What days like today are good for is discovering what shares show remarkable price stability, price recovery & plunge to new depths & stay there. I have a table of 840 shares that I am analyzing over plunges in the AllOrds since last April. Today is likely to be the biggest one-day plunge but there have been significant long-term dives, eg 512 points from 15/5/13 to 1/7/13. My analysis so far just confirms what I already knew, that the LICs show remarkable price stability &/or recovery with most paying good f/f dividends to boot.
does anyone stop to think that the colony (australia) was protected from the GFC because of our resources money, and its now catching up to us. Resource exports are dropping, the bigger countries like china and the US are in so much debt they can't jump over themselves, and its now all catching up to us. The smart ones (me) saw this years ago and planned. I have the absolute bare minimum cash in the bank. I have 12 months worth of food and fuel stored. And I have no faith in our governments to fix anything. There is a reckoning coming and if your not ready or have your eyes shut then be prepared for a bumpy ride down the slippery slope.
He he... gotta laugh when someone writes "no need for name calling" and then proceeds to call climate change researchers green socialists.
Yeah it's all a global conspiracy! Ooga boogah!
What's going on with Tassal (TGR)? It was up more than 3% earlier today with about five times the average volume. Does someone know something I don't?
Love it!
hmmm...the truth really is out there .. time for me to leave..not good
Chumlee you want people to do their own research rather than be 'spoon fed' by scientists.
Sorry but I doubt many people have the resources or expertise of NASA or the Royal Society or the Bureau of Meteorolgy.
Do you want people to do their own research on cancer?
Do believe in childhood vaccinations eg
Hepatitis B
Chumlee? Or is that a global conspiracy by big pharma? The answer will tell us a lot.
"$6 billion volume traded today"
"$25 billion wiped from the market"
"Biggest fall in 6 months"
Anyone got a view on Mirvac Group (MGR)? It's starting to look ok to me around $1.60. Not overly exciting but ok. Know what I mean?
Gee up: "banks are in a major uptrend" you ok gee up?
who was the bloke that went short on the financials at the end of may 2013...cant remember his name...hmmm
So many pseudo-experts have been calling the death of gold over the last few months.
Gold is on the charge again, I will bet anyone my life savings (about ten bob) that gold is above 1350 by the end of the month.
Lots of CBA calls being picked up this afternoon, let's see...who wants the $2+ dividend ?! Hell yeah!
I see AWE had an order for 400,000 shares off market at 15.52. Maybe Allan?
Anyone just see Justin Smirk's melt down on Fox Business channel? WOW. A lot of people under a lot of pressure today.
Boom! there goes the AUD......get ready to short
"Losses have accelerated this afternoon"
"tobacco smoke causing lung cancer"
Just a point of record .Tobacco smoking doesn't "cause" lung cancer it "contributes" to lung cancer.
If it caused lung cancer every smoker would have lung cancer.
Damn ACR trading halt until Thurs! This will teach me to buy "bargains". No reason given for halt either! :/
Oh cheers for the 3:17pm update!
Price query from ASX. The company should have issued a statement much earlier after the report by Macquarie. Possible failure to keep the market informed?
Time for a lie down, GS, you're beginning to talk to yourself!
I was talking to the EDs of this blog, can't you see the 3:17pm entry?
Not even the company itself has any worthy info in their announcement! Keep up the good work ED lol
Looking to the US, there's still value to be had in automakers, specifically GM. It's current stock price is $35.25, the GM 2014E dividend per share is $1.33. The implied dividend yield to current price is 3.77%. Ford's 2014E dividend yield is 2.5%. The implied GM share price at the Ford dividend yield is $53.98.
Upside potential of 50%+ based on the current relative valuation discount between GM and auto peers including Ford (+ GM is trading only above Renault on a EV/2014E EBITDAP of 2.8x).
Ding dong 5100.
and BOQ 10.90. Love it!
oh dear
You must believe everything the green Government backed IPCC tells you to.
Just like when they said 55% of the Netherlands was below sea level.
Hahaha "the green government backed IPCC"
Can you name a single 'green' government in the world?
The IPCC is no different to any other international science panel.
Are the international panels that try to address things like bird flu greenies? Do you label them health alarmists? Do you scour conspiracy sites looking for biologists who think bird flu isn't real? Do you say the biologists are just in it for the money from research grants? Do you label people who see flu as a risk sheep? Do you question the science and say 'you're not saying it doesn't exist, you just want more evidence? Do you say expensive measures carried out globally to deal with bird flu, like mass culls, research and and vaccination programs, are a waste of money? Do you say flu outbreaks have always happened, why should we worry? Do you say the fact that just about every scientist sees bird flu as a risk doesn't matter, as 'science isn't about consensus'? Do you say you don't trust 'models' trying to predict how flu outbreaks might pan out?
Or are you only ignorant about climate science?
Why would anyone believe something the IPCC corrected 4 years ago?
Checked the Arctic sea ice chart yet? LOL
For that matter the major part of the Netherlands, and parts of Belgium & France were below sea level in the past. It just depends on where the sea levels were and in the future where they get back to. The sea walls in the Netherlands are nowhere near high enough to protect against past sea levels.
I suppose all those 7 billion folk living on the planet inhaling-exhaling are the cause for the disappearing arctic ice and not to mention all that natural methane gas :)
We had one up until 5 months ago,and some of their green policies are still in place unfortunately.
No need for the personal insults Fred,I am just trying to get people to get their heads out of the sand,do some of their own research,instead of being spoon fed by the IPCC,which has an obviously green socialist ideology. Why is everyone who questions something about which it is obvious that no one knows all the answers,they are called ignorant?
My questions remain Chumlee, do you make the same demands of other scientists and other areas of science, like the example I gave of bird flu? And if not, why not?
Why do scientists have their 'head in the sand'?
And I'm sorry if it offends you but I believe people who are anti-science are indeed ignorant.
I've had a pretty good start to the year. My wife took this photo of me when I logged on to my brokerage account this morning:
"Sorry, Arctic sea ice isn't really 'recovering'"
"Clearly the ice is disappearing. Since 1979, Arctic sea-ice extent has been shrinking by about 4 percent per decade, with summer lows getting about 11 percent smaller each decade. And the volume of Arctic sea ice — which is trickier to measure — also keeps tumbling downward:"
Seems that shrinking Artic ice is an inconvenient truth.
Some of the comments to that article are more enlightened than the article itself. Take this one: That graphic is very misleading and not accurate. First off splicing instrument data to proxy data is not scientifically valid or statistically valid. Secondly all the proxy data is smoothed into 40 year bins. In other words each data point on most of the graph is the average of the 20 years before the data point and the 20 years after the data point. The satellite data at best should be the average of all the measured data points represented as a single point and even that would not entirely accurate. Linking to SkS and thier misleading graphs does not present an accurate picture.
I see so that would explain the record low in 2012? Nope. Didn't think so.
"i believe in finding out the facts for myself"
Good idea. When are you going to start?
R BA...Bad news, but not too bad please....more drop today than pick back up thursday...
How are those overseas holidays looking with a collapsing $A?
FLT short in the money by 10%.
Still cheaper than holidaying in Australia
Yep, totally agree still cheaper to spend two weeks in Greek islands than on Gold Coast.. . Not to mention how much BETTER is spending two weeks on Greek islands. Ive been doing it for last few years and have no intention of changing my plans even if AUD takes another 20% dive.
Anywhere is cheaper than holidaying in Australia!
We are our worst enemy – 'how rip of the locals in 100 easy ways' is a book that I am sure is sold to small business owners in holiday destinations. Particularly snow skiing, which is a whole new topic!
Sorry local economy, but I am not one of the rich elite, so I holiday at the beach – at the moment I only have to pay for parking… but I am sure the local councils are working on a plan.
Signed: Mr Cynical
@Gino, if you want skiing you at least go to NZ. Our southern cousin state are much better for that.
Must be why FLT is flying. He he...
"Companies associated with Mr Quinn and investment partner and valuer Rob Boylan own more than 32ha north of Dreamworld at Coomera, land that receivers are believed to be poised to sell off."
Should be great for Coomera house prices? Maybe build some more like the ones built and sold for $600k in 2004 that now sell for $500k a decade later! lmao! Just imagine how much "negative gearing" you could have got out of those beauties! Enjoy!
Aussie Al and Mitch need to get a room. Both so politically biased that they have no idea beyond party politics.
I'm raising funds for a documentary I'm planning to make. It's called "Searching for Alfa". Please make a donation. Each donor will receive a promotional badge "Searching for which bank", Searching for Lima", "Searching for Alfa", "Searching for no banks", Searching for contrarian" or "Searching for gee up".
lol...my hero allan.
Nice one old pal.
I'm guessing they are avoiding your relentless negativity and sarcastic ridicule.
I remember that alfa guy. He's the one that thought CBA at $73.35 in May 2013 was a better buy that JPM (NYSE) at US$48.40.
Now JPM is US$54.40 (up 12.4%) and on the currency conversion you have picked up another 18%.
Poor alfa.
"I'm guessing they are avoiding your relentless negativity and sarcastic ridicule."
If you can't hang with the big dogs, stay on the porch.
Post one trade confirmation!! 5% correction and you've been saying the world is going to end for 5 years hahaha
Soooo much anger and not 1 real trade. Roflmao
And you're still out of the money on mqg but I digress, you don't post @ trades you lose on. You'd be posting even more , if that's possible????hehe
Look forward to your copy and pasted reply :)
"Post one trade confirmation!! 5% correction and you've been saying the world is going to end for 5 years hahaha"
Um.. the ASX 200 is about 5000 just like it was in March 2006. Also, many of those companies listed back then have gone bust and been replaced with new companies. Further, many of the companies from back then have had capital raisings.
All trade opens are posted. How would I filter out losing trades in advance? Logic fail.
"Short CDA 63c" Where is it?
Too easy. ROFLMAO!
Chumlee, can you pick the bottom of TWE for me please? What figure should I use? Take the figure you give then subtract another 5% like WBC?
Get over it Allan,let it go,it's not a big deal.
Otherwise you may have to increase the medication again.
LOL medication. You're projecting.
Is everyone on your case? Poor thing.
Dream on .
so angry...why wildlife?
great day for the gamblers today, i dont get it??
Reread the post on projection. Maybe it will sink in the second time. He he....
Al, I think you are projecting your losses onto Chumlee. Another 5% down today are you?
Don't you just love it - billionaires and corporate multinationals act in unison to profit-take, plummet the market and it is called a "correction".
Wait for people to forget, put more superannuation and savings into shares, the buzzards come back and WHAM! Another "correction".
Ladies and gents, have you cottoned onto the scam yet?
Huge Broad losses for asx. I like it!
Watch out next week.
US Govt shut down..
Debt limit coming...

