Thoughts about the markets, automated trading algorithms, artificial intelligence, and lots of other stuff
In China, "8" is believed to be a most powerful, and lucky, number.
So it is not surprising that Chinese began the Olympics on 08-08-08 at 8:08 PM.
Here is a link to Wikipedia's info page and NBC's covering these Olympic games.
And here is a link to Wired's coverage of the tech behind the games.
As the Olympics begin, I saw this and thought it was worth sharing.
The artist/author has a blog called "Indexed" here, and a book here.
By the way, the Court threw out fine against CBS for airing the wardrobe malfunction. (DMN)
Let's just say she captured a few eyeballs; in most replayed moment in Tivo history. (CNet)

Three out of the four trading days this week experienced 200-point daily moves in the Dow. Some were up, some were down. Still the recent low has held.
The following picture shows charts of the S&P 500 Index on two timeframes: daily and 5-minute bars.
There are clearly a series of higher lows (on both charts). Nonetheless, the market has been fragile lately. A move up from here would be a big confidence booster.

I’ve been thinking a lot about innovation lately. It is a form of “thought leadership” … intuitively
identifying the underlying issues and figuring-out the best things
to do, now, to transform the situation and create new possibilities.
To paraphrase Peter Drucker, innovation is a tool that transforms challenge into an opportunity for a different business or service. It is capable of being presented as a discipline, capable of being learned, capable of being practiced.
Learning and innovation go hand in hand. It is often folly to think that what
you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow. This is a close
cousin to the idea that “you are either growing or dying.”

Chindōgu is the Japanese art of inventing ingenious
everyday gadgets that, on the face of it, seem like an ideal solution to a
particular problem.
When allergies bother you, why carry tissue?
When you’re a busy parent and don’t have time to clean, why mop?
When you’re in the mood for a hot quickee, what you need is a good blow.
Don’t be a slave to fashion, be a salaryman.

Last week’s rebound off the lows held-up, and still might prove to be an important turning point for the Markets. The internals contiune to look better; and from a technical perspective there are nice positive divergences forming.
One big down day spoiled the party for the Bulls this week. However, seasonally, this is about the time to start looking for a rally.
