Infection Vectors
Laptops may be the primary culprits, because they are often less protected than hardened corporate networks, are typically on broadband connections, and are used in an environment where safe security practices are easily neglected. Other risks arise when patching problems leave vulnerabilities to be exploited.
Laptops. David Kennedy, senior risk analyst for the Cybertrust Corporation, hears of many bot incidents from colleagues who are involved in remediation efforts and directly from the companies whose systems are infected. What he finds is that most of the companies had many of the proper defenses—such as patches and up-to-date antivirus signatures—in place on their networks. That raises the question: How did the bot enter the network?
Kennedy says the most frequent method of infection was from someone who took a notebook home, hooked it up to a cable modem or DSL connection, became infected, and then brought the notebook back to work. Once the employee connected the laptop directly to the corporate network, it bypassed the firewalls and antivirus scans that might have detected and blocked a bot. That allowed the bot to spread via internal networks, despite the outer defenses of the corporation.
Trend Micro's Hughes agrees that if you attached a laptop to a home network that was inadequately protected and then became infected, as soon as you connected that laptop to the company's network, it could start spreading an infection if the proper procedures were not in place at the company (more on solutions below).
Perhaps the greatest threat to network security is the so-called "zero-day" attack, in which a worm exploits a previously unknown software flaw before anyone can create a patch. Precisely this scenario occurred in December, when attackers found a new way to exploit a hole in certain graphics files; it took Microsoft more than a week to release a patch.
In the case of Zotob, within two days after Microsoft announced the discovery of a new critical vulnerability and patch, exploits had already appeared that targeted that vulnerability, and two days later, a worm was born. Since exploits come out so quickly, "it's really important to keep up-to-date with patches for the operating system," says Hughes.
But with a large system, patching takes time. Sources at Finland-based antivirus company F-Secure, which saw the worm first and called it Zotob, tell the story of how one company, with more than 20,000 workstations and some 1,500 servers, was infected despite its efforts to patch all its machines quickly.
The day after Zotob appeared, the company had already installed the patch that Microsoft had created when it announced the vulnerability, but one critical server could not be rebooted during business hours, and the patch could not take effect until that was done. The reboot was scheduled for after-office hours.
However, by 4:30 p.m., the company saw the first signs of infection, when unusual traffic was noticed by automated sensors on the network. Company administrators later discovered that a laptop connected to the network had carried the infection from the user's home network. By 9:00 p.m., more than 500 of the company's computers were infected.
Since mobile users plugging laptops into corporate networks can be a major cause of bot infections, companies need to better protect those machines. In addition, in the event that a laptop does get infected, companies must have ways of preventing that malicious code from spreading from the laptop to the corporate network. Experts say there are several strategies that will help.
Protecting laptops. Companies should make sure that any laptops that are to be connected to the network have properly configured firewalls as well as current antivirus signatures. In addition, mobile users need to be taught the importance of safe-computing measures (such as not opening file attachments in e-mails). By following safe-computing policies, users can cut off the main entry point of bot infections.
Shutting doors. In addition to educating users and strengthening laptop protections, the company must fortify the network internally. Shutting doors to the network is an effective first step toward blocking attacks. For example, many worms take advantage of the specialized rules, known as protocols, standard to all computers that define the ways in which computers transmit data. One example of a protocol is NetBIOS, which allows applications to communicate across computers, Skoudis says.
Not all of these protocols need to be in place, however, meaning that certain kinds of communications need not be allowed between computers. Skoudis notes that many organizations have finally begun to block these oft-unneeded protocols at the perimeter of their networks, and even within the network whenever possible. The more that organizations block unnecessary protocols, the less vulnerable they will be to getting hit by the most common worms—and that will reduce the opportunity for the accompanying bots as well.
A company can only go so far in curtailing the functionality of its network, however. For example, Zotob, like many other worms, spread via port 445, which is used for a file-sharing protocol. Blocking access to this port via a firewall can reduce the risk of infection by many worms. Unfortunately, experts say, that's not always practical, because keeping port 445 open is sometimes a business necessity.
IPS.Where ports cannot be shut off, intrusion prevention systems can be useful in keeping bots out. LURHQ's Stewart says that organizations that cannot turn off unneeded protocols because their functionality is important to business operations absolutely need to use IPS on their networks.
"You might not be able to live without Windows networking, for example, and that port is a primary vector," Stewart says, "so in those cases you're going to have to deploy things like intrusion prevention devices so that you can still allow the good traffic through and then log any worm attempts."
IDS. Despite the technologies and tools available to lock down networks, in the arms race against bots and viruses, network administrators are always on the defensive—and even the best measures may not keep out every infection. Therefore, experts say, networks need intrusion detection systems (IDSs) in place to prevent bots and worms from functioning and spreading.
IDSs are extremely effective at detecting bot-related traffic, says Trend Micro's Hughes. That's because bot masters typically send a message to their botnets to find another vulnerable host so that they can increase the size of the botnets they command.
