well dang Kenneth..didnt get to have a tete tete...(i forgot how you spell that) with the cable guy..headed out of town...so still no cable in my bedroom To: +Thomas C (30075 ) From: +Thomas C Saturday, Oct 3 1998 1:00PM ET Reply # of 30084 I have noticed a relationship which I think could have enormous conseqences for the next 2 weeks or so. There appears to be a coincidental relationship right now on 3 counts. 1. The chart price pattern from our July 17th peak 1998 to the current follows the 1929 peak to second mini peak pattern. 2. The downward trendline in both periods clarifies the relationship of the similarities of price patterns. 3. And perhaps most importantly, the phase of the moon due on this Monday the 5th 1998, will be a full moon. LIKEWISE, the phase of the Moon on October 18, 1929 was a full moon. But was is MOST striking is that in BOTH time periods, the point in the stock chart where the full moons occur shows an amazing correlation. It is right after we bounce off the downward trendline! On Cctober 17th 1929 there was a reversal day UP just like we had this past Friday the 2nd Oct 1998, but on the 18th of 1929 the day of the full moon, there was a hard reversal down which retraced the whole previous days gain. I guess if I had to go out on a limb and do some crazy one day prediction, I would say that Monday will bring a complete retracement of the Friday, Oct 2nd 1998 rally!!! And then the day after Tuesday should be a big GAP down which will mark the beginning of the panic cycle. Most major panics in history have been fueled by the LACK of information further fueling fear. The LTCM situation and unknowns about what else is out there suffices as a crowd panic item. Lets see if I am right!! Regards, Tom

If someone, as an expert in options, would define (with an example) a credit spread with options on OEX or SPX options, I would appreciate refining my understanding of this concept. I understand spread and straddles very well, but is a credit spread one where you have to leg into? TIA, Steve
