Jittery Wall Street traders are looking up in the sky and seeing Hindenburgs.
That can be a bad thing for markets, which have suffered in the past when the tripwires associated with the "Hindenburg Omen" get activated.
Market veteran Art Cashin said Monday that the market phenomenon is looming again.
"There have been multiple occurrences of the Hindenburg Omen in the last several weeks," Cashin, the director of floor operations at UBS, said in his morning note...

I don't get Wall Street. It's like they occasionally scare themselves, press the panic-button, and end up creating this self-fulfilling prophecy. But then again, I won't pretend to understand anything more than the basics when it comes to all that stuff.93henfan wrote:CNBC back again with the Hindenburg Omen talk. I see they were the source of the first post in this thread as well. Should I sell everything and start sleeping in the bunker?

This is one area where Spandos is kinda-sorta right. The whole thing is rigged. We can only hope that they throw us a few crumbs.
If my employer would match 5% of my salary on land like they do with retirement funds, I'd be all over it.Grizalltheway wrote:As houndawg would say, buy land.93henfan wrote:

Australia missed out on the global recession with a $16/hr minimum wage.Grizalltheway wrote:Funny, Germany manages to have a robust manufacturing and exporting sector, even with a MUCH stronger union presence than us.Baldy wrote: You're mostly correct. Labor costs aside, it costs manufacturers 20% more to produce goods in this country than it does in the countries of our nine largest trading partners.