"They don't do this once every minute; it's usually hundreds every second, so you see a large amount of traffic," he says, enough to suddenly and completely clog even the fastest Internet connection. With IDS in place, this traffic can be immediately noticed and terminated.
Outbound access. Bots similarly need to communicate with their masters, so blocking outbound avenues of communication can prevent bots from contacting IRC channels or sending out sensitive information such as passwords. Firewalls can block outbound access from unknown programs or unusual ports, says Hughes.
Skoudis says that putting up this kind of roadblock is common sense, and he suggests an additional method. Computers on an internal network should not be allowed to send packets directly to the Internet, he says, but rather should go through some centralized proxy servers because these are easier to monitor and protect, and create chokepoints for inappropriate traffic as well.
Better patching. Thom Bailey, director of product management with Symantec, says that given the importance of keeping systems patched, many companies are looking for an automated approach—what Bailey calls the "thermostat approach."
"The problem with that approach is that it misses a very critical piece in any patch-management discipline, and that is testing," he says. Testing, Bailey says, can take as long as 60 days in a large network.
"We've had a lot of customers who have had a bad experience because they're looking for that thermostat approach" but have done more harm than good when an untested patch damaged a system, he says.
Virtualization. There are no easy answers to this dilemma. But Symantec and other companies are looking at innovative techniques to streamline the process. One of these techniques is virtualization, in which specialized software replicates a network environment. Patches can be tested against this virtual environment without having to worry about crashing the real network, Bailey explains. This means the patch can be tested and rolled out to the network in a much shorter time than before.
Replication. Some well-heeled companies set up identical sets of servers that are synchronized with the working, production-environment servers. These, Bailey says, can be patched so that the systems can be switched at the flip of a switch. However, the obvious costs of such a plan include not only the price of duplicate servers, but also the technology needed to ensure that data on the two sets of servers is replicated in real time and consistently.
Access control. Networks need to segregate "clean" from "dirty" computers; that is, those that are known to be infection-free from those that are coming in from outside and are potentially contaminated. Hughes reiterates that laptops are often implicated here.
"If you were to get infected and then come inside, as soon as you started up your computer, it would start spreading inside your organization," he says. Vetting computers before they are allowed onto corporate networks can prevent that harmful scenario from occurring.
Many companies have technologies that can do this vetting. "Cisco and other vendors are pushing network access control," or NAC, says Hughes. "Companies that have that were ahead of the game on this, because a good NAC function will check a system for infections before it allows access to a network." Microsoft is building a type of NAC called network access protection (NAP) into Vista, the newest release of the Windows operating system, as well as Longhorn, its updated Windows Server software.
These types of solutions validate that any computers that connect to a network meet a set of minimum requirements. "Network access control will make sure machines can't connect to the network until patch levels are where they're supposed to be and virus scanning is up to date," says Stewart.
Symantec's Bailey says that his company recently acquired Sygate, an acquisition which brought technology for interrogating and quarantining computers that plug into a network. In explaining how this kind of technology works, he gives the example of a sales rep who has been out of the office for a long time, and whose laptop may harbor a worm or bot. When the laptop is plugged in, it is immediately interrogated by a machine on the main network before it is allowed to fully connect, he explains.
"There's a set security policy which indicates that in order to get onto this production environment, I need to have the following things done. That could be I need to have the latest antivirus definitions, I need to have file and print sharing turned off, I need to have certain parameters in Symantec or the Windows XP firewall enabled here or there, or I need to ensure I have the following software installed for any type of compliance with HIPAA or Sarbanes-Oxley," he says, referring to regulations that affect the way that healthcare and financial organizations protect data.
If the laptop is found to be out of step with a given security policy, it's pulled off the network and put into quarantine, and then is provisioned accordingly. Then, the machine is reinterrogated and, if it is it fully in compliance, can safely connect to the network.
Asimov's three rules for robots were meant to ensure that any automated assistants remain in our service, incapable of doing us harm. Today that concern is as much science as fiction.
For us to stay ahead of the bad guys, we need to understand how bots work and what their limitations are. Then we can take steps to ensure that bots are blocked where they are not wanted or needed, and maintain our position as their masters and not their victims.

i was raised in a family that for lots of great reasons idolized buckminster fuller. i remember one christmas hearing my aunts and uncles talking about buckminster fuller, and i had no idea who or what they were talking about. was buckminster fuller a person? i had no idea.
then as i got older i learned that buckminster fuller was, in fact, a person. and that he'd sort of invented the rocket car and the geodesic dome, among other things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminster_Fuller
and then as i got even older (i've had plenty of time in which to get older) i came to idolize (posthumously) the great bucky fuller.
some of his better quotes:
"There is no energy crisis, only a crisis of ignorance."