The ASX put on over 200 points in the following few weeks. Just another Allan fail.
Pollyannas gave me the opportunity to short everthing in sight, inc BOQ right up to 12.75, FMG up to 5.75. He he....
Haven't shorted a thing Allan.
No real proof, no purchase :)
"Short CDA 63c". LOL where is it?
@Not a Believer, Im not sure what your trying to say...There is no god? I agree...
Like Wwwish Lion, i believe in finding out the facts for myself, not just believing everything the green UN lefty governmental vested interest organisations want me to believe. Everyone needs to get their heads out of the sand and find out the truth,not just the spin.
The Hang Seng down over 500 points again. Oh dear...
BOQ under 11. Won't someone mention BOQ?? BOQMAN?
"Low interest rates and a lower dollar are in place providing two key building blocks for a faster growing local economy."
I disagree.
1. "Low interest rates" or previously referred to "Emergency Level" interest rates are not good for the real economy. They distort asset prices that take decades to correct (just ask Japan and the US).
2. When a currency appreciates it is a reflection of the high level of investment denominated in that currency and the risk profile of that currency. When a currency depreciates it is a reflection of falling investment and increased risk profile of that currency.
The game is up. Australia's love of gambling and debt has come home to roost. Do you know what a lower AUD and higher interest rates is going to look like in Australia? Well.. you will soon see for yourself when interest rates start rising significantly in about 18 months.
does that mean the tragedies in QLD will repeat in Sydney ? I certainly hope so. I'm ready to buy a place of my own without paying a ridiculous amount of $ !
Tom DeMark with the 1929 comparison (from yesterday). . .his levels of support were broken last night. Hmm

There's a bad moon on the rise.

