Tsunami in Hawaii
SORRY-YOU CAN TRY LINK BELOW BUT LOOKS LIKE THE WEBCAM IS OVERLOADED MY PAGE IS NO LONGER RELOADING EVEN AFTER WAITING TEN MINUTES--Ill try to find some other web cams that may be of interest, like Waimea bay.
http://www.tsunami.org/hilobaycam.html
OK FOUND a good link....lots of wave cams....some should work.
http://livesurfcamhawaii.com/oahu/northshore.htm
And for the tin-hatters --- Yellowstone
http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/yvo/publications/2010/10swarm.php
The best bays "as amplifiers" will be Hilo, Haleiwa, Hanalei, and Kahului.
No this isn't the long awaited Pee-Three Elliot Wave.
The link below will take you to Hilo Bay Web Cam located on top of the Pacific Tsunami Museum. The think tank boys are predicting maybe 12 to 15 foot waves in Hilo bay.
Bays act as amplifiers for long waves like Tsnamis. Hilo was bodyslammed by a large Tsunami in 1946.
Note that the Haiti earthquake happened right on the eclipse which was a no moon.
The current Chile and Japan Earthquakes happened on the approaching full moon.
This is a push me/pull me affect of the large gravitational pull of the moon as it lines up with the sun.
Affects on the markets? Moons have been particularly accurate predictions of turning points this year, although direction is not "known". Massive earthquakes are not a good sign though, for the collective pysche in the current "Mass Global Pychosis" as Daneric has so nicely coined.
Most events in Hawaii have been cancelled, shorelines are being evacuated. People are filling up their gas tanks and water jugs. Just in case.
I'll post some still photos from Kunia Oahu, about 400 feet up, safe viewing of the ocean off Oahu. It's about 8:30AM local time, tsunami expected starting 11:00AM or a little later, and maybe waves coming for several hours.

Friday Chart Update, odd similarity in index patterns
Sure, stocks and indices do follow each other....herding instinct being what it is. But usually, not exactly. Look at the first graphic....uncanny exact match. In several thousand days of watching the markets, this is only the second time I have see the 3 indices match each other so closely. The last time was about a week ago. Strange, very strange. The tin-foil hat comes out.
I am still not excited about this market. I think it is whipsaw heaven, or hell, as the case may be. I have a few short positions, EEM, and TSN, and close to throwing them under the bus.
On the weekend I will try to produce Chart of Charts. There were alot of bearish charts this M,Tu,W, but Thurs Fri could change that complexion, I haven't analyzed yet.

The FF- Fear Factor - Not a TV show, an indicator
This Fear Factor Thing --- it is interesting to say the least!
It is more than a simple ratio chart, it is a combo ratio chart with additions and multiplications. It seems to be pretty good at leading meltdowns. See prior posts for interpretations and derivations.
In this chart, I plot not just the Fear Factor but its 2 main sub components (numerator and denominator) and they are also both interesting. Way more interesting than the drivel you get from CNBS, or the other owned media marts.

Total Market to Gold Ratio, and Poll Results ---(Gold or USD as a 5 year bet)
Total Market to Gold Ratio, in a tight triangle. 5 Hits on the triangle, is a good predictor of a big breakout move. Usually in the reverse direction the 5 was moving, in this case, down and out.
The Poll showed that most people would take gold over USD in a 5 year closed end bet. I agree.
Just reading "Gold the Once and Future Money". Good stuff. By Wiley and Addison. It's about more than just gold, 400 some pages about currency through history and a no-BS perspective about important events like Bretton Woods, and the Asian crisis in which economic hit men forced small governments to bankrupt their smaller and regional banks, allowing them to be bought on the cheap by the bigger and more connected players. Hmmmm.....I guess you can pull that off in larger than "3rd world countries" too.