"I live on Earth at present, and I don't know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing—a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process—an integral function of the universe."
when i moved to l.a i heard apocryphal lore about a bucky fuller dome somewhere up in the hollywood hills. and then when i dug deeper i learned that the bucky fuller dome had been taken down, due to issues of privacy and insulation. sniff. poor bucky fuller dome. although i guess i understand that living in a residential neighborhood in a hot, transparent ball might lose it's appeal after a while.
but, as it turns out, there's a sort of quasi geodesic dome based house in my neighborhood. and so today i'll share some pictures of it.
it's not a bucky fuller geodesic dome (well, or maybe it is. hmm. ok, in the interest of making urban lore more interesting let's say that it is a bucky fuller geodesic dome).
in any case, here are some pictures of the geodesic dome in my neighborhood. and now, as agreed upon 1 sentence back, we all know that it's a bucky fuller geodesic dome. let's go one step further and say that it's a 3-D residential representation of buckminsterfullerene, the molecule named after buckminster fuller.
see, history is written by the people taking the time to write it. and i'm always way more interested in compelling and interesting history than factually accurate history.

When going into business with a friend or family member, at first its fun but once the cash starts rolling in well that changes every thing. Its better to ask for funding from that person and return the envestment and avoid going into partnership at all. I would have to strongly agree with not having enough capital point. This is the reason why I had to take a step back before opening my gym. I didn't want to be a pushy salesmen when people walk in the door. I want to have enough cash to make it without any members for 6 months if I had to. Thanks a lot you guys for this post. And as always- Drop weights not bombs.

I really admire Tracy Reese style icons? Shala Monroque And why? Tracy Reese-I love the way she dresses a woman's body and how she has built such a successful brand. Shala Monroque-are you kidding…her style is effortlessly classy, chic, humble and bold at the same time. Each ensemble is stamped with her own style characteristic. What's your favorite item in your wardrobe right now? Oh I have two…My yummy vintage mongolian lamb fur coat & my lovely camel colored wool vintage cape! What's your definition of fashion and or style? I believe style is specific to the character of the person…it's a persons ability to express themselves from a pure place of inspiration & confidence. It's a stamp and it's more about the person than the outfit in my opinion. Do you care more for fashion or style? Definitely style…although I do love fashion, it's influenced heavily by trends, trends die down and then come right back around. Style for me is something that is consistent and specific to the person, it's like a fingerprint. Favorite current fashion trend?/least favorite? I really have fallen for the Levis destroyed denim short & chunky heels. My least favorite trend is DEFINITELY creepers…sorry creepers lovers. Something in your closet that you couldn't live without? My new white double breasted blazer with gold buttons… Who or what inspired you to create a fashion blog? My friend Dannie told me I should start a fashion blog 2 years ago, & I thought "Yeah right", and believe it or not I had no idea that this whole world of fashion blogging existed. I have always been the creative type and come up with new ways to put things together and never knew there was so much inspiration out there. So here I am two years later and loving every minute of expressing my creativity through my style and extreme passion for fashion. I really do love it…I want to be involved in fashion for the rest of my life. Best moment of your blogging career? I would have to say my "Style Pantry" feature. That was nice…oh and being featured on the home page on Chictopia. What does BlackFashion mean to you? I can share what I would like for it to mean, Black fashion to me means a cultures ability to move forward with no restrictions, and express themselves not based or founded on the rules of just culture, society or fashion, but founded in the liberty of what they are truly inspired by. Living a stylized life outside of the box…outside of the box that says you have to conform or be a certain way. ______________________________Check out her blog bambisarmoire.com and tell her we sent you!

Déjà Vu.
REPRINTED FROM THE MAY 26th
Our first observations of a potential mania in
progress surfaced in the late 1990s as Dollar Trading Volume (DTV) began
a near vertical ascent. What had formerly been a staid yet solid
bull market suddenly turned into a rip roaring all speed ahead and out
of control affair as valuations went out the window. The public was
well on the way to all in status, equivalent to a high stakes Texas Holdem
game and betting on the River to bail out any poor judgments as the mania
took stocks to insane heights.
The statistics were startling. In just ten
years into the 2000 manic high, DTV rose more than 18-fold from $1.8 trillion
to over $32.6 trillion. Despite the enormous influx of cash into
both investment and trading, total stock market capitalization climbed
only five-and-a-half fold. The average holding period for U.S. stocks
fell from more than 19 months to less than 6 months as the theme of buying
for the long term quickly became a forgotten refrain. And as greed
completely overtook any sense of reality, margin debt ran to an all time
high. The stage was set for a collapse.
Post collapse, The Fed and the financial industry
were unable to face the fact that a veritable mania had come and gone and
figured the best cure for the $9 trillion in wealth that had evaporated
would be to simply encourage the exact same type of behavior that previously
accommodated the financial markets. No moves were taken to stifle
another run of inane and excessive risk taking into the 2007 peaks for
both stocks and the housing markets. Not even lip service was paid
to the burgeoning speculation. As a result, DTV skyrocketed from
$18.1 trillion when stocks bottomed in 2002, to $48.3 trillion in 2008.