I see QE cycling straight back to the Fed on .25% to recapitalise zombies.
Zombies that are still gambling...
Don't worry be happy, the DeadCat Bounce is just around the corner!
Oh your figures were correct but your conclusion was wrong which is really the most important thing isn't it. He he...
Why don't you just fess up. You read something on a climate change deniers website and swallowed the "artic ice is growing rapidly so there is no warming" hokum hook line and sinker.
welcome to the casino - lay your bets.
Don't you just love how the Libs point to the EBA at SPC as needing renegotiation because the company is in trouble and the EBA is seen as contributing to excessive costs. Now Hockey says Australia is in trouble. So don't you think that a good place to start is with the EBA that governs the conditions for our politicians. The medicine that they recommend for others they should not be shy of taking themselves in order to set the example. But are they still going to mate's weddings and footy matches and billing the taxpayer.
How about the thugs in the construction industry bro? Or the HSU? What about the moron Paul Howes, remember he was advising the RBA on exchange rate policy??
The Liberal party doesn't have to to much to Labor, the dolts in the ALP did it too themselves...
I feel for your socialist buddies mitch really. I'll cry into my cornflakes for them.
Further I believe some lady on the ABC had it right yesterday when been asked about the farmers plight. She stated that SPC is owned by Coca-Cola Amtel, last I checked they're not exactly short of a quid, so why should the government step in to subsidize/bail-out a private business? Especially one flush with cash?
Because CCL is not a charity. It does not make commercial sense for CCL to prop up a part of its business that is a long-term money loser. If the company followed normal commercial practice it would close the operation and put its workforce on the dole queue and leave it to the gov't to pay them unemployment benefits. However the company has offered to upgrade the plant, save the workers' jobs and save the gov't the cost of paying unemployment benefits and save the local fruit-growing industry in return for some gov't assistance. Only ideologically blind politicians would not take up such an offer. There is a short-term cost in providing assistance but the long term cost of saying no will be a lot higher. But that's Liberal economics for you.
It is a good offer unlike the general motors one.
Once you allow a good local company like SPC to close we will then see how much imported tinned fruit from our neighbors rises in cost, not to mention the free lead, pesticides and chemicals that are contained in these brands.
cancel negative gearing for little landlords and MP's free flights and we should be about there.
Heard on ch24 that SPC have released the EBA. Gives the big lie to what Tony Abbott was saying about the EBA being over-generous. Now is the ABC being unpatriotic in publishing information and stories making it clear that Tony Abbott was lying and unjustly trying to blame the workers & unions for the company's plight. That will be used time and time again to show that the man & his gov't cannot be trusted, particularly where ordinary workers are concerned.
All the figures I quoted about Arctic ice were correct.
"Fed is cutting the size of its cash splash because it believes the US economy is strong enough to handle the contraction"
No that isn't the only reason. The other reason is that it can't go on printing tens of billions ad infinitum.
Especially since the propping up of overpriced assets has only served to delay the inevitable major correction.
What another copied and pasted article??? One day you'll think for yourself hehe
Wwwish Lion
According to Yahoo answers, it is estimated that 80% of the Worlds 7+ Billion inhabitants believe in a God of some description.
Go ask them for proof.
There is more evidence of Man Made Anthropogenic Climate Change than there is God by an infinate margin, since there is NO evidence of a God.
what no virtual gifts today? good day for it.
oh well, next time perhaps.
"Take a chill pill and keep your powder dry, says BusinessDay columnist Malcolm Maiden"
Unless you have a controlling share or insider info, equities trading is based on sentiment and is speculative.
The market only needs to go up:
((6873 * 1.17 * 1.2)-5133)/5133
= 88%
and it's a new bull market!
I suggest no more buying until May. On the more aggresive side sell risk and buy metals and cash, more so metals.
why the forecast? let the market tell you when to get back in.
Why didn't it tell you to get onto NCM in the low 7's? He he...

"investors race to the exit"
What? No buy and hold?
Well I never!
@Alby, thanks for the link...some reading material for a little while :)
Keeping an eye on AWE. Seems to be holding up reasonably well. $1.20 would be nice. Appears very well priced even at current levels! Anyone else like this one?
I hold AWE and like their prospects and how they manage their balance sheet (eg. recent Bass Gas sale) but it has to be said you'll need to be a patient investor - SP just wobbles along. PS I think you'll get $1.20 at some point.
Sell sell sell...the magic denial has just appeared..."Don't panic...It is only a Correction".
Poor old Mitch, another 31 months of anger before the next election.
Is it too late for Paul to run for Griffith?
Yes, but not as angry as Sharman Stone pouring a bucket over Tony Abbott and calling him out for lying about conditions at SPC. The lies are being exposed on ch24 right now.
Now is the time to buy some gold shares, 25% of your intended investment
I still own the same percentage of good businesses that I did yesterday. They will continue to make good profits and pay me my share in fully franked dividends.Most likely more than they paid me last year.
Everyone continue on,the world will not end.
agree 100%!
So you bought high and now what you bought can be bought cheaper?
chumster..love your work.
i was right about the WBC in early December though...was i not?
Is 32.13 the absolute rock bottom, can't go any lower, only up from there, don't miss out, toot toot, train leaving the station price for WBC?
Yes, it makes logical sense but surely we're very emotional beings...your pants must be getting heavier by the day.
Allan,get over it. I tried to get some at the low,turned out I missed by 5%. No big problem. You shorted some SBM at 40 odd % higher than they are now.
I have been buying and holding WBC for many years so my overall position is still 23% up. Only a matter of time and WBC will be $34 plus.
Correction, Allan went long SBM ,
just so used to him shorting everything.
So the answer is "no"? I can't believe it!
Unlike some,I am capable of saying it,,,I was wrong at the time. At least I had the guts to make a plan and do it.
Buy some now Al.
They are great value for a long term investor like yourself.
See what reperccusions take place when HK/Sing markets open and the wave breaks again....
Bought one ANZ @ $29...just a single one...will frame it to show my future grand-kids how high banks used to trade just before the Global Depression.
(if anyone interested I will sell it as a valuable collection at around $1.5million).

"Such as looking at NOAA/NASA's latest 2013 Global Temperature charts"
You have already proven you can't understand basic charts with your Artic ice howler.
Oh and NASA has a whole site dedicated to climate change:
"Both the extent and thickness of Arctic sea ice has declined rapidly over the last several decades."
"The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is very likely human-induced and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented in the past 1,300 years"
Ooh look, they use the word "warming"!
I recall reading a couple of articles published in The Age not so long ago, that the US economy was on the comeback, far from finished and not going into decline.
How wrong can supposed experts be! Maybe the pro American authors of same were trying to promote false hopes to bolster fading morale there.
Unless you got a controlling share in a business investment is pure speculative based on sentiment.

"The foundation believes that climate change is a major issue facing all of us, particularly poor people in developing countries"
It's not one or the other. That's a weak denier tactic. Try again.

It is definitely not growing rapidly.
Where is your rebuttal Chumlee?
3.6 million in 2012.
5.1 million in 2013.
Your numbers are correct. What is your conclusion? Is the amount of Artic sea ice in a down trend or up trend?
Can't wait to see how Abbott mops react to the deepening financial crisis and the LNP supporters lecturing us about missteps by ALP in the last GFC or no GFC in this country.
Well if they stay true to their stated policy when the GFC hit and refuse to take Treasury advice because they don't trust Treasury, they will likely claw back spending and refuse to provide any stimulus. The result will be masses of newly unemployed all demanding Centrelink benefits and no longer paying tax on wages. The Liberal response will be to label them all "dole bludgers" and make their miserable lives even harder. Worked fine for John Howard. As for SPC & Holden and as Sharman Stone has pointed out, what you refuse to spend on job assistance will be paid out several times over in unemployment benefits and lost taxes on wages & profits. Liberal economics writ large.

The only people who lose big money in the share market are the gamblers who borrow money to buy them and are forced to sell in these situations. History shows that outright owners buy within their financial limits, ride it out, collect the dividends and live happily ever after.

