Wow - brilliant vid!

Seems a reasonable question Jon; but the Earth (like human beings, even those participating in the Dow) is an inert object and responds to stimuli. There is your connection!

Looking at those videos it looks pretty ert at the moment!

If someone comes across the date (and if possible the time) in 1918 that Katla erupted (or indeed when there was a "minor" eruption in 1955), please post on here or PM me and I will try and work out when the relevant conditions will be "similar" in the future.

According to "Iceland on the web":

.... 12 October 1918

.... it lasted for 24 days

I'm thinking thank God Labour are out. If he's right, Gordon Clown would have thrown money at the economy until we rivalled Zimbabwe as a fked up third world country.

... as you know, I am not looking at Dow at the moment, but as we are more than half way now through the current bear cycle, which started in January 2000, my guess is that we have seen the worst of it

...I could be wrong, but Prechter should have seen enough charts over the years to realise that the bottom price is made at (or by) the middle of a cycle and as we’ve gone past that, there is more chance of Sepp Platter deciding and announcing live in Madrid on Spanish TV, whilst only wearing one of NW's orange thongs, that Lampard’s goal against Germany was a goal and that we should take the FIFA World Cup Trophy from Spain, get all the teams back to Africa and re-run the World Cup tournament from the kick off following Lampard’s reinstated goal, than the Dow heading south as far as 1,000!

... always be wary of the market “gurus” that make their money from subscriptions to their news letters or from commissions charged on the buying/selling of shares or from books/courses they sell to those that know less than them

... I know for a fact that Prechter had very close contact with the requisite basic knowledge over 20 years ago to have worked out, if he had the nouse, the exact time the Dow would bottom out, so to read him say the Dow would bottom “between about 1,000 and 3,000 points over the next five to seven years” is too vague. If he really knew what he was talking about, he should be able to tell us the exact day and time the Dow would bottom

to five decimal places.

I did actually know a bloke who claimed to do this.

I am not joking.

Despite the fact that the Dow is only quoted to 2 decimal places.

There are probably more nutters in financial markets than in mental institutions.

If he was he may have actually have made a few squid out of it.