Holding periods fell to the lowest ever, a mere 2.6 months, and margin
debt achieved another record high in July 2007, exceeding the March 2000
high by $116 billion. Again, the stage was set for a collapse. No
attention whatsoever was paid to the specter of extreme risk. What
unfolded was easily predictable.
We now find ourselves at a very similar time only
seven years later, as if the mania cycle ordinarily repeats in just this
fashion, every seventh year. While our featured chart shows DTV falling
shy of a new record vs. GDP, at the present pace it will most certainly
set another record in 2014. The previous record of $65 trillion in
2010 will easily fall and may even be eclipsed by the Thanksgiving holiday.
Average holding periods are now only 3.6 months, so it is again only about
the short term. Since long term investment is not a factor, you can
bet the farm that all the valuation methodologies you ever read about for
stocks no longer matter for the vast majority of players.
We havent mentioned program trading in long
while and perhaps we should. The official definition is the purchase
or sale of at least 15 different stocks with a total value of $1 million
or more, a process which has typically meant index arbitrage in the past.
In practice, if index futures traded at a discount to the constituent
issues, program traders would buy the futures and short the constituents,
ensuring a profit. If index futures were at a premium to the constituents,
program traders would sell the futures and simultaneously buy the constituent
stocks, again ensuring a profit. It wasnt quite that simple 100%
of the time but close enough to see that valuations were not a factor and
that positions could potentially be unwound almost immediately, trading
that was ultimately high frequency. By the end of 1999, 10% of all
volume on the NYSE was catalyzed by programs. The growth of program
trading was spectacular. The 13-week average of program trading ascended
May 2002 15%
August 2003 20%
June 2004 25%
May 2006 - 30%
June 2007 - 35%
Finally, as of the week of September 21, 2012,
programs weighed in at 48.6% of total NYSE volume. But it wasnt
just programs; HFT was completely taking over the arena. Other
strategies were constantly added to the mix in huge quantity and we wound
up with momentum traders, technical signal traders, filter traders, the
very same statistical arbitrage traders and even rebate traders, who were
rewarded simply for producing volume and the illusion of liquidity.
For the first time in market history, it was possible to lose money on
trades, yet make money from rebates offered by the exchange where the volume
occurred. Did fair valuations of company prospects play a role in
any of the churn? Hardly. See the August 19, 2013 issue of
Crosscurrents for a more thorough explanation (http://www.cross-currents.net/c081913c.pdf).
The twin collapses of 2000-2002 and 2007-2009 have done a great job of
scaring the public away from trusting Wall Street and for good reason.
The industry has designed itself to take advantage
of the little guy from so many angles that there is little sense to step
into the arena. This is one reason we suspect the American Association
of Individual Investors (AAII) sentiment tallies continue to display a
distinct lack of enthusiasm for stocks. According to the AAII website,
the long term average is 39% Bulls and 30.5% Bears. As of last week,
Bulls were only 33.1%. In contrast, the Investors Intelligence survey
of advisors has Bulls averaging 48.2% and Bears at 21.3% over the last
two full years. As of last week, Bulls were at 55.1%. Thats
a rather startling dichotomy that speaks volumes about the publics level
of trust. Of course, one reason for distrust is the level of misinformation
that circulates from both the financial industry, the Federal government
and the media. You cannot fool all of the people all of the time.
At center, despite one of the longest and most emphatic bull markets in
history, constant dollar wealth topped at the end of 1999. Fridays
close was still 7% away. In addition, by February 2014, margin debt
ran to over $500 billion for the first time in history, peaking at $502
billion, almost 3% of GDP. Not only is a new wealth record still
some distance away, stocks are saddled to the greatest extent ever by leverage
and the attendant risk.
Again, we point to the chart at lower right as
the best sign of a major stock market peak. While it cannot be utilized
as a short term signal, this third astounding levitation is evidence of
an impending bear market and a decline in price that is likely to resemble
the prior two. Perhaps we wont collapse by 50%. Perhaps the
damage will not extend two years out in time as in did from the 2000 peak.
However, our bear market target of Dow 12,471 is roughly 25% lower than
today and we would expect at least a full year will be needed to correct
margin debt to reasonable levels and to expand the cash-to-assets ratio
of mutual funds to the point that they are compelled to seek value.
Dollar Trading Volume is on track to hit a new
record of $70 trillion. In a day and age when notional values of
derivatives can reach $240 trillion and one bank alone holds a portfolio
of $70 trillion, ones eyes tend to gloss over large numbers; they tend
to lose their meaning.
Wed advise not to lose perspective.
The numbers and the charts are
every bit as astonishing and meaningful
as they were at the 2000 and
2007 tops.
The Chart Of The Year.