Yes, quite right but we get bailed out...you don't.
my investment properties are a global safe haven. they never down and rents always go up. gonna go to some auctions on the weekend and bid myself up to a couple hundred grand above reserve. i'm so rich I might even be able to afford some english classes haha! just don't tell anyone how much debt i'm in. oh dear...
If only more people did their own research like Wwwish Lion.Such as looking at NOAA/NASA's latest 2013 Global Temperature charts,which clearly show that in 1998 the temp was 0.62 deg.above average,and now in 2013 after CO2 has increased dramatically,the temp is now only 0.60 deg.above the base average.
In on ACR @ 2.10.... think of all those grumpy old men that need the testosterone! Fountain of youth!

and to be honest, if I were a grumpy old man, I would prefer the test shots and feel like a 20-something (with potential risk of an earlier heart attack), than be a grumpy miserable old man until the end.

just missed CCL @ 11.50 buy order.....come on down.franked divd coming up soon.
Just as some people discount the available science around global warming, and it is perfectly within their rights to do so even if I do believe that they are ignoring the bleeding obvious, there are also those who discount the science around tobacco smoke causing lung cancer, the Liberal Party amongst them. However the opposition to the latter science is dying out as the disbelievers get their diagnosis.
It's been getting "hit hard" every second week for the past few months, but always comes back. So today is really no surprise, unless you sold at a discount.
"sold at a discount"? You sure you didn't just "buy at a premium"?
I didn't just buy perspective.
Poor old Electricity Bill, stuck with the carbon tax and now Andrews has canned him up in an SPC container. Getting yourself in a very tight spot Shorty

355 ACR @ 2.105 top up again as price is slashed for no apperent reason? US xposure i guess,better reset the buy/sell spread. wtf goes on....
I've topped up on them too. Those who bid the price up to $2.59 last week when their 4th quarter sales results were announced, which were quite good, must be feeling nicely toasted. I cannot believe how far the price has fallen but see that as a buying opportunity in anticipation of further good sales results in $US and the special dividend. Perhaps the price fall is being "engineered." I have seen that happen many times.
Oh I just posted about ACR didn't see this post to comment on instead. Yep I'm in at 2.10 too! I will make some people and call it a "buying opportunity" hehe :)
Whoops meant to say....
"...make some people *LAUGH and call it a "buying opportunity" ;)
Just dumped my ACR. Don't need the FDA hanging over a stock. Will write off the losses against gains on SPPs. Why no announcement from the company and a Trading Halt.
Macquaire had an Underperform rating yesterday, 10% drop today.
I first heard about the Test/Heart Attack link yesterday in the general news. But didn't expect <2.10, wasn't even planning on buying.
I'm not really worried, I think this isa good entry price & American males 50+ love the stuff. Nothing is even proven yet!

Straight to voicemail thanks! :)
Hello...no no sorry, No comment, I have no recollection of such trades...I hit my head, lost my memory...I also hear voices...
Anyone know a link to that chart on here yesterday showing correlation between 1929-33 and today? Thanks in advance.
ED: Here's the chart from yesterday's blog - go to 4.44pm: http://www.smh.com.au/business/markets-live/markets-live-retail-cheer-amid-gloom-20140203-31vog.html.

A great example of how you can present data to support an argument. The 1928 increase appears to be around 75% while the apparent same increase in 2013 is around 25-30%...
LCM tanking down 23% glad i got out in Nov,writing on the wall for mining services...the tap is definately turned off.
Another very sensible comment from Harry Rogers. The green UN and governments around the world are now spending billions of taxpayer dollars on green schemes ,all to the detriment of real problems like poverty,pollution and diseases.
China and India are projected by EIA to cause about 95% of the 30% increase in CO2 over the next 20 years. What should we do about that?

@ Alby, can you add the link (yes i do want to read some).
@Harry, i know, notice most have no info so resort to trying to shame you into not asking questions by bullying and name calling.....
I have stated im not saying its not real, im looking to understand the science and form my own opinion, not follow the heard mentality. If this is important (and i think it is) we should all read it and be truely informed..
Any thoughts on SXY, COO, or VTG. I have had Senex before and did alright, they seemed to have dipped lately and guidance is still on track.

The only way to save manufacturing is wages deflation until anyone in any manufacturing related industry is on Chinese wages. However, lawyers, politicians, doctors, bankers and RBA board members stay on $300k + salaries.
Yes yes, we like that. A new class of Australians are emerging as we planned...the obeying class, the subservient class, the mortagee class, the slaves....their remuneration should only be enough to cover their sustenance, nothing additional. Back to my earl grey and oyster plateau (receipt kept for tax purposes).
Well maybe people should start buying quality over quantity. I do. Buy that 1000.00 bag instead of 10 50 dollar ones.

How dare the ABC report on a Liberal MP contradicting her leader. How unpatriotic can they be. The ABC must be taken off the air immediately. It's a nest of lefties conspiring to bring down this wonderful gov't.
Annoyed me that when interviewing Tony Abbott yesterday and Abbott pointed out that the ABC in reporting the claims made by asylum seekers was implying the Royal Australian Navy were engaged in 'effective' torture, that she did not chase him on that point, and confirm with him that 'were the allegations to be found to have substance', he would consider it an act of torture'.
Would love to have seen him back peddling very quickly from his agrressive position.
'Relax people, It's only "PRETEND" money. It never actually "EXISTED" in the Real World, just blips on a screen somewhere...no Big deal, plenty more where that came from.
We can always just PRINT some more and drive Asset prices back up hey?'
Isn't that how the "Game"'works theses days?.
Well said indeed....$20b wiped out? If it can be "wiped out" so fast it really means it never existed...turn on that printing machine...print print, print damn it...
You are correct, though most people in the game think that it is the most important blips on screens of nothing that has ever existed, & that their world cannot go on without it! All while their relationships with real people & their own families suffer because their blips are not enough to cover their debts & interest on those blips. There will be a very big crash in the coming years & all debt will be taken over & owed to the IMF / World Bank as decreed by the UN as they come to the rescue of the false interest failings of everyone.
People, your interest should be in that of your family & friends, & not of those blips on your screens.
"your interest should be in that of your family & friends, & not of those blips on your screens"
I see, so it's one or the other. Strange world the wounded bulls live in. He he...
I'd stay put until next week, because Friday is another debt level deadline for the US.
The 10.26 post is a good reminder to those who always say the ASX always follows the Dow down but never up. We've outperformed America and Japan so far this year.
But what about the Kiwis? Must be all those rich footy players!
You are talking about markets that are outperforming but they are all going down. Don't bother doesn't make me feel good.

