If there are enough shorts, and sell orders from longs before the open. The Market Makers/specialist will be the guys having to take the other side. They will gap everything sooo low that they are happy to take the other side meaning we will go down for a short while but soon the gap will fill in. Guys please don't attack each other on this board. There is enough violence in the world. Feel the love in your heart and share it with those around you, not hatred. rtharp
I hesitate to do this but I'm going to post a method to deter the so called "ants" that Hitman- who I know and respect- brands as those terrorists un-afraid of death. In fact these animals are dying to die to reap the rewards of the afterlife. Here it is-those people who strap bombs to themselves-commandeer planes- commit acts of unthinkable brutality will pay a price. Should we identify them that price will be the death-execution- of ALL their family members. I shudder at the thought of this-however, I believe it would deliver a strong message-and change the mind frame of some of these savages.
That was Hitler's approach after he was injured in a bombing and attempted coup late in WWII. I think you need to calm down and get a grip.
It is very unfortunate that some feel free here to express very basic feelings of hatred and calls for revenge and war. This is a board about trading. Enough already. Some of you are completely out of line. This thread is full of complete nonsense and should be deleted.
limbo, although this is a stomach churning discussion, this sort of thing is what Isreal does. It goes to the suicide bomber's home village and asks everyone to get out of homes, parks, offices, factories, etc. and with a couple of dozen bulldozers they level the whole area to rubble. The next suicide bomber will think twice. Sure they might think "I'll be dancing with Gabriel" but when they see the consequences on their families and loved ones, they sure think about it reeeeaaal hard. Isreal has used these methods to keep from being completely anhialated. It isn't pretty and I don't like it more than anyone else. But sometimes it takes great strength of character to stand in front of tyranny and protect innocent lives. Right now the Taliban are soiling their pants along with General Musharaf of Pakistan. The NATO forces will have to show these people that the WORLD will rain down consequences on not only those that are directly involved but those that have ANYTHING to do with them. This in my view is the only way to keep them at bay. On another note, I keep seeing American-Arab leaders come on TV and say how they are innocent and that every Muslim is not to blame for this. But I ask you, what pressure have they put on these madmen that share their beliefs? what moral suasion or financial suasion have they taken against Bin-Laden or people like him? Words are totally meaningless. Actions such as the funneling of money to terrorist groups speaks much louder. When I see each and every Muslim in the world DOING SOMETHING to stop madmen like Bin-Laden, then they are ok in my book.
Qbism-Hitler deja vu my ass. Do you have a better idea???If- and when you do I'll get a grip. Until then I stand by my statement-----Babak--Yes I know Israel's approach- it is filled with kindness and humanity telling all to leave the area-It hasn't worked-mine takes it a step further. I lost two friends in the world trade center. I want these animals stopped
History As I've been doing some research thought I'd give you a few ideas of what happens in bad times. Start of Korean War June 26, 1950 we dropped -4.6% and over the next 4 days another -2.2% Suez Canel Crisis Oct 31, 1956 We dropped -1.4% and the next 4 days rose 2.4% so it ended positive Khrushchev in U. S. Sept 14th 1959 dropped -1.9% but rose within 4 days 2% so another positive Arms Blockade in Cuba Oct 23rd 1962 dropped -1.9% and rose in the next 4 days 3.8% another positive Kennedy Assassination Nov 22, 1963 -2.9% and then rose 5.7% over the next 4 days. another positive overall The majority of times we tend to go up afterwards. rtharp
As the market will open I'll buy stocks for contrast the perverse purpose of America's enemies and flowers in memory of the victims. I cry for them.
limbo, instead of killing their families.. lets just start greasing our "anti-terrorism" munitions in pig fat.. muslims believe that if they die touching something unclean then they arent allowed to go to Allah.. so, lets take away their motivation for being a suicide bomber.. remember also that if you just kill the families then under musilim beliefs, the family also gets a free pass to heaven.. its much better to destroy everything they own, and perhaps cripple them rather than kill them outright.. -qwik
