A Rite of Passage

This is the new world order
Plague upon our peers
Spreading accusations
Of radical fears

The brotherhood of wisdom
Strength and dignity
Its rituals and secrets
Remain a mystery

Beneath the ever watchful eye
The angels of the temple fly

Turn the key walk through the gate
The great ascent to reach a higher state
A rite of passage

The final stage a sacred home
Unlock the door and lay upon the stone
A rite of passage

Men of wealth and power
Influence and fate
Philosophers and leaders
Are members of the trade

Bound by open honor
Like the rose and cross
An enigmatic union
An esoteric flux

Beneath the ever watchful eye
The angels of the temple fly

Turn the key walk through the gate
The great ascent to reach a higher state
A rite of passage

The final stage a sacred home
Unlock the door and lay upon the stone
A rite of passage

Turn the key walk through the gate
The great ascent to reach a higher state
A rite of passage

The seven stars the rising sun
A perfect world a new life has begun
A rite of passage

It aint over til it's over

“Something strange happened during the last 7 or 8 weeks. Doreen you probably can concur on this -- there was a power underneath the market that kept holding it up and trading the futures. I watch the futures every day and every tick, and a tremendous amount of volume came in a several points during the last few weeks, when the market was just about ready to break and shot right up again. Usually toward the end of the day – it happened a week ago Friday, at 7 minutes to 4 o’clock, almost 100,000 S&P futures contracts were traded, and then in the last 5 minutes, up to 4 o’clock, another 100,000 contracts were traded, and lifted the Dow from being down 18 to up over 44 or 50 points in 7 minutes. That is 10 to 20 billion dollars to be able to move the market in such a way. Who has that kind of money to move this market?
...This is how Dan Shaffer, President of Shaffer Asset Management, gave shocking evidence of direct government intervention in the stock market the other day on Fox Tv.

So, there is finally someone who is exposing the operations of the so-called PPT (Plunge Protection Team) and it is surely at work in these days (not to say months).

My question is this: what does the PPT buy? And with what money? Taxpayers money? What budget does it run on? UNLIMITED?
These questions are haunting me now and for the next days...months since there seems to be no signal of a pullback (more than expected by now) over shocking bad economic news that is still bringing us to the same 'ol same 'ol BAD=GOOD.

Food for thought and I'd appreciate any comments.

May 11th.....is it coming or....going?

Hi, itsme!
A quick post just to say one thing: BE CAREFUL!
Last night's stress test release was no shocker. It was actually in line with the "leaks"......funny....
If we never had the leaks, does any of you think we'd have a good reaction?
Come on! Let's get real here.
The March '09 is still in....and who knows for how long it will be in fashion: LESS THAN EXPECTED!

1. financials are NOT sound! They're in pain, not to say "bankrupt!".
2. commercial real estate bubbel going to implode anytime soon.
3. unemployment. 8.9%
4. bla bla bla (u name it)

HOW FAR UP DO "THEY" WANT TO MAKE THIS BUILDING? HOW MANY "STORIES"? And by that I not only mean floors! LOL

Cheerz and BE CAREFUL!!!!!

P.S.
Here my first video posting on Youtube today....