"PRINCE Charles has called people who deny human-made climate change a "headless chicken brigade'' who are ignoring overwhelming scientific evidence.
Charles said it was "baffling ... that in our modern world we have such blind trust in science and technology that we all accept what science tells us about everything - until, that is, it comes to climate science''."
There are a couple of headless chooks running around the markets blog. Where are you Chumlee? He he...
Charlie should have listened to his own scientists at the UK.Met. Office who said''Global mean surface temperatures have been relatively flat over the most recent 15 years to 2013''.
Maybe he doesn't have much faith in them after their involvement in the''Climate gate'' scandal.
@Chumlee perhaps surface temperatures have been flat but the heat is going into the oceans, 70% of the world's surface area. That means more volume in the oceans hence rising levels, more evaporation and increased frequency & severity of storms & flooding. Avoid insurance companies.
He did.
"The final paper shows that the recent pause in global surface temperature rise does not materially alter the risks of substantial warming of the Earth by the end of this century. Nor does it invalidate the fundamental physics of global warming, the scientific basis of climate models and their estimates of climate sensitivity."
You didn't.
I must admit if I wanted to increase credibility on an issue i would use Prince Charles as an authority....LOL
They would say that wouldn't they, considering their jobs depend on it,especially after getting 13 out of their last 14 yearly forecasts wrong. Always to the warm side.
What a coincidence.
You quoted them now you don't like them. You're confused poor thing.
How about that ice eh?
And les adopts the tried old Australian method of debating - play the man not the ball.
It doesn't matter whether I like them or not. I am just passing on what they have said,since our media doesn't.
And they said there is rapid loss of sea ice. Why didn't you pass that on?
Billions wiped of markets, peoples' retirement savings and subsequent well being eroded, millions suffering deprivation due to imminent economic collapse, entire sovereign states under pressure of collapse.

Cheer up gee up. You ok?
Fair point wiseman. It just baffles me how some think it is the government's job to prop up a share price. This is coming from somebody who holds CCL.
There are a few stocks going up today - not just goldies eg. BKN. Intriguing. Presumably some special factors and strong buyer enthusiasm.

Seems to be a lot of immature analysts out there . In 1933 they didn't have computerised trading and 84 years ago the size of the market was minuscule.
Some educated reality would help. Also one may ask …so what??
So the babyboomers' super takes another hit as they approach retirement.
Isn't it nice that our policiticians are protected by their unfunded, guaranteed, defined benefit scheme pension which means they won't suffer?
They get no sympathy from me. Anyone approaching retirement who still has a substantial holding in equities is either greedy, foolish or receiving very bad financial advice.
You mean the scheme that closed down well over ten years ago now ?
Well 5100 is nigh. The blog champ looks like he will get his chance at the mother of all shorts.

Are we there yet?
i am waiting hehe
wonder how much money will be WIPED back on tomorrow??
no need to panic tim, all is good, this is exactly what the markets need. hang on to your hat, get on to your favourite hobby for another few days and then join the giant wave up after this correction.
We never wipe from the back to the front mate, always the other way.
Transfield Services (TSE) as a takeover target anyone? Share price continues to tank in a space where some consolidation seems inevitable. TSE seem the most vulnerable to me.
I watched the TSE SP soar to $1.5 on the back of analyst recommendations only to collapse back all with no really compelling change. Takeover maybe? There doesn't seem to be the appetite that used to exist for M&A.
I love the way they say they need extremely strong non farm payroll numbers to stabilize markets. It's the Dec/Jan figures and half of America was under ice. Hello. Meanwhile the Aussie market is now almost back to where it was 4 years ago. Why are we going down as much as them every time and not going up
No PPT or Plunge Protection Team
What days like today are good for is discovering what shares show remarkable price stability, price recovery & plunge to new depths & stay there. I have a table of 840 shares that I am analyzing over plunges in the AllOrds since last April. Today is likely to be the biggest one-day plunge but there have been significant long-term dives, eg 512 points from 15/5/13 to 1/7/13. My analysis so far just confirms what I already knew, that the LICs show remarkable price stability &/or recovery with most paying good f/f dividends to boot.
What is an LIC?
Listed Investment Company.
These companies invest in shares on the ASX and while the prices of the companies they invest in can gyrate wildly, the prices of these companies remain relatively stable.
LIC = listed investment company. Mitch posted this useful article yesterday, containing a list of them.
Interesting. Based on dividend yield I'll be keeping an eye on ALF and CDM. I generally prefer my dividends to pay more than the interest I could get for keeping my money in the bank.
Basic. Don't overlook WAM. around 7% return plus staedy capital growth to boot.
What does LIC stand for?!
ok - this is going to show how new to all this I am but what do you mean by "LICs"
Eds: Hi Julia - lucky last comment! LICs are listed investment companies.
Just like Peter Pan the ASX the market that never grew UP.
It doesn't really matter...we still have Real Estate to save us; ok, most of them & the quality ones belong to the Chinese, but we can still fool ourselves...
Buy buy buy...borrow borrow borrow...veneer cage, today special, only $700k...LOL!
Lower stock market = bullish real estate, the only safe haven!!!
Something tells me there will no longer be any consecutive tapering months!
yes I had a feeling the markets would do this to Janet as she entered office. Pity I didn't structure my portfolio accordingly....
I've been here and seen that before. Nothing to look at really; just keep moving along.
Why such glee? World economies 'tanking' not really, asides from some 'short' profits, not really in our collective interest.
SHORT SHORT SHORT $$$$$$ as US plunges back into recession and the world plummets into the eternal ABYSS ....LEGEND!!!
Easiest 100k per hour ever made, roflmao!!
"...plunges back into recession"? Since when the US has been out of recession...it's all been an illusion designed to fool people and take their money. The US is heading for the D word...Deflation and Depression...inevitable and unavoidable.
you aint seen nothing yet
"Fasten seatbelts"? What? You don't need seatbelts when the plane's going down...you need a parachute! Hang on, you need two parachutes...one for yourself, and the other for your money.
Too late, the brokers & analysts have taken all the 'chutes, you're on your own.
Today is one of those days where you just shouldn't look at the prices of your stocks for your own peace of mind.
Agreed. It's also not a day to sell, IMO.
On days like this I like to go outside, go to the cafe, see the world is still turning and functioning and making money. Unnecessary market gyrations again. Large investors playing with SMSF and ordinary peoples' investments.
A good day to average down and top up on those that pay good, fully-franked dividends. I have my list for days like today.
I am practicing using my new canon eos550d zoom lens 55-250mm. Awesome hehe
@Wildlife, what's the shutter speed. Is it fast enough to capture the market value of your portfolio disappearing.
Oh Dear.
...told you so....(smug smile.)
The scientists are changing their minds...
The article seems to be predicated around the supposed "lack of warming" or "the Pause". Lack of warming, I wish, with one heat record after the other being broken in Australia, we're not even in El Nino, and America suffering from record cold, not just the weather but the climate is changing. Ignore the evidence all you like, bury your head a little deeper in the sand, your butt just sticks out more for the eventual good, swift kick.
@mitch, I will repeat once again, please point me to the science that provides proof. I am happy and capable to read it but noone can show me the science, only articles of scientist saying they are confident it is real...Anyone?
P.s. Im not saying its not real, but i like to make informed opinions not just follow the masses of if you dont believe you must have your head in the sand, if you dont believe you will go to hell, if you tell anyone climate change isnt real god will punish you
My understanding is that over 30 years ago nobody knew global warming existed. Then scientists discovered it was, and convinced people by demonstrating the science.
Then moneyed interests realised that doing something to slow the increase in temperature would harm their profits, so they funded think tanks and scientists to try and spread dissent and were wildly successful.
It's really not difficult to understand how more greenhouses gases in the atmosphere causes increased global average temperatures. I was taught how in year 6 (back in 1998).
Lost cause, he probably doesn't accept the theory of gravity either. Just as well Newton had the intelligence to analyse what his eyes told him when he saw that apple fall.
We wish Lion, there is as much, if not more, published science on this than any other field. If you haven't read it, it's not the fault of scientists.
Do you make such demands of other realms of science? No. Because Rupert Murdoch and oil companies haven't turned other realms of science into an infantile left wing v right wing political issue. Climate science has nothing to do with left v right, but some scientific illiterates seem determined to view it as a left wing conspiracy. Is gravity a left wing conspiracy? DNA? Vaccines? Is your doctor a Bolshevik? Stephen Hawking a pinko socialist?
LOL Garth Paltridge is an industry funded denier, part of the "Galilieo Movement" along with (not a Lord) Monckton, Bob Carter, S. Fred Singer and Ian Plimer .
All old news and already responded to by the scientific community
@Basic, you were told in year six and never asked why/how.
Carbon is now at 400 parts per million and has been rising every year, the earths long term norm is 280 parts per million. The "models" predicted we would have already been an extra 2 degrees warmer but its not. So now scientists dont use the word warming, its change, we dont know how it will change but we will claim anything that happens, even if its statistically impossible to prove.
Oh and you're not looking for proof, you're using transparent tactics to push the climate change denier agenda because you're angry that your coal shares have been smashed. Personally I'm happy about it.
@Wwwwish Lion
Here is a list of approximately 12,000 scientific journals i.e. actual studies not articles.
They cover all peer-reviewed abstracts on the subjects of 'global warming' and 'global climate change' published between 1991 and 2011
34 reject human influenced climate change.
Once you've read the remaining 11,970 we can talk
@mitch, you are making my point, you repeat its real but cant show it, you are a sheep.
According to the theory with our current carbon level we should have a lot more warming, but its not...Why mitch?
Wwwish Lion
Time has past where they allow you to make intelligent comments and question anything on this issue.
It's all become totalitarian on this issue. I'm ambivalent about the real causes but always get involved when the masses condemn alternative points of view.
So many issues out there Islam,Homosexuality, Immigration.. that if you raise obvious points about the herd mentality you are pilloried.
Reminds me of a few countries around the world .
@Might_Zeus RE:Yesterday
Yea, I haven't read much of Pettis' blog of late, but I had a look yesterday, and this is a great article!
@confused...... Still confused? Still upbeat, she'll be right mate. Don't like it leave and all that?