REPRINTED FROM THE MARCH 30th
We are told liquidity is driving the market.
Prices are rising because investors are flush with cash with nowhere else
to go. We are told that prices will continue to rise because stocks
remain undervalued. With the Feds taper assured, stocks are the
only game in town. Well attack all the assumptions one by one but
lets begin with our candidate for Chart of the Year. We measure
net liquidity by subtracting margin debt from the absolute level of mutual
fund cash. While the mutual fund cash to assets ratio is near record
lows, the entire stock market is so huge that there is still a substantial
amount of cash that could theoretically be spent, either to increase prices
or to stop a major decline in its tracks. When liquidity is positive,
the market typically has a lot of room to rally. The more liquidity,
the more room to rally. However, the arena depends upon speculation
to get the juices flowing, thus bull markets thrive on borrowed money and
as prices surge higher, liquidity eventually turns negative. This
is not unusual. However, when liquidity suddenly plunges to deeply
negative levels, as it did in 2000 and 2007, all bets on the bull market
continuing are off. As our featured chart clearly illustrates, this
is the case we face at this time. Liquidity is not only negative,
it is at its most negative level in history and is plunging at a rate that
can only be considered terminal.
Despite massive ignorance up to the March 2000
tech mania peak and the autumn 2007 mania highs, there is now total agreement
that both were incredible bubbles, the kind you see only once in a lifetime
it happened twice in seven-and-a-half years. In retrospect, we wonder
if there could have ever been a more flagrant disregard for risk but then
we see our featured chart and wonder no more. For the third time
in 14 years, U.S. stocks are in a bubble and far more leveraged than ever
For the 55 years since 1958, margin debt has averaged
only 1% of gross domestic product (GDP). On two occasions, margin
debt soared above 2% of GDP and stock prices were soon cut in half.
There are only three instances in which stock prices were cut in half in
modern history; the crash from 1929-1932, the crash from 2000-2002 and
the crash from 2007-2009.
Margin debt is now $502 billion and 3% of GDP,
triple what passes for average and is so much higher than our danger signal
that we are convinced a similar fate as the two previous collapsed bubbles
lies in store for U.S. stocks. Although we admit our expectation
that prices will be cut in half is a worst case scenario, the odds certainly
favor a decline of 30%-35%. As the tech mania in 2000 clearly proved,
it is possible to have a phase in which no price is too high and stocks
continue to be bid up despite valuations that are even insane. Despite
our conviction on February 28, 2000 that Nasdaq was facing a 35% crash
in only six weeks, tech stocks kept on rising for another nine days and
another 11% on the upside. Truly mind boggling. We are apparently
in a similar phase. No price is too high and no risk is too scary
to accommodate in the quest for another winning trade. It might all
be somewhat more palatable if leverage and liquidity seemed better able
to handle the inevitable correction but instead, they are in the worst
position since 1929.
We believe stocks will crash.
Six Paragraphs On Risk.
REPRINTED FROM THE MAY 26th
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC)
released the fourth quarter 2013 report on derivatives, showing total notional
values of $237 trillion, down a nominal $3 trillion from the third quarter
report. Despite a modest pickup in the governments stated data for
GDP, the 5-year trend for growth remains far outpaced by the fantastic
growth of derivatives in bank portfolios. It is our view that this
gigantic tally represents a fair appraisal of systemic risk and the more
risk is maintained, the more impedance is generated to hinder future economic
growth. The simplest inference is that Americas best growth years
are behind it, a posit that seems increasingly likely when examining the
last dozen years.
While derivatives do not necessarily equate directly
to leverage, these financial constructs have enabled leverage on a far
greater scale than ever seen in our history. We can see vast increases
in leverage in every aspect of our society. Federal government debt
has more than tripled since 2000 and is rising at an annual rate of over
8.4%. At the current pace, there is not only no hope of ever paying
down debt to a manageable size, we are likely ensuring a massive problem
in the next 10-20 years when the only solution to accommodate economic
growth will be an inflationary phase that makes the 1970s look tame by
Our charts and comments regarding margin debt in
the stock market are more proof of how much leverage is built into our
society. When former Fed Chairman commented 18 years ago why the
Fed had refused to raise margin rates under Reg. T, he posited that alternative
methods to raise borrowed money made an increase in margin rates a meaningless
move. No doubt the ease of acquiring home equity lines of credit
and even loans via credit card advances helped fuel the tremendous mania
in 2000. Meanwhile, what the former Fed Chairman did not say was
that the Feds reluctance to move favored the financial industry, which
would have lost one of their big profit centers had margin rates been raised.
As usual, the rationale has always been to protect the financial industry.
The public interest is avoided.
The greatest failing of the Fed has been to avoid
any statement about excessive leverage in our society. However, too
much debt is a bad thing. Excusing alternative methods of increasing
leverage in order to accommodate the financial industry has been a monstrous
error. The Feds policies have led to an over-utilization of leverage
and todays record levels of margin debt and notional values of derivatives
point out that risk continues to reside at the highest levels ever.
