Did you see the results of the Mid Atlantic $500k Tournament? midatlantic500000.com My Father-in-Law captains the boat that caught the heaviest Dolphin (prize $10k.) Look at the prize money the White Marlin brought in. Less boats = more money. (the Tournament used to draw near 200 boats this year barely 130) Is that a metaphor for our stock market? The entire tournament raised & released ~350 Whites. Amazing! IMHO, I think the fish caught had something to do with Hurricane Bill. BWDIK. Tim

I found your post interesting for the first few sentences. I'm keen on the global warming issue as much as anyone and have noticed the low counts of recent sun spots as we enter cycle 24. A cooling trend is suggested. swpc.noaa.gov space-env.esa.int This is important news to anyone who trades, invests or speculates on the market. A cold winter, or a cooling trend has all sorts of implications. However I stopped being interested in your post as soon as you mentioned the Oregon Institute of Science. Anything that has to do with Dr. Frederick Seitz and the OISM has to be held at least at arms length and scrutinized very carefully. For example:- A 2006 article in Vanity Fair magazine called Dr. Seitz the "$45 million man" for the amount of money he helped R.J. Reynolds distribute for research that specifically avoided the health issues surrounding smoking. "They didn't want us looking at the health effects of cigarette smoking," Seitz admitted in the article. During the time RJR was funding the research, it used the results of the program to claim that the evidence was inconclusive about the health effects of smoking. sourcewatch.org You really need to attract scientists who are more interested in printing what is really going on. OISM have a history of some really weird ideas to say the least.