Sure do! Nicely fattened up, the dumb beasts are being carted off. Wait for the fund managers to state "it's a buying opportunity..."

|Enrollment up
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
While the official school count is subject to change until the finalization date of Nov. 10, preliminary figures presented at the Oct. 6 school board meeting show a sizeable increase in enrollment from one year ago.
Actual students in K-12, as well as other programs such as alternative high school, preschool, BOCES services preschool and GED totals 634. This is an increase of 26 from one year ago, according to Supt. Bret Miles.
The funded count is anticipated to be 575, which is up 11 from what the 2009-10 preliminary budget was built on.
Miles noted he hopes to have the final budget to the board the second meeting in November.
Enrollment in K-12 cites 300 students in grades K-5, 288 in grades 6-12 and 13 in Holyoke Alternative High School.
Summarizing the details of the enrollment report, Supt. Miles noted elementary classrooms range from 16-22 students per class.
JH core class averages range from 14.8-19.7; HS academic class averages range from 7.5-16 students; and HS elective class size averages are in the 8-15 student range.
Student-teacher ratios, including all teachers, are 11:1 at the elementary school, 15:1 at JH and 12:1 at the HS level.
Miles pointed out the use of teacher aides reduces student-adult ratios at the elementary school, especially in reading.
Budget consideration requested for elementary art education
Asking the school board to make art a priority in the district, Phillips County Arts Council (PCAC) representatives Teresa Mailander and Dorothy Ortner addressed the board at last week's meeting.
Mailander asked for 2010-11 budget consideration to reinstate regular elementary school art classes, which were cut for this school year.
"We hope cuts can be made in other areas that are less critical to the academic achievement of our children," said Mailander.
If there aren't sufficient funds to offer regularly-scheduled fine arts classes in all three schools, Mailander noted PCAC strongly recommends that available resources be focused on the elementary students.
In advocating for consistent art education in the elementary school, Mailander cited extensive research substantiating the benefits of exposure to art education for that age group.
A letter from Secretary of Education Arne Duncan brought attention to the importance of the arts as a core academic subject and part of a complete education for all students.
Mailander added, "It's a well-known fact that learning about the visual arts cultivates self-expression, imagination and creativity, as well as critical thinking and problem solving skills."
Acquainting the school board with PCAC's work, Mailander emphasized the group's commitment to providing varying opportunities for exposure to the arts in Holyoke and Haxtun.
She cited the annual concert series, student outreaches, "Arts Where You Are" summer program, annual art show, community garden and Paquime dancers as some of the opportunities PCAC provides.
Other business
In other business Oct. 6, the Board of Education:
—hired Jessica Deering and Sue Razo as elementary custodians; and Jane Encinias as elementary teacher aide.
—had first reading of two board policy revisions which will be on the Oct. 20 board agenda for final approval. The first updates the leaves policy to properly reflect the change in the Family Medical Leave Act.
The second updates the board bylaws to reflect the new state statute requiring audio tape recording of meetings. This has been a practice in this district for a number of years.
—approved application for Type V substitute teaching authorization for Talia Mayhugh, Laura Schroetlin and Janet Roberts.
—received a complete status update on the Superintendent's Entry Plan and goal accomplishment.
—adopted a resolution recognizing Classified School Employees Week Oct. 11-17.
—reviewed proposed resolutions to be presented at the Colorado Association of School Boards delegate assembly Oct. 16 and 17.
—met the following new teachers: Kate Shoemaker, fourth grade; Mandy Krause, resource; David Bloemker, fifth grade; and Heather Bieber, JR-SR High English.
—held a work session after the regular meeting to review the superintendent evaluation instrument.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- An 18-year-old Ann Arbor Pioneer prep football player faces charges stemming from an on-field brawl that broke out following a high school game.
A preliminary examination is to be held December 6th for Bashir Garain.
The high school senior was arraigned Tuesday and released on bond.
Garain was injured in an early season game and was on the sidelines October 12th when a fight erupted at midfield after Pioneer defeated Ann Arbor Huron 35-6.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) - Montgomery County police say a man charged with killing a law student and high school friend told officers that "I killed my buddy" after catching his girlfriend with his friend.
A police report says Rahul Gupta told officers that he killed Mark Edward Waugh, a Georgetown University law student, after walking in on his girlfriend cheating on him with Waugh.
Officers found Waugh stabbed to death inside a Silver Spring apartment that police say Gupta and his girlfriend shared. Police say the three had all been out celebrating Gupta's 24th birthday and had been drinking.
Gupta is due in court later Tuesday. His lawyer, Reginald Bours III, said his client is an "outstanding young man" and that there's nothing in his background that could have predicted this.