There is a wide gap in between the derivative portfolios
of the top four commercial bank portfolios and the next five but altogether,
they account for 99.2% of all derivatives. We almost suffered a worst
case scenario in 1987, another worst case scenario in 1998 and yet another
in 2008, yet we remain on track for another worst case scenario as if this
is the accepted standard. As we have said on many occasions, it is
not a matter of if, but when. A failure of any of these banks in
a worst case scenario will likely threaten the entire financial system.
The bull has now endured for 62 months, a
full year more than the average of the previous eight bull markets measuring
from 1966. Given we now reside in the Dead Zone, the timing seems
perfect for a new bear market. Inflows have already turned negative
for domestic mutual funds, suffering $5 billion in outflows over the last
eight weeks.
Our bear market target of Dow
12,471, down 25.5% from the May 13th high of 16,735 remains a viable and
reasonable target.
Back To The Future.
In our view, 117 years of history is enough to
provide a guideline for the future. We use many methods to provide
guidelines for our long term targets and one of the simplest is a 5% regression
Over the really long term, it has been shown that
stocks return approximately 5% per annum. It is only since the great
secular bull market began 1982 that stocks seem to be capable of 7% per
annum (or greater) returns. But then again, it appears the regression
line always eventually wins out.
Clearly, despite trading above our line for roughly
13 years, the Dow Industrials collapsed in 2009, taking our the line by
a huge margin. We're not calling for another decline of that magnitude
but we do believe that stocks can crash and we are quite confident that
this major index will once again make the journey to the regression line
that currently stands at 12,844. .
We've been there before.
Déjà vu.
To see a free sample copy
of the Crosscurrents newsletter,
Several years ago, an obscure internet
blogger published a purported "study" of stock market forecasters.
In our case, the blog reported accuracy ratings that we can only describe
as devised and so far from accurate as to be laughable. His studies
often included his own judgmental observations and he then attempted to
couch them with statistical relevancy, a tainted process that strays far
from research.
Our forecasts were interpreted incorrectly
and denigrated. We have no desire to direct any traffic to this blog
and if you are interested in seeing the "study," you will have to search
for it.
The blog admits "The Crosscurrents
forecasts/targets frequently include qualifications/embellishments that
makes testing difficult," yet the ratings were undertaken as if gospel.
The blog further admits that "a few very bad forecasts make the average
absolute error high." Ironically, and most disturbingly, those very
same forecasts begin and end with our initial forecast of a secular bear
market bottom at Dow 6400, originally published on our website as far back
as 2003 and published in our Washington, DC speech before the International
Federation of Technical Analysts in November of 2003. However,
as our initially cited
time target was pushed out with each new
forecast, the aforementioned study considered the entire forecast before
it to be utterly wrong and in some cases, awarded us a rating of minus
80% accuracy. That is a stunning misapplication of statistical science,
in that the actual bear market low to date was Dow 6469 print basis on
March 6, 2009. On a number of occasions, we also specified an SPX
low of 680, about as close as one can get to the actual 683 closing low.
We not only forecasted the
actual price bottom with pinpoint accuracy,
we did so six years
before the fact.
Moreover and most importantly, we
typically cite our upside parameters as "potential" and downside parameters
as "risk," in order to highlight both the best and worst possible cases.
The study incorrectly interprets each of these parameters as actual forecasts,
which must, by definition, make one or the other of our parameters hopelessly
wrong. The market cannot move in both directions at once. Thus,
the study misapplies our comments and analysis.
Ironically, the accepted wisdom in
our business is never forecast both price and time together. If a
time is specified, never specify a price. If a price is specified,
never specify a time. It is sufficiently difficult to forecast one
of the two aspects alone. Most forecasters follow this golden rule.
When we issue a forecast, we typically do not follow the golden rule.
However, the denigration of our analysis by this faulted study has cast
a serious pall on our desire to continue publishing price and time forecasts
for the benefit of the public on the free portion of this website.
The Crosscurrents website has had more than three-and-a-half million visitors
since it was established in 1999 and we are quite proud to display just
a few of the many kudos accorded us by readers at http://www.cross-currents.net/kudos.htm.
We did not earn these kudos
by publishing wrong forecasts time after time.
Despite our desire to continue serving
the public, we will no longer expose our analysis to faulty studies on
the free portion of our website. Therefore, our policy has changed.
While we will continue to publish the very popular Pictures of a Stock
Market Mania feature, we will no longer provide any price and time forecasts
or parameters for the public as have accompanied this feature in the past.
The subscriber portion of our website will have the same article accompanied
by price and time forecasts and other parameters as we deem significant,
as it always has. If you wish to see these forecasts and or parameters,
we suggest you subscribe.
