28233 the waves say... -- rank: 1000
My nutty gurus at the Elliott Wave Theorist <http://www.elliottwave.com> say that the strong move upwards in U.S. stocks is over, and the exciting third wave of the bear market is about to begin. In Elliottworld, major trend moves break down into five waves, up, down, up, down, up. The first upwave is when it all gets started; it can be strong, but it's usually met with skepticism. The third wave is usually the strongest, and when the "point of recognition" comes - a broad recogn ...

28237 Radio Henwood -- rank: 1000
I thought it went well. I don't agree with lots of what he said, but we were quite friendly to each other. Unfortunately, he had a coughing fit that chewed up 3-5 minutes, which is a near-eternity in radio time. He said it was because he hadn't had a cigarette in too long.

Guardian (London) - November 8, 2002 Florence besieged by army of freethinkers. FLORENCE -- Florence was yesterday under siege, not from hordes of violent anti-capitalists intent on destroying the city's artworks, as the Italian prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, predicted earlier this week, but from legions of emerging political and social ideas which many believe could refresh global democracy and the traditional European left. While the authorities have played up a possible repeat of the Geno ...

Naomi Klein is the pre-eminent figure (she would deplore the term "leader&q ...