I think it's the dual electrode of the Bosch that causes the problems. Aside from that, it's basically the same as every other plug in production.Scott
As I understand, it's used in aviation and other critical applications to be redundant. If one electrode melts or falls off, there's another there and the motor keeps turning. I'm not sure if they chose it on the RE for emissions or some other purpose, but like lots of others here, as soon as I swapped it for an NGK my bike ran way better. Solid idle and stopped stalling.Scott
My idle TPS from factory was 0.61V. Did change it once to make it a bit 'richer', but returned it back to 0.61V. Been like that ever since.
To be honest, even with constant cleaning of the stock plug, it would end up looking quite fouled after every 300km or so. That is with the stock TPS voltage and rides lasting more than 20-30mins or even longer rides. The bike would run okay and never really showed any signs of trouble if I remember correctly. Only the idle was a bit erratic. And a lot of soot over the double electrodes, not sure why.Then I swapped to the BPR6ES after reading the feedback given here on the forum. The idle RPM had increased staight after the swap, so I decreased it. After that, everytime I've taken it out to clean it up etc on service intervals as highlighted in the manual or just for inspection, the electrode part has never shown signs of running too rich or too lean. Always has shown me light brown/tannish tinge on the electrode, with carbon deposits only on the outer ring of the plug (Surrounding the electrode). I'm running the EFI silencer with the mechanical baffle out, leaving the perma-perforated baffle in it. The system has adjusted to it well, with rare-occasional backfiring.

Solomon Grey is Joseph Wilson and Tom Kingston. The two met while studying in Oxford University, but it was during a period of work and recording in County Cork when the duo's sound really emerged. Surrounded by West Cork's gorgeous scenery, the two musicians soon found the landscape shaping and inspiring their music.
Who better then to be sent out into the countryside to distill the sound of the raw, the rugged and the regalWild Atlantic Way?
And so, in their mobile recording studio, Solomon Grey set off on a musical journey through Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way. With audio equipment galore, their mission, if they chose to accept it, was to go on a journey of inspiration, to capture the sounds of not just the land, but of the locals, too.
Now, considering that the Wild Atlantic Way is 2500km of rugged coastline, ancient castles, dazzling sunsets and colourful local characters, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a treat for the eyes only. In fact, it's more.
As Solomon Grey found out, a journey along the way is akin to diving headfirst into a thundering sea of creativity. It is a coastline where the places and the people add up to a unique experience, that insist on inspiring you.

Concord, NC (Sports Network) - Retired race car driver Richard "Dick" Trickle
passed away Thursday from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 71.
According to the Lincoln County, N.C., sheriff's department, the incident
occurred at 12:02 p.m. ET at Forest Lawn Cemetery off Highway 150 East in
Boger City.
The Lincoln County Communications Center received a call apparently from the
victim that "there would be a dead body and it would be his." Communications
Center workers tried to place a return call to the number but did not get an
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Dick Trickle on
his passing today," NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France said in a statement
released by the sanctioning body. "Dick was a legend in the short-track racing
community, particularly in his home state of Wisconsin, and he was a true fan
favorite. Personalities like Dick Trickle helped shape our sport."
Trickle achieved much of his success on short-tracks, where he won more than
1,000 races throughout his career, before joining the Winston Cup series and
earning rookie of the year in 1989 at age 48.
Trickle was winless in 303 starts at the Cup level over a 24-year career. He
never won a race on NASCAR's biggest circuit but had 36 top-10 finishes.

NEW YORK (AP) — Jimmy Page would have loved to stick with The Yardbirds, if only they didn't have to deal with singles.
Page says The Yardbirds were starting to do innovative things when they broke up. He says it was "soul destroying" to do "silly songs" for a single and have their creative songs stuck on the B-side. That all changed with Led Zeppelin.
Page says that was a guitar-based band because that's what he wanted it to be. The first three Led Zeppelin albums have been re-mastered and include bonus material. They are out this week.

On this date three years ago, Washingtonians survived a devastating blizzard that will forever live in the annals of weather history as being one of the most significant winter storms in the Metro Area. Dubbed "Snowmageddon" and the "Superbowl Storm," this winter storm spanned two days and ended early on Superbowl Sunday. The storm's first six to eight hours produced wet snow in the suburbs and wet snow and rain in the immediate Metro Area. Colder air was drawn into the storm and the snow became drier and drier but the weight of two feet of relatively dry snow on top of the first six inches of wet snow was too much to bear for many trees and shrubs. Power outages were widespread and the Federal Government even closed for four consecutive days. It took days for roads to be cleared and power to be restored due the magnitude of the 4th largest snowstorm on record for the Nation's Capital.
The 17.8 inches that fell at National Airport narrowly passed the 17.1" that fell during the January 1996 snowfall and the 16.7" that fell on President's Day 2003. Having a second Top Ten snowfall in the Nation's Capital during the same winter had not been recorded before the 2009-2010 winter as the December 2009 storm produced 16.4" at National Airport making that the 7th largest snowfall on record until the February blizzard pushed it to eighth place.
The 32.4 inches at Dulles Airport during "Snowmageddon" also set a record for largest two day snow total on record surpassing the 23.2 inches that fell during the two day snowstorm in January 1996. This storm developed as an area of low pressure along the Gulf Coast intensified rapidly. It continued to strengthen as it moved up the East Coast of the United States. This storm was a Mid-Atlantic storm as heavy snow fell in Philadelphia but not New York or Boston where under an inch fell.

Jade and Grizz pulled into the parking lot of their establishment, utterly amazed that someone had taken the time to keep up with it. After completely falling off the face of the earth and with no way to get in touch with their old friends who helped run the place, it was more than they had hoped for.
Jade looked down at the silver wedding band encircling her left ring finger and twirled it nervously. "I don't know about this Grizz." She whispered. "What if no one remembers us or car--" she was cut off by a single gentle finger from Grizz. "Shush. It will be fine. Let's have a look around."
They climbed out of the car - Jade with more than a little trepidation - and headed toward the porch.
"Uh, Jade? Aren't you forgetting something?" Grizz asked, with that familiar grin on his face.
"Oh!" Jade skipped back to the car and opened the back door, scooping up a bundle into her arms. "My Precious."