Just reading "Gold the Once and Future Money". Good stuff. By Wiley and Addison. It's about more than just gold, 400 some pages about currency through history and a no-BS perspective about important events like Bretton Woods, and the Asian crisis in which economic hit men forced small governments to bankrupt their smaller and regional banks, allowing them to be bought on the cheap by the bigger and more connected players. Hmmmm.....I guess you can pull that off in larger than "3rd world countries" too.
Total Market to Gold Ratio, in a tight triangle. 5 Hits on the triangle, is a good predictor of a big breakout move. Usually in the reverse direction the 5 was moving, in this case, down and out.

PRS Guitars 133% Channels for Dummies
Below is from PRS. I was supposed to do a quasi-guest post a month or so back....sometimes these things just fall under the bus....not thrown, shaken, not stirred.
PRSGuitars wrote, in response to steveo77:
How to draw 133s in TOScharts...
-- draw any channel anywhere -- this will become your default channel
-- right click on the channel and select 'edit properties'
-- under the sub-area (lower part of the window) 'edit curves' click 'add curve'
-- the new curve has a default value of '0', so, change that to be 1.33333
-- (suit your own preference) change the color and style of the 1.333 line (I use dotted yellow) so it's distinct
-- if you so desire, add a 'lower/underside 133% extension' by repeating these steps but adding a 2nd curve and entering '-0.33333' for the value of the 2nd curve.
-- make sure both curves are unchecked (for 'hidden')... this way both 133s show up WHENEVER YOU DRAW ANY CHANNEL! Already there for you.
-- CRUCIAL STEP -- click 'save as default' in the lower left corner of the properties window... thus your new 133s are solidified on all new channels
-- if you want to hide any 133s, go to 'edit properties' and check the hidden box (useful if charts get too cluttered)
-- if you don't want this as a default, duh, just don't check 'save as default'... just add them at your discretion to channels via the edit properties window.

New Buzz Words - Annuitization (Tin Foil Hat Series), And Bank Update
Whenever there is a new buzzword being trotted out among the financial world -- you can pretty much rest assured that it is with some new type of scam, deception, unjust transfer of wealth.
Just look for the new buzzwords, like Annuitization.
http://oahutrading.blogspot.com/2010/01/pensioners-get-ready-to-be-hosed.html
We were bringing up the idea of Government effectively seizing your 401K to "protect you from yourself" and filling them full of treasuries, since no one else would buy that debt.

Bank Update
The fourth quarter 2009 FDIC Quarterly Banking Profile (QBP) is now available online.
http://www2.fdic.gov/qbp/index.asp
Commercial banks and savings institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) reported an aggregate profit of $914 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, a $38.7 billion improvement from the $37.8 billion net loss the industry sustained in the fourth quarter of 2008, but still well below historical norms for quarterly profits. More than half of all institutions (50.3 percent) reported year-over-year improvements in their quarterly net income. Almost one-third of all institutions (32.7 percent) reported net losses for the quarter, compared to 34.6 percent a year earlier. For the full-year, banks reported net income totaling $12.5 billion—up from $4.5 billion in 2008.
The QBP provides the earliest comprehensive summary of financial results for all FDIC-insured institutions. This report card on industry status and performance includes written analyses, graphs and statistical tables. In addition to the QBP, you may be interested in these other related products that have been updated to reflect this quarter’s data:

1984 - A great book
I first read the book 1984 in 1977.
As a school boy, I was curious whether these things would come to pass. 1984 came, and it was not even close to the books predictions/theories.
2009 /2010 has come and some of the analogies are striking / shocking.
A reader commented via email----
"So they pass bills to address every problem/crisis that comes up and labels them 'appropriately'.
Patriot Act, Financial Reform Bill, Worker Protection Act of 2006, and so on. " If you haven't read 1984, put on your tin-foil hat and read it!
Homegrown Terrorists flying planes into Gubbermint buildings -- Time's they are a changin' -- The elimination of the rule of law, intervention in numerous aspects of a formerly free marketplace, yes this is all "Change that we can believe in"

Similar Candles says this market goes up, and can Railroads Talk?
Great eye by Carlos
Railroads are a good indicator of economic health. Read this article by the Association of American Railroads.