You can also get access to our report with a special
three month subscription, only $49 and accompanied by a $49 discount
towards a one-year renewal.
I hope you have enjoyed your visit. Please
return again and feel free to invite your friends to visit as well.

Think oven-fresh strudel stuffed with a tangy lasagna cheese blend of creamy ricotta and mild feta. The remainder of their little menu reads like an abridged Who's Who of the most popular dishes served in the Yugoslavian tradition, with three soups, four salads, five pies, and thirteen grilled and main dishes (the name, ukus, translates to "taste"). But these gigantic pastry pies appear nearly a foot-and-a-half in diameter, and come piping fresh out of the oven throughout the entire day. $4.50 gets you one slice of either the meat, cheese, or spinach pies; and each slice is actually a quarter of the whole pie! It's colossal, and more than enough to share. Ukus (42-08 30th Ave., Astoria) Open daily from 10AM to 11PM (718) 267-8587

AMERICA/PARAGUAY – Vote-buying is a serious sin ", warns the Apostolic Vicar of Pilcomayo
Pilcomayo (Agenzia Fides) - "Vote-buying is not only a fraud but it is also a shame." Warned Mgr. Lucio Alfert, O.M.I., Apostolic Vicar of Pilcomayo, in Paraguay. "It is a sin to be on the part of both buyers and those who sell, " said Mgr. Alfert, adding however that" the most serious sin is he who buys, because it is more educated, knows what he is doing and has authority. The seller is less educated, he needs to eat, and the buyer takes advantage openly about his state of need."
According to a note sent to Fides, Mgr. Alfert urged the natives to be more aware and "not to sell their freedom for a bit of money or food." The Apostolic Vicar also pointed out that there are now locals who choose freely, by no longer selling their vote, unlike before when the exchange of vote had become a scourge because everyone else was doing it. Mgr. Alfert finally reported that there are also people "who pretend to play the game, accepting food offered by a candidate, but then when they vote, vote for someone else."

This sorbet was delicious! All of the flavors were wonderful except that the citrus flavors overpowered the mango so much that it didn't taste anything like mango. I loved this and will make it again but will use another recipe for mango sorbet that doesn't have other flavors.

I got these for my picky son, and he didn't want to take them off. They're super soft and comfy, fit beautifully, & have a great cut. I'm grateful they don't look like frumpy pajamas. I think he could even get away with wearing them to school. We immediately bought another pair. The navy is a deep rich color, as is the black. They wash well too.

You are here
- 3 Tbs. unsalted butter
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1/4 cup plus 1 Tbs. flour
- 4 cups (1 quart) half-and-half
- 3 Tbs. beer
- 1 1/2 Tbs. lemon juice
- 1 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 3 Tbs. Old Bay or Cajun seasoning
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 9 medium red potatoes, sliced 1/8-inch thick
- 2 1/4 cups (about 12 oz.) Andouille sausage, diced
- 1 1/2 cups cooked corn
- 1 lb. medium raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed, and halved
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the celery and onion until soft, then add in the flour, stirring until it is fully moistened. Slowly whisk in half-and-half. Add beer, lemon juice, Worcestershire, Old Bay or Cajun seasoning, bay leaf, and pepper and let mixture simmer for three to four minutes, stirring occasionally so it does not scorch. (Mixture will be thick, but the shrimp will release natural juices during cooking and thin the sauce.) Remove the bay leaf. Fold in the sliced potatoes, sausage, corn, and shrimp and transfer to a 13 x 9-inch shallow casserole pan lightly coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake for 30 to 40 minutes until potatoes are al dente. Uncover and cook an additional 20 minutes or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork and casserole is bubbling. Let the casserole rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Liquid Level Control
Pre-assembled module utilizes two included liquid sensors to provide control intended for "fill" or "drain" of a water tank. "Fill" mode energizes the relay when the lower sensor does not detect the presence of a liquid. The relay de-energizes when the top sensor then detects liquid. "Drain" mode energizes the relay when the top sensor detects the presence of liquid, and de-energizes when the lower sensor no longer detects liquid.
Relay is SPDT with 5A contacts. Requires 12VDC, 60mA. Note: This device is intended for use with water. Use with flammable or corrosive liquids could have hazardous results.
Neat device, controls water level for me quite accurately.

Mont Vernon murder mastermind drops appeal, citing 'personal and moral' reasons
"Mr. Spader indicated to me . that he wished to withdraw his appeal. He indicated that he wished to do so for personal and moral reasons," court-appointed appellate defender Richard E. Samdperil said Friday. He said Spader, 21, did not elaborate.
Samdperil said he filed a motion May 3 to reinstate the Spader's appeal process one week after Hillsborough County Superior Court Judge Gillian L. Abramson resentenced Spader under new guidelines for juvenile murderers set down by the U.S. Supreme Court last year.