1966 Ford Mustang Gets TCP Rack-And-Pinion- Better SteeringWritten by on April 1, 2009 We Toss The Stock Steering Box On Project Street Fighter Mustang For A Tight And Tidy Rack-And-Pinion System From Total Control Products.
Street Fighter
We're swiftly moving our way through the front end of our 1966 Mustang, giving it the updates expected to make it perform. The vague steering feel was not going to fly on the street or at the track. It wasn't as wild in the lane as some 40-year-old steering systems are, but a couple new parts weren't going to cure it. Our choices were: do the best we could with a steering-box-style system by replacing all the worn joints, or start from scratch and do a rack-and-pinion conversion. We went with the rack.
Nearly all modern cars use rack-and-pinion steering because of its light weight and compact packaging. We like it because of its precision and superior road feel. The next question was whether to run a manual or power rack. Since ultimately this is a street car, and it would have some seriously sticky and wide meats on the front, power would be a whole lot easier for car show and city cruising.
To go along with the rest of our suspension, we chose Total Control Products' rack-and-pinion setup. Total Control Products is a division of Chris Alston's Chassisworks that specializes in making early Fords outperform late models. They have rack-and-pinion conversion kits for '60-65 Comets, '67-70 Cougars, '60-65 Falcons, '64-70 Mustangs, and '60-65 Rancheros. The rack itself is a direct bolt-in unit that requires zero cutting or welding to install. Instead of having the more traditional ends seen on late-model cars, this rack uses a center link that you can bolt onto the factory tie-rod ends. Because our Mustang was originally a six-cylinder, the tie-rod ends don't work with the V-8 spindles or the steering rack.
To remedy this problem, we used TCP's tie-rod ends and bumpsteer kit. Bumpsteer is a phenomenon where the wheels steer without input from the steering wheel. It's caused by incorrect steering geometry. TCP's bumpsteer kit allows you to shim the bolt connecting the tie-rod end to the spindle to give it the desired angle, which in most cases closely parallels the lower control arm. In order to make this adjustment correct, you need to have the camber, caster, and toe correct. We will be installing TCP's coilover conversion and tubular control arms at a later date, so the bumpsteer adjustment will have to wait.
These early Mustangs have an interesting way of putting their steering systems together. Unlike GM, the shaft is one with the steering box unless you disassemble it. To adapt the new rack, we replaced this assembly with a stainless steel tilt-wheel column from Flaming River. The new column bolts in the same way the old one did, but with an updated firewall mount and GM-style wiring. Our Mustang's wiring harness is a mess of shorts, so building a connector to fit the new column would be a waste of time. All the pins and the diagram were supplied with the kit, which will make it really easy when the time for new wiring comes.
The last piece to complete the steering chain of command is the steering wheel itself. We got Grant's Formula GT wheel for its simple race-inspired styling. It's also a couple inches smaller in diameter than stock at 13 inches, so it makes quick steering input a lot easier. No more twirling a 17-inch steering wheel around four times to get into the next lane!
When we pulled this Mustang into the shop, it was a sad and tired stocker without a purpose. Each improvement we've done on this car is bringing it one step closer to being a pavement-hungry supercar.

Next, it's time to ditch the factory crossmember by removing the two bolts attaching it to the frame. The rack will serve as its replacement.To get the steering box out, we removed the steering wheel, unbolted the clamp at the edge of the dash panel, and pulled the column housing out over the shaft.In order to get the steering box out of its home, the center link of the steering assembly needs to be unbolted from the Pitman arm. Once the column housing is out of the way, the box can slide out with the shaft.These Total Control Product's tie-rod ends replace the outer ball joint with a rod end to allow adjustment for bumpsteer. The camber, caster, and toe need to be set before bumpsteer can be addressed.Like the driver's side, the inner bracket on the passenger side uses the lower control arm hole. The outer passenger-side bracket uses a factory threaded insert on the underside of the frame where the crossmember was mounted. Remember to only snug down the bolts after the rack is aligned.With all three of the clamps loosely bolted to the rack, you can begin tightening them evenly so as not to bind up any portion of the rack. From this rear view, you can see the center link on the backside of the rack where you bolt the factory tie-rod ends.
Here is the old and new firewall mount. Which one would you want in your Mustang when you assault a high-speed corner? Notice how the new one from Total Control Products has a floating support ring. Instead of sheetmetal screws, the new unit uses three button head Allen bolts.Before sliding the column through the firewall, we used the supplied adhesive pads on the factory clamp bracket. This is to keep the bracket from scratching our new Flaming River column.Here's the final product. We were really happy with the clean, no-nonsense look. It will go great with what else we've got in store for this soon-to-be race car.We tightened the column clamp under the dash to secure the column's depth. At this point, you'll need to set up your new column linkage and cut your steering shaft to length. Once the column depth is set, install the U-joints on the column and the rack. Measure the distance from the face of each joint while they point at each other. Add 1 7/8 inches to this measurement to get the cut length for the included shaft. This ensures the shaft goes into each joint enough to fasten correctly. To install the shaft after being cut, slide the column out for clearance, then back down after you slip the shaft in.With the column in, install the turn signal lever. Test it to make sure it's not too tight. If it's overtightened, it can make it hard to cancel the signal without signaling the opposite direction. Next, install the steering-wheel base and components in the order shown here. It can be done on the bench, but it's much easier when the column is already mounted.

If I were to change the size or shape of the resonance hole of a guitar, how would it affect the sound of it? Would it be totally ruined or is it only a matter of retuning it?
By most accounts, not much. There is presently a huge variety of soundhole designs, here's a little Wiki stub article with some references to others:
Currently we see round, oval, "f-hole", multiple/little, soundholes on the sides of the guitar, none whatsoever, etc, etc. Much of the sound emanates from the entire vibrating surfaces of the guitar, including the back... There are several designs without any holes at all.
I think much of the variation we see is more in the name of style rather than function.
The hole itself doesn't affect the sound of the guitar. It is more the actual top (soundboard) of the guitar that generates the sound by vibrating like a drum skin. Usually, up to 80% of the sound is created from two vibration points to either side, and just below the bridge.
If you want to see which part of your soundboard is generating most of the sound - sprinkle some flour or fine sand all over the soundboard and pluck some open notes. You can then see the flour/sand settle into areas where there is no movement, and be bounced away from areas with lots of movement.
The trick is then not to damage or change the areas of maximum movement on the soundboard too much, as this will drastically affect the sound of the guitar.
Then again, if your guitar is TOO bright and you want to dampen the sound down a bit, you can stick bits of blu-tack or plasticine under the soundboard at these vibration points to dampen them a bit. Classical guitarsts do this quite often.
If you enlarge your hole in the guitar, it provides a higher, louder sound. If you want a lower, richer sound, get a guitar that has a smaller soundhole.
I hope this helps ;)

Aseptic necrosis of the hip is the death of bone tissue in the head of the femur due to an inadequate blood supply.
Certain bones have a fragile blood supply. The head of the femur in the hip joint is the most likely to suffer loss of blood supply. This can cause tissue death.
Any event or condition that damages the arteries that feed the head of the femur raises the risk of aseptic necrosis. The most common events are fractures in the upper femur and dislocations of the hip, especially developmental dysplasia of the hip. Other causes reduce the blood supply by closing off or compressing the blood vessels.
