 have not seen the kind of “blow-off” action yet that has accompanied major market reversal points in the past, most notably those in 2000, 2003, 2007, and 2009. So I want to be on guard against the possibility if trading becomes frothy.
Market history shows that insiders tend to sell holdings shortly before market tops or short-term corrections. Generally speaking, the more aggressive the sales, the more serious the following correction.
A 9-to-1 selling ratio is significant because it resembles extremes associated with other major market turning points in recent history.
While not a fait accompli, investors should tread lightly under the circumstances. They should also take appropriate action to ensure their portfolios are not ravaged if a substantial correction does, in fact, materialize. Examples include tightening up trailing stops, purchasing put options, going “long” volatility or buying specialized inverse funds – all of which can take the sting out of a sudden reversal while also preserving upside and income.
My fear is that we’ve already reached the point where there is so much money sloshing around that the next “big thing” from Team Fed may actually be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. But that’s another story for another time.
Thank goodness protection is cheap at the moment. Assuming, of course, insiders know something “we” don’t.

Expedition 50 Commander Shane Kimbrough and Flight Engineer Peggy Whitson spent 20 minutes answering questions from students, who have been preparing for months for the “Skype from Space” event by doing space-related research and projects.
I felt a momentary dejection when someone I was convinced was a match, based on his photos and the briefest of descriptions, didn't match with me. I Tindered on work trips and vacation, meeting up a couple times with people in New York — just to see, I told myself — and became fascinated with the differences among the photos of guys in Norway (lots of skiing), Boston (lots of Red Sox caps), and Israel (lots of shirtless pics).
In an interview with a surf magazine, Burrow claimed he had initiated the break-up when a picture of Tozzi in romanticly suggestive poses with American oil-heir Brandon Davis appeared on the internet while Tozzi was on assignment in the United States.
The Grass Barrier Clamp Kit is used to connect one piece of Grass Barrier to another. This can be used to attach separate rolls together OR connect the ends of a round installation.
Needed Supplies: (2x) 7/16 wrench, Cordless drill, and a ¼” drill bit, will be needed to drill through the assembly and fasten the nuts and bolts.
Overlap both ends of the barrier, leaving enough to cover the width of the clamp.
Align the Grass Barrier clamps on both sides of the material. To ensure the clamps are vertical, position the top of the clamps to the top of the barrier material.
After clamps are aligned, position bit in the hole and drill through both sides of the barrier.
Secure the first hole with the provided nuts & bolts, then drill the next hole and repeat.
Secured clamps should appear as this. Clamps are on both sides of the barrier material and bolts are secured every two inches.The following is a transcript of Todd’s morning commentary, heard daily on hundreds of radio stations. Click here to join Todd’s private Facebook page for conservatives.
From television station WLOX comes a beautiful story about God’s grace – in of all places McDonalds.
How important is prayer to your life?
Brenda Wilson works the drive-thru window serving Big Macs and fries with a supersized heart. She begins every shift with the same routine.
“Every morning now I say Proverbs 3: 5-6 ‘trust in the Lord with all of your heart, lean not on your own understanding, but acknowledge Him in all My ways and He shall direct my path,” Wilson said.
Miss Brenda is a Christian woman and she said it is her faith that compels her to pray over every customer that passes by her drive-thru window.
Dylan Brooke is one of the regulars – normally making a quick stop in the drive-thru, but one day she felt compelled to go inside.
Miss Brenda walked over and told her that God had instructed her to pray right then and there. And they did. Miss Brenda had no idea that Brooke had been struggling privately with some issues. And it was if Miss Brenda knew everything she was going through. Word for word. Every issue.
Dylan wrote about the kind and gentle encounter on Facebook – reminding us that God works in mysterious ways.
This morning I decided to stop in and get some breakfast from McDonald’s. Usually I see Ms.Brenda at the drive-thru but this morning I decided to go inside and she just so happened to be at the counter inside too. If you know her, then you know. She’s all about love and prayers and will always say a quick prayer for you before you drive away. She stopped me while I was going to get my drink and told me God told her she needed to pray for me right then and there.
I’ve been silently struggling with a few things lately and having a hard time figuring it all out.
She got on her knees and prayed for me for every struggle I’ve been having lately. Every struggle I’ve been having that she knows nothing about.. I left in tears this morning. She hit every spot. Word for word, every issue. She knew. God works in mysterious ways. With that being said, let go and let God.
God bless you Ms.Brenda, thank you.
Throughout history people have encountered God in the most unusual of places – a burning bush on a mountain top – a road trip to Damascus – and in Ocean Springs, Mississippi – underneath the Golden Arches.MONTREAL — A woman found guilty of murdering her three daughters in a so-called honour killing was stripped of her permanent residency Thursday and ordered deported from the country.
But the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada’s expulsion order for Tooba Yahya will be executed only when she is released from a Quebec prison, her lawyer, Stephane Handfield, said in an interview.
Yahya, husband Mohammad Shafia and their son, Hamed, were each found guilty in 2012 on four counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.
The bodies of sisters Zainab, 19, Sahar, 17, and Geeti, 13, and Rona Amir Mohammad, 52, Mohammad Shafia’s childless first wife in a polygamous marriage, were found in June 2009 in a car submerged in a canal in Kingston, Ont.
The Crown argued at trial the women were murdered because they refused to abide by the family’s rules.
Court heard that notions of honour, directly tied to women’s sexuality and general control over their behaviour, led the Shafias to kill in an effort to cleanse them of the shame they perceived their daughters to have brought upon them.
The family was originally from Afghanistan and lived in Montreal.
Handfield said the order to deport Yahya was recently requested by the Canada Border Services Agency.
“Why now? Why not before or later? I don’t know,” he said about the agency’s motives.
While Yahya is now without status in a Quebec prison, Handfield said nothing should change regarding her rights or conditions in detention.
“She’s never complained to me about her conditions in prison,” he said.
The Crown theory was that Shafia, Yahya and their son drowned the four victims either to the point of death or unconsciousness, placed their bodies in the car, then pushed it into the canal using the family’s other vehicle.
Prosecutors, however, couldn’t prove how or where the pre-drowning happened.
The family has been behind bars since their arrests on July 22, 2009.
Handfield said because Yahya isn’t a Canadian citizen and due to the first-degree murder conviction, she has no right under Canadian immigration law to appeal her deportation order.
“The country’s immigration laws could change between now and when she gets out,” Handfield said.
Those parting shafts of light are beautiful, if I take a stroll when the sun is high, we see them too. They catch the tops of the trees for a few minutes as the sun goes down.
I love the sun on those broad green leaves.
We seem to be struggling with the heat in the poly tunnel, Phil wanted to alter it to make mesh sides, the lettuce cooked in there the other day!!
All those strawberries!! Lovely for strawberry sorbet, ice cream or coulis….jam? Maybe you could just squish with sugar & freeze for later use!Previous in Forum: A Christmas Present Next in Forum: Single-Phase Breaking