Spader, who chose not to attend his April 22 resentencing hearing or have his attorneys present a case on his behalf, was resentenced April 26 to life without parole plus 76 years. This is the same sentence he received after a jury convicted him Nov. 9, 2010, of first-degree murder for hacking Kimberly L. Cates to death and maiming her daughter, Jaimie, then 11, during a pre-dawn bedside ambush and burglary.
"It's pretty unusual that an appeal is withdrawn. I think in Spader's resentencing there was some indication that . he didn't ultimately contest certain things. So I think that is consistent with the fact he chose to withdraw his appeal," the source said.
Spader apologized and asked for forgiveness for the harm he caused not only the Cates family, but also those of his co-defendants and his family.
The state Supreme Court this month upheld accomplice Christopher A. Gribble's convictions on the same charges Spader faced.

A Work of Art
Hi, my name is Alexis Love, and this is my art tumblr.
things i love
Almost all posts will be my own creations. I don't really have a style of art in which I mainly work in, but I do love surrealism, pen art, tattoo art, disturbing art, etc, etc. Basically, anything "off", odd, or "alternative". Some of my favorite artists are Salvador Dali, Tim Burton, Frida Kahlo, Jeffree Fulvimari, Frances Bean Cobain, Sara Jimenez, Kymia Nawabi, Lindsay Ballato Way, Miss Van, and the list goes on. Sadly, I do not have a set "style" of art I have created, but I will soon, I swear. I am a 16 year old figment of your imagination.

Author Writer Humorist Motivational Speaker
I was born in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the
little town of Newberry, home of the state mental
hospital. Born with a purse and lipstick in one hand
and pen in the other I was also born with a very vivid
imagination and the need to write. I moved to Florida
with my family in 1959 and consider myself a
Southerner, reveling in all the quirks, Bubbas, bar-b-
ques, and seafood of Southern life. I travel extensively
talking to anyone who has the misfortune of finding
themselves seated, walking or otherwise beside me.
In the second grade, I wrote my first official story
using the spelling words for the week. The story
revolved around mice that lived in the walls of my
home, drank too much, and partied into the night.
Though counseling was suggested, I avoided that path
and instead chose to continue writing.
I consume books rather than read them. I love to read
anything by Jill Connor Brown – The Sweet Potato
Queen, Robert Fulghum, Celia Rivenbark, any female
humor writer, Susan Elizabeth Phillips and even
Kathleen Woodiwiss.
In 1992 I was diagnosed with lupus, a life-long chronic
illness. At the time I was working as a Network
Engineer. In 2002 my illness forced me to leave that
profession and redirect my life. In 2003 I became the
Executive Director of The Lupus Support Network and
now travel educating others about lupus. Instead of
giving up and focusing on the tragedy of the illness, I
began seeing the humor in life and now write about
what I see and share it with others. My two sons,
three grandsons, and granddaughter are the joys of my
life. I am currently working on three different books of
short humorous pieces about life, especially mine. 'I
do some of the craziest things by accident and freely
confess them in my writing.' Life is the most
interesting topic for any story. I find humor
everywhere I go. I enjoy life, learning and sharing my
stories and adventures with others.

Is Ray Lewis' final curtain call coming soon?
Posted By Tony Lombardi On December 30, 2012 @ 11:18 am In Blog View,Featured,Lombardi's Way | 2 Comments
Although he's listed as "Probable" for today's game in Cincinnati, Ray Lewis will not see the field. Technically it will go on the Gamebook as a "DNP" with an asterisk of some sort in the team's records labeled "coach's decision."
Clearly the Ravens and the future Hall of Famer have their collective sights set on next weekend's Wild Card Game as a return date for No. 52.
Many wonder if that WC Game at M&T Bank Stadium will be the last time Ray exits the tunnel and does his squirrel dance – and with good reason.
Ray has been out since Week 6 when he suffered the torn triceps against the Dallas Cowboys. For most NFL players, such injuries [1]occurring that late into the season more times than not result in an Injured Reserve designation.
But Ray Lewis isn't like most NFL players.
The Ravens' general has been rehabbing his injury vigorously. Word is he has consulted with European doctors to accelerate the recovery period through traditional and non-traditional means so that he can return to the field THIS SEASON.
Does his insatiable desire to get back on the field raise your suspicions about Ray's future? Could it be that given his tremendous pride that he doesn't want to retire injured? With all he's done in his career, continually overcoming odds; staring down adversity time and time again; possessing an incomparable will to persevere and succeed – isn't it possible that Ray's extreme determination has everything to do with him not wanting to go out on his proverbial shield?
And if you buy that this is Ray's motivating force, why the race, the sweat, the hours of grueling rehab to return for potentially just one game if he intends to return in 2013?
The signs point to this being Ray's last hurrah.
Enjoy it and him while it lasts.
There will NEVER be another player to grace the Ravens sidelines and reach the heart of Baltimore like Ray Anthony Lewis [2].[3]
