1966 Mustang Exhaust Note

This beast sat in the garage for 9 years, a fine aging process.   

I needed to make it run to ship it, and instead of just making it run, did a restoration on it.    It really don't get any better than this. 

With separate dual exhausts, header, and Super Turbo mufflers, she really sounds good.   This little video from a small camera does not do any justice to the exhaust note, but you get the idea.    At two points you can just quickly hear the secondaries kicking in.   

I used to drag race this car late in the last millennium.

Ruh Roh, now the bees are pissed.

A 6-year old boy was hospitalized Sunday morning after suffering extensive bee stings on a popular hiking trail, Pima County Sheriff's deputy Tom Peine told Tucson News Now.
Peine said the boy is stable as of Sunday evening at 5:30 p.m. He was stung more than a hundred times.

"Three of the victims were sitting on a rock... the father had the 6-year-old in his lap, trying to protect his face from the bees," said Robert Raterink, a Pima County Sheriff's Search and Rescue spokesman.

Golder Ranch Fire and Rescue spokesman Will Seeley said rescuers assisted four other victims just off the Linda Vista Trail east of Calle Concordia and Oracle Road.
The other four hikers all were stung more than 100 times, Seeley said.

Unrelated incident mountain climber attacked by bees, found dead, hanging from his ropes.
 
Now I can see a little vengeance against the GMO and pesticide creators....but sheesh, the bees also killed the guys dog.

A Tucson climber was found dead, hanging from a southern Arizona cliff in his climbing gear and covered with bee stings.
The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office says 55-year-old Steven Johnson was found in the Santa Rita Mountains south of Tucson late Monday.
Cause of death hasn’t been determined yet, but officials say Johnson was covered with stings when he was found.
Johnson was last seen Friday when he went hiking, and friends became worried when he didn’t go to work on Monday.
Search and rescue teams found both Johnson and his dog dead. The dog was on the top of the cliff.

Geek Test

If you can interpret this into English, then you are officially a geek, or maybe an engineer, or maybe both.


Google Finance Function for Stocks

I saw this at

and wanted to archive it for myself

 

How to Add Google Finance Functions to Your Google Spreadsheet

One of the most important aspects of trading is keeping a log of your trades. The amount of work involved with tracking data can be overwhelming. Google Spreadsheet is a great solution since you can access it from any where. The interface is easy to use and you can embed Google Finance functions. These functions will grab today’s stock data or historical data. Let’s cover the basics on building out a trading log:

First we want to add the headers to the document: Date, Symbol, Purchase Price, Current Price, Change, Total Shares, and Gain/Loss.

After you have added your headers, Freeze row 1 by going to the View Menu and click “Freeze Rows: Freeze 1 row” from the drop down menu. This prevents your headers from moving off the screen when your log begins to grow.

Now with the headers set, it’s time to review a few of the basic Google Finance Functions.

To get the Current Price of any stock: =GoogleFinance(B2 ; ʺpriceʺ)
Just like excel you can reference the Cell that contains the ticker symbol. In this Case B2 which is “CSU”.

To get the Open Price of any stock: =GoogleFinance(B2 ; ʺpriceopenʺ)
To get today’s volume: =GoogleFinance(B2; "volume")
To get today’s high: =GoogleFinance(B2; "high")
To get today’s low: =GoogleFinance(B2; "low")
To get a historical price use: =INDEX(GoogleFinance(b2 ; ʺpriceʺ ; ʺ3/25/2013ʺ) ; 2 ; 2 )



image

Once you’ve inserted the Google Finance functions you can use a few basic formulas to calculate Change and Gain/Loss.
To calculate total change: =D2-C2
Total calculate Gain/Loss: =E3 * D3

Google spreadsheet is easy to use and the integration with Google Finance is a big plus. You can access your spreadsheet from any device across the internet. If you have not started that trading log, now is the time. Below is an example to help get you started.

Elliot Wave International - Silver and Gold


Email from EWI today 

Since dropping violently in mid-April, gold and silver have moved slightly higher, but trended mostly sideways. Mostly, that is, until the past two trading sessions (May 9-10), as both metals have seen a sharp decline. As of midday today, Friday, May 10, gold was down more than 3% intraday.

Major pullbacks like today's are often followed by bounces, but as gold and silver threaten to breach the recent April lows, many investors have an important question in mind:

Are we in the early stages of a gold and silver bear market, or is downward pressure on the metals setting up another buying opportunity for the bulls?

