GET OUT NOW !!! ...My interpretation of <Nostradamus Prediction> <Nostradamus Predictions> >>prediction regarding the "3 tailed comets" >> plunging to the Earth 24 degrees south of the equator and >> >>destroying cities and ports. Folks, I hate to say this, but I see a have a much bleaker interpretation of Nastradamus' prediction. Read it closely and then re-read it a few times and I think you to will become very worried. MY INTERPRETATION: 1. "plunging to the Earth 24 degrees south of the equator" (folks, this is by far the worst part of the message. You may want to sit down before reading any further). The 'equator' plainly represents 'analysist expectations'. Correct me if Im wrong, but I believe the consensus is .17 cents. Subtracting .24 from .17 gives an EPS of (.07). WOW, thats bad news. 2. "3 tailed commet destroying cities and ports" (the message gets better here, but you will have to stay home to profit from it) The '3 tailed commet' representents the after shocks of the above earnings announcement. It means that COMS will have 3 dead-cat bounces before settling near the low for the day. The people and instituttions who buy off the lows (represented by cities and ports)will get burned as they incorrectly assume that the bottom has been reached and everything is up from there. The only way you will be able to profit by this action is to short the 3 spikes (dead-cat bounces) and cover 3 times when the stock touches its low for the day. I know this news is not good, but there you have it. You may want to sell tomorrow, short tomorrow, or buy puts tomorrow, to avoid the impending disaster.
