INVESTOR ALERT

7-17-08
MARKET VOLATILITY: The Shark Tank is getting violent. Goldfish should refrain from entering the water.

The heavy downward market moves last week were based on the financial status of American credit institutions. The heavy upward market moves this week are based on massive movements of the world's biggest market players as they move their capitol between gold, oil, metals, and equities in mad rushes to preserve and increase value.

I strongly reccomend that small investors sail directly to port, and take cover in the most secure positions possible. The credit, commodities, and equities markets are going to undergo extreme volitility as huge sums of big player money attempts to protect itself as global economic activity contracts.

The next big move down could happen at any time, when all this big investor money now pouring into equites turns around and moves back into oil and gold. I am sure it will happen, but betting on the moves of big investors in these volitile markets is nothing short of crazy.

Some of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds are seeking to scale back their exposure to the US dollar in a sign of global concern about the currency.

One big sovereign fund in the Gulf has cut its dollar-denominated holdings from more than 80 per cent a year ago to less than 60 per cent, while China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) has been looking to strike deals with private equity firms in Europe as a part of a strategy to reduce its dollar holdings.

Sovereign wealth funds have played a leading role in helping to recapitalise faltering US banks, but have lost money so far on such investments. Continuing market turbulence has further shaken their faith in US policy and policymaker

Joe boy is just priming the pump in order to get his and Jane Harman's "Thought Crime Act" passed into law and into our homes.

By appearing to be rational and "giving" Google a chance to help Joe and Jane shred the Bill of Rights and by Google declining to help, now Joe and Jane can put the passage of the "Thought Crime Act" on high speed, all the while wringing their hands and maybe even getting misty-eyed, as they say the refusal of the private sector to help fight never ending wars for Israel shows absolutely that censorship and policing of the Internet is needed and needed right now, unless you want another 9/11.

Yes, we're forcing Joe and Jane to take away what's left of the Bill of Rights.

And when they say we are in danger of another 9/11 attack, you'd better believe Joe boy, since it was his buddies that helped plan and carry out that attack.


P.S. Hey Joe, if Google had taken your advice, do you realize how many MOSSAD computer whizz kids, who specialize in creating PhotoShop altered images, would be out of work?

The Google bastards can now maintain the illusion that they are for free speech while currently cleansing their archives of information openly pro-Palestinian(hence, in their zionist founders opinion, critical of Israel . Google investors should note that as word of this spreads their their stock value will deteriorate).

YouTube refuses Lieberman request

Published on May 19, 2008

The chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee today asked Google, the parent company of the popular online video-sharing site, YouTube, to “immediately remove content produced by Islamist terrorist organizations” from YouTube and prevent similar content from reappearing. However, the company immediately refused to comply with his request.

Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) made the request in a letter to Eric Schmidt, the chairman of the board and chief executive officer at Google, in which he said that YouTube “unwittingly, permits Islamist terrorist groups to maintain an active, pervasive and amplified voice despite military setbacks or successful operations by the law enforcement and intelligence communities.”

Lieberman asked the company not only to remove existing content but also identify changes that Google plans to make to YouTube’s community guidelines and explain how it plans to enforce the guidelines. Lieberman said removing such content should be “a straightforward task since so many of the Islamist terrorist organizations brand their material with logos or icons identifying their provenance.”

The OECD's early warning signal is flashing clear signs of economic weakness across the world, with mounting evidence that China, India, and Brazil may soon succumb to the downturn.

The closely-watched gauge -- known as the Composite Leading Indicators (CLI) -- has picked up a sharp deterioration in the eurozone in March, notably in Italy and France where the advance signals are falling even faster than in Britain. The measure tends to anticipate the industrial cycle by about six months.

While growth continues to power ahead in most emerging markets, rampant inflation is starting to damage business confidence. "The latest data point to a potential downturn in Brazil, China, and India," said the OECD, the club of rich nations.