On April 23, Robert Prechter published a new issue of The Elliott Wave Theorist that addresses that very question
Hawaii Trading note----
During the runup to the first financial debacle in the 2006 2008 zone, EWI steadfastly and with the greatest conviction told members to sell silver at 12, and not to buy silver until "under 7".     Hmmm....how did that work out for the poor muppets led by the newsletter sellers.


You can see how that turned out

Free Breakpoint Trades Newsletter

Read it.

Then sign up using the link on the right bar of my humble little blog.   I am a BPT member and they give me extra months for each signup.   It's well worth it.    

http://breakpointtrades.com/market_analysis/legacy.php?nl_id=1554

 Also free to BPT MEMBERS, they have conjured up a prfitable indicator system, and you can have it for free....only as a member.

Free Trending Indicator - BPT MA deluxe moving average indicator

Here's the BPT MA deluxe MA, which is really just a fancy name for a moving average set that has tons and tons of settings.  It allows you to plot two MA's like at 20 and 50 or 50, 200 or whatever, and it also has 8 different moving average types that you can choose from (Simple, Exponential, Weighted, Triangle, Adaptive, Hull Weighted, Hull Expontial, and Hull Modified).  we can also plot just one MA and turn off the second (which is what I show in the sample charts).  It also slows the color of the slope of the MA (green when the slope is up and red when the slope is negative).

The last custom setting it has is a whipsaw factor.  You've all seen my use the BPT confirmation method where you need a second candle to confirm the first candle of an indicator change, I've shown this with various moving averages, MACD crosses, RSI above or below 50%, stochastics above or below 50%.  However I added a whipsaw confirmation method to this MA that only allows the slope to change color if it is confirmed by a second color - this turns it into more of a trending indicator.  I've attached some images below of daily and monthly S&P 500 charts.  The setting that I'm using is a 34 length exponential modified MA (our #8 MA) with the whipsaw confirmation turned on, as you can see it's done a great job at catching most of the trends.

For BPT members who have Tradestation I'm going to give you this indicator and a workspace for free so that you can play around with different settings and follow it on your own!

Again note that even though the indicator appears to follow trend very well, I still don't like to use it on its own, I use it as a tool with other things and analysis.  For example on the monthly chart, I've found that whenever the RSI is oversold (which is a rare event on monthly charts), it's best to enter a long earlier than wanting for the MA to turn green - I've found taking the first MACD/BB green dot gets you in early (but only doing this when the monthly RSI was in a deeply oversold condition below 30%).  The first three charts show monthly S&P 500 charts while the last 2 charts show daily S&P charts, one recent and while from the past.

On the daily charts as you can see it's been green since mid November so has caught this whole move.

**Click Here** to watch a detailed video of how this indicator works and how to use it

I will be giving this indicator to all BPT members for free who have a Tradestation account.  However it's only for BPT members not free trial members (so sign up) if you want it.

JO Coffee Long

No time for an exhaustive search of setups, I think Gold and Gold Miners, and Silver are likely  good.

But this old coffee one looks interesting long

End of Empire, Fined for using words.

What does the end of an empire look like....when they start fining people for using words.   What a joke.    Fortunately the USA gets off the hook on this one.   Britain is really becoming laughable.

Martial Law Declared in Waikiki

Bomb Scare in Waikiki causes Martial Law to be declared.   This is similar to Boston, although this was only 2 hours.     A lot of the tin foil hatters are saying that Big Gov wants to program America to accept martial law on a regular basis.    This will make it easier to quash large disturbances and make it seem "normal" at least in the news reports.

The nice terms of "shelter in place" are well known to prepper types and nuclear aware types.    And that has to do with being pre-prepared with necessary materials, tools, food, water, to take shelter in your own house during an extended civil disaster, nuclear meltdown, etc. 

So they tried to sell us the term "shelter in place" which in fact has nothing to do with martial law for a manhunt, as was Boston.     Even the term "lockdown" or "stand down" is no where near the reality of "we have declared martial law".  There are video's floating on the internet of families being rousted out of their houses by "Swat" teams, and being marched out of their house with hands on their heads.    These look very credible, I just saw last night.   I was surprised it went this far.

Here is the "lockdown" in Waikiki.    There are just 3 "horizontal roads" in Waikiki and they are all one way,  so by shutting down one of them, indeed that is a crippling situation for one of the most dense human habitation and tourism areas in the US.
