all are utopian values but, still, that's the way I am. So, when I see dishonesty, covert action, deceit, partial truths, manipulation, propaganda, destruction of individual rights, war and war talk, and bullying tactics, I get really upset. And, I have to say, all that is what I have noticed since 911.

You ask about "my" charts. All the stuff which I post here is from sites on the internet. The analytic ones are usually from Stockcharts.com. How I am able to put my finger on the chart which I want very quickly is because I have "libraries" of the addresses of many charts on my computer in many HTML pages as if they were downloadable websites (only I don't download the pages because they are already here). I wrote them in a simple HTML editor.

Part of my own private analysis is a multiple regression model where I have "tuned" the study on the basis of historic highs and lows in prices. Actually, it was this which put me into the gold stocks (AU) in Jan 2001. I also do other long-term studies (trends, cycles etc) on data which goes back 24 years.

Terry, is this good or bad?

"Puncturing the debt ceiling would risk an unprecedented default and could upset financial markets, adding to corporate accounting woes that are weighing on stock prices and have pressured the dollar to almost two-year lows against the euro."
