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?

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.

We're all just suckers on the outside, playing a sucker's game with our retirement money. That's all I know about Wall Street.

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.

If we laid-off 50% of our Military
and terminated 60% of their contractors
We'd see the real state of America

-It doesn't apply to those who are covered by an award or agreement.

-It doesn't apply to those under 20. Ex- a 15 yr old gets $6.03.

-It doesn't apply to those labeled as "apprentices" under 5 years experience. Fox ex, a 1st yr apprentice the minimum wage is $10.49 an hr.

-It doesn't apply to those labeled as "trainees".

No shit. I can't believe he left out the for-profit college industrial complex (see Romney's campaign donors), for-profit prison industrial complex (see Judge Mark Ciaveralla), pharmaceutical industrial complex (see Medicare Part D), and tax attorney/IRS industrial complex.

Accuracy.

Plus you accidentally left off the Green Energy Industrial Complex, Silicon Valley Industrial Complex, Hollywood Industrial Complex, among many others. :kisswink:
