Gold's Gym, which hasn't been a health-club player in San Joaquin County since the '80s, intends to re-enter the Stockton market by opening two centers within the next two years or so.
Gold's Gym, which hasn't been a health-club player in San Joaquin County since the '80s, intends to re-enter the Stockton market by opening two centers within the next two years or so.
The Dallas-based company is on a growth spurt, especially in California, and in the next two years intends to add at least 20 new clubs to the 45 gyms already in the state, said Keith Albright, senior vice president of franchising for Gold's Gym International.
The company absolutely will develop the Stockton clubs but is looking for a franchisee first and sites second, he said.
"Out of the box, it looks to us as a two-gym market to start," Albright said. "We are going to do it, given the fact that we have a fair amount of franchisees to draw from."
Many metro markets are very competitive in the fitness center sector, he said, and California is especially well-developed in the fitness scene.
That won't deter Gold's, which is doing very well with standardized top-quality centers and a name-recognition in the fitness scene second to none, Albright said.
"We've definitely never been scared out of a market because there's already somebody in there, and they have a half-dozen clubs," he said. "We believe we can compete in any market."
The major player in the regional health club market is Stockton-based In-Shape Health Clubs, which has 23 clubs from Stockton to Bakersfield and three more in the works.
Rob Farrens, co-owner of Stockton-based In-Shape Health Clubs, said he was surprised to hear that Gold's would want to open a club in this area, considering that In-Shape has been aggressively investing in its club, including renovations and opening new centers.
In-Shape has five clubs in Stockton, and the company is investing $6 million to improve centers at Quail Lakes and West Lane, he said.
"Nobody else will be able to build a club that will be able to provide comparable facilities and amenities at the same price," he said. "For our price range, there is nowhere that comes close to the overall amenities offered in Stockton."
Perry Thomas of Rocklin opened a 45,000-square-foot Gold's Gym in Natomas in 2004 and an identical center a year ago in Elk Grove. The franchises have been "wonderful," he said, opening with between 1,500 and 2,000 members and growing to about 5,000 in Natomas and 4,000 in Elk Grove.
"It's not your muscle-head gym anymore," he said. "That stigma has gone away."
He said he might be interested in opening a Gold's Gym in Stockton, even though the fitness club scene is very competitive there.
"I think the Central Valley is ripe for Gold's right now."
Albright said Gold's biggest growth is coming from baby boomers, who are increasingly joining health clubs for improved health, fitness and physical appearance. Women make up 56 percent of membership, he added.
He said he couldn't speak specifically about the Gold's Gyms in Stockton, Tracy and Lodi that shut down in the '80s. The Gold's Gyms of today are much different across the board than the gyms in the '70s and '80s, when the company was going through its first big growth spurt via licensing, he said.
"Twenty to 25 years ago, we were still in the mode of, 'Here's your sign. Put it up. Good luck.' " Albright said. "We're a totally different company than we were then."
The look of the Stockton gyms remains to be determined, mainly by the franchisee, he said. The company expands these days only by franchises, which each cost $25,000 up front with a monthly fee of 3 percent of gross plus 2 percent of gross for advertising.
A new gym typically opens from 18 to 24 months after a franchisee signs a contract with Gold's, he said.
Most new sites are new development and represent an average investment of more than $2 million for the smallest club size of about 20,000 square feet, Albright said. Club sizes can go as big as a 147,000-square-foot Gold's Gym in upstate New York with swimming pools, basketball courts and an indoor soccer field with seating.
He said Gold's Gyms aren't low-end health centers with low monthly fees and equipment and services to match. A Gold's Gym probably is a few dollars a month more expensive than a comparable health club facility, he said, but worth the money.
Sign-up fees are about $100, and that may be discounted or eliminated as a promotion, he said. The average monthly fee for a single runs in the range of $30 to $40, depending on the scale of the center.
John McBride, director of athletic performance at St. Mary's High and a private sports performance coach, said that from a franchisee's perspective, "you're paying a lot of money for the Gold's name."
But with the Gold's name, a franchise also would have the opportunity to get big name bodybuilders or fitness experts for clinics.
"In-Shape City can't do that," he said.
McBride described himself as "snobbish" about fitness centers and said it's not easy to find a really good one equipped with the best.
Most, including the dominant names of 24-Hour Fitness and In-Shape, amount more to a "modern-day singles bar" where many people go to gawk at others, he said.
Gold's coming into town will make the competition stand up taller, he said.
"Just a different name is good to have in this city," he said. "If it's new, I'm going to bet it's going to be first class."
Joel Herche, an associate professor of marketing with University of the Pacific's Eberhardt School of Business, said Gold's indeed has a golden brand name, and that's valuable.
But much of that conjures up images of Arnold Schwarzenegger and muscle builders, he said.
That won't help Gold's draw women or baby boomers looking for fitness and health benefits at a club, he said.
"The image of that brand is not consistent with that market," Herche said. "It's got work to do. The job isn't done just because you've built a good brand image."
Still, it's hard to argue with Gold's success, he said, and it's huge in some markets.
There are no Gold's Gyms in San Joaquin County. The closest locations are in Elk Grove, Sacramento, Roseville and Modesto.

A small party of a dozen centaurs and half that many elven nobles on suspiciously horn-equipped horses quickly outpaces the bulk of the faerie army. As they catch up to the party, Tristan and Mark wheel away to meet them, drawing their swords. Mark's Warden blade runs through a centaur and drops him quickly. Tristan's is a strange, long blade with a decreasing-radius curve. With one heavy blow he entirely severs the "man" section of another centaur from its "horse" body. The battle proceeds from there. Aeryn nukes the entire oncoming party, killing one centaur outright and wounding almost all of the rest. Crichton attempts the same, with less success. Rygel throws a glamour over several of the centaurs, making them appear as Outsiders and causing some friendly fire. Things don't go quite so well from there. Blows are traded for a while, but soon Tristan falls, then Mark as well. Rygel first draws attention to himself, then surrenders, tying up several of the attackers in rounding him up and hauling him back to the enemy camp. An elven caster first blinds most of the party, then ties Crichton and the rangers up in living thorned vines. Finally, the party wins in a battle of attrition. The last elf's parting shot nearly takes Aeryn between the eyes, but with a Herculean effort D'Argo shoves Aeryn out of the way and takes the arrow himself. Rygel is seen being carried over the ridge down to the camp before the party rides away, carrying Tristan and Mark as they wake up.
They ride to the forest and make camp. Medical attention is given all around – Mark gets his boot in on Crichton after getting some foul treatment – and the party rests. They make plans to wait for and join with the approaching human army, organize them to build siege and anti-infantry weapons, and approach the camp with the intent to hold or break them there. Mark quickly sketches plans for several easily-constructed siege weapons, a few of the usual trebuchets and ballistas, but one a very interesting design for an emplaced repeating crossbow, which he says he learned in his Army days. Crichton begins to wonder just what army Mark was a part of, and when.
Rygel awakens in a canvas tent, his hands free but both hobbled and tied to a post by a vine. He attempts to remove it, but as he does, it binds itself tighter and tighter to him. After some time a Summer noble enters with a tray of food which he tosses on the ground. Rygel contemptuously kicks it over and demands better treatment, respect, information, etc. They trade words for a while. Rygel manages to convince him, or at least worry him, that he's allied with Mab. The noble leaves Rygel abruptly. He's fed again later in the day, but that faerie says nothing at all. The next morning, the first faerie noble is back, with bronze manacles and a pair of orcish guards. Rygel is bound by the manacles and cut free of the vine. They march him through the camp to a great silk tent, where he's shoved inside to meet a half-dozen noble halberdiers, a pair of ten-foot-tall Gruff bodyguards, and the general of the faerie camp. It seems Rygel is to be held for ransom against the party's return. The conversation begins frostily but Rygel's social skills gain him a measure of respect, and eventually even convince the general to let him talk privately. They agree to each answer one question asked by the other. Rygel asks where the gate at Stonehenge leads. The general replies that it leads "to Summer in midsummer." The general asks about Rygel's prior statement that there is some kind of cataclysmic event coming, specifically what he believes the outcome or results of that event will be. Rygel replies cryptically that it involves the weakening of the barriers between worlds and will be disastrous, and that he should not speak more of it, but that the general knows what he means. And indeed, it appears he does. The general resummons his guards and dismisses Rygel, but with orders that he be better fed.

Scientists find missing link between small and super-massive black holesSeptember 18th, 2008 - 3:16 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, September 18 (ANI): Scientists at Durham University in the UK have found the missing link between small and super-massive black holes.
For the first time, the researchers have discovered that a strong X-ray pulse is emitting from a giant black hole in a galaxy 500 million light years from Earth.
The pulse has been created by gas being sucked by gravity on to the black hole at the centre of the REJ1034+396 galaxy.
X-ray pulses are common among smaller black holes, but the Durham research is the first to identify this activity in a super-massive black hole.
Most galaxies, including the Milky Way, are believed to contain super-massive black holes at their centres.
The researchers have said that their discovery will increase the understanding of how gas behaves before falling on to a black hole as it feeds and develops.
Astronomers have been studying black holes for decades and are able to see them due to the fact that gas gets extremely hot and emits X-rays before it is swallowed completely and is lost forever.
Using Europes powerful X-ray satellite, XMM-Newton, they found that X-rays are being emitted as a regular signal from the super-massive black hole.
The frequency of the pulse is related to the size of the black hole.
According to Dr Marek Gierlinski, in the Department of Physics, at Durham University, Such signals are a well known feature of smaller black holes in our Galaxy when gas is pulled from a companion star.
The really interesting thing is that we have now established a link between these light-weight black holes and those millions of times as heavy as our Sun, he added.
Scientists have been looking for such behaviour for the past 20 years and our discovery helps us begin to understand more about the activity around such black holes as they grow, said Gierlinski.
Durhams scientists hope future research will tell them why some super-massive black holes show this behaviour while others do not. (ANI)

the child, parents and others.
Is there a typical
CASA volunteer?
No. CASA volunteers come from
all walks of life, with a variety of educational, work experiences,
life skills and ethnic backgrounds. What CASA volunteers do
have in common is their sincere concern for children.

abuse to family dynamics and advocacy skills are covered in CASA
How does the CASA
volunteer relate to the child he or she represents?
CASA Volunteers offer children
trust, consistency and advocacy during complex and often times
confusing legal proceedings. They explain to the child the
events that are happening, the reasons they are in court, and the
role of the Judge, the lawyers and the social workers. While
remaining objective observers, the CASA volunteers also encourage
the children to express their opinions and hopes.
How many cases, on an
average, does a CASA volunteer carry at one time?
The number varies by volunteer,
however most CASA volunteers work with one family.
How much time does it
require to be a CASA volunteer?
Each case is different. A
CASA volunteer usually spend more time doing research and
conducting interviews prior to the first court appearance.
More complicated cases take longer. Once initiated into the
system, volunteers donates approximately 8 - 10 hours
per month.
How long does a CASA
volunteer remain involved with a case?
CASA volunteers stay appointed to
the case until the case is resolved. That may be when the
children are safely at home with their parents, living with family
members or placed permanently in an adoptive home. This
may take a varied amount of time. Most children's cases take
1 year to 18 months to resolve.
Are there any other
agencies or groups that provide the same service?
No. CASA programs are the
only agency to train community volunteers to act as the child's
voice in court.
Why are CASA's
assigned to children's cases?
CASA's are assigned to provide a
voice in court and to speak up for the child's best
interests. Volunteers provide extra monitoring of the child
and act as beneficial watchdogs the court and child protection
Do CASA's
really make a difference for children?
Yes! CASA volunteers provide
continuity, advocacy and concern for each child they are working
with. Studies show that children assigned CASA
volunteers have fewer moves while in foster placement,
receive more services, are visited more and end up in safe,
permanent homes quicker than those children without CASA
volunteers. Children's lives are improved with the help
of a CASA volunteer.

Alessandro Bazzana (Team Type 1-Sanofi) has opened his account for the season after taking stage one of the Österreich-Rundfahrt – the Tour of Austria – in Innsbruck today. The 27-year-old outdueled Francesco Gavazzi (Astana), who was second, while Marco Canola (Colnago-CSF Inox) was third.
While the race's defending overall champion, Frederick Kessiakoff (Astana) is not in the race, having earned a trip to the Tour de France, his Kazakhstan-based squad controlled throughout the day, trying to set up their sprinter Gavazzi. Astana did much of the work to bring back the day's breakaway, but would have to settle for second.
Having figured that Bazzana was the strongest of the Type 1-Sanofi lot, the American Continental squad used young Georg Preidler to lead out the Italian.
"In the final lap the peloton all came back together, and we talked among the team to find out who was feeling strong," Bazzana explained. "I felt very good all day, and so Preidler got in front of me with 5km to go and took me all the way to the front. In the final thousand meters the road went uphill very sharply, and I watched some other teams try to get away with 300 meters [to go] into the final hairpin curve.
"With 50 meters to go I saw the last rider in front of me crack open, and I passed him with no time to take my hands off the handlebars."
"We started off with our big man Laszlo Bodrogi in the breakaway, and that took all the pressure off our guys to chase," team manager Vassili Davidenko added. "The temperature was hot, 36 degrees, and the hills were tough. Then when the breakaway was reeled in and the peloton knew a big sprint was coming, our rider with diabetes Javier Megias went to the front and set a strong pace to keep any new breakaways from forming. In the end Bazzana showed how strong he truly is in the finale and we showed how strong we are as a team."
It took 45 minutes of racing on the hot day before the main breakaway was established, as Yohan Bagot (Cofidis), Matthias Brandle (NetApp), and Riccardo Zoidl (RC Arbö Wels Gourmetfein) got away, with Bodrogi and then Stefan Praxmarer (Tirol Cycling Team) eventually joining.
The route featured five circuits, totaling 153 kilometers, and five times up the category-four Neu Götzens climb. Acqua & Sapone assisted Astana with the work at the front of the peloton, and the gap to the break topped out at seven minutes before coming down in plenty of time for the finish.
As the gap tumbled, the breakaway steadily came apart, with Bagot and Zoidl the last to be swallowed up after Bagot had secured the mountains jersey. The bunch stayed together on the final riser just before the finish, and Bazzana grabbed victory number one for the season.
Stage two features the hors catégorie summit finish on the Kitzbüheler Horn. The finish should suit overall threats such as Jakob Fuglsang (Radioshack-Nissan), Simon Spilak (Katusha), Benat Intxausti (Movistar) or the Acqua & Sapone duo of Danilo di Luca and Carlos Alberto Betancur.

OPELOUSAS — The St. Landry Parish Council voted Thursday to seek a state attorney general's opinion on whether sales tax revenue collected from unincorporated areas of the parish can be used for road maintenance and construction inside incorporated areas of the parish.
A motion for the legal opinion came after Parish President Bill Fontenot and several members of the council engaged in a heated discussion over a proposed intergovernmental agreement for road improvements made to three roads located within Cankton.
Councilwoman Pam Gautreau read from a 2-cent parishwide sales tax proposition approved in 2013 that said revenues from the tax are to be used "exclusively" for projects outside unincorporated areas.
Gautreau said one of the roads, Savoie Road, passes through Cankton and that portion of the road should not be overlaid with funds from the 2-cent sales tax.
The other two roads in Cankton under consideration for paving with the sales tax money include Menard Road and Credeuer Road, according to a Public Works Committee report read at the meeting. The estimated cost of paving the three roads is $600,000.
Fontenot said he is sure paving Savoie Road won't violate any aspect of the 2-cent tax proposition because it is a parish road that has been maintained by parish government for the past 20 years.
Councilman Wayne Ardoin said the 2-cent sales tax also has supported road construction through Eunice, Port Barre and Krotz Springs, but those municipalities paid a portion of the project costs. Ardoin said Cankton has not offered to help pay for the construction being done to road projects in that village.
John Trahan, a resident who spoke on the issue during the meeting, said he voted for the sales tax with the intent of having improvements done on roads outside the city limits.
"Now it seems that some are being paved inside the city," Trahan said. "How far do we go?"
Fontenot said that sometimes roads that were once outside the city limits have been annexed by municipalities and should be considered parish roads.
In another matter, the council voted 9-2 to accept proposals from nonprofit parish entities for funding projects of historical importance.
The motion followed consideration of funding requests by a group representing the former Sunset High School and the St. Landry Preservationist Society to help refurbish the Michel Prudhomme home in Opelousas.
In December, a group representing the former high school requested up to $50,000 for asbestos abatement at the school. The council delayed action until a budget was passed for the fiscal year that began in 2015.
No specific amount was requested by the preservationists, according to the meeting agenda.
Gautreau said parish government originally created the Historical Development Fund for such projects, including the Old City Market building and the Delta Grand Theater, both located on Opelousas' courthouse square.

Deciding what kind of boat insurance coverage you need depends on many variables. To start off, the type of insurance you need depends on what kind of boat you have. Being familiar with boats you would need to look at the different variations between the various types of boats that are in the world.
For instance, a speedboat capable of high speeds requires a much different type of insurance than a small fishing vessel would because of the potential liability for the insurance company that comes with a speedboat compared to a fishing boat.
Another consideration is the value of the boat. Insurance rates covering a highly expensive craft are going to be higher because the amount that could be lost is much higher. If instead you are watering a small, low cost boat and you want coverage against damage to other boats that you may come in contact with, then the rates would be much lower,
There are many similarities between boat and car insurance. Risk assessment for an insurance company is based on many factors with car insurance just the same with boat insurance. Before an insurance company will offer any kind of coverage for a water craft they will make sure to determine all the possible ways that the coverage could cost them money. To do this they will take the age of the boat, the record of the owner and primary driver, the value of the boat and the area where the boat will he housed for at least six months out of a year.
Just like automobile insurance, there are two distinct types of boat insurance. Full coverage insurance is just like it sounds, it covers pretty much everything including loss due to theft, fire, accident, and many other types as well. There are several clauses involved in full coverage insurance that work to limit the liability that the insurance company will need to cover that these are par for the course with an insurance company. Full coverage insurance is normally mandatory when you finance a boat or a car for that matter. This is in place to protect the bank against loss should anything happen to the boat before it is paid for. Full coverage insurance is the most expensive of all insurance plans as the risk to the insurance company is the greatest with this type of policy.
When financial loss will not be great and a budget is stretched a little thin then you may want to consider liability only insurance. Under a liability only policy, the insurance company is responsible to pay for only damage to other persons or property and the owner of the boat receives nothing. This is the basic insurance required by law for cars and in some areas it is required for boats as well depending on the size and usage of the craft. This type of insurance does not protect against loss of any type and will pay only a specified amount for injured persons in the case of an accident.
You should check your local laws requiring insurance on watercraft to be sure that you are staying within the parameters.

Global Equities Bull Run Intact
The first positive development was that stocks were able to successfully hold key support levels for another day. Stocks as measured by the S&P 500 Index made an early run at its 100-day moving average, which has served as reliable support on four occasions since the beginning of 2013, but at its lows of 1916, the index never came closer than five points to this support level, currently at 1911. And the S&P 500 still remains a solid distance away from its 150-day moving average, which provided key support during the correction at the beginning of 2014, currently at 1883. In short, the recent correction over the last two days at least to this point continues to represent nothing more than a pullback in a longer-term uptrend.
When looking at immediate trends, one cannot really be looking at fundamentals alone. The price volume data reveals the underlying thinking of Mr. Market. In both the charts above, Russell 2000 and Nasdaq, the more reflective and broad based indicators, showed that both markets were actually quite finished with the selling and is close to oversold levels. I am not the only person watching these charts. They almost always, always bounce off the 30% level, which is where they are at now.
Looking at local equities, the sharp reversal on Friday morning brings forth a lot of positives. The bounce back by many "hot stocks" indicate that the underlying sentiment and strength are very strong locally. What was more surprising was that more than 15 stocks broke their 52 week high during the last 3 trading days. I am confident that the bull has not been hurt at all.

Since 2009, every mart correction, has been a buying opportunity. Market not only rebounded back to its previous high, but also set new highs & continously set record highs over the last few years. This uptrend, of course cannot go on forever. But those who have followed this current trend, have been well... And, those who have dared to go against it, well the least said the better!
Those who have had tried timing market by selling during every mart pullbacks & buying back later, wouldn't possibly have got their timing right all this past 5 years. Often they sold too soon, and bought back too late. Sometimes, the counter they sold not only didn't drop, but also had gone up instead. Some too may have totally miss the rebound, as they weren't convince of the sustainability...
I, too can't outsmart mart, can you?
I believe those who have stayed fully invested throughout, are the real gainers here. Plus, they don't have to endure as much angst, stress...
Now i began to appreciate the wisdom of long term investors like Warren Buffett & Tan Teng Boo!

From 65 pts in the red to 8 pts in the black in Friday's European trading,I lock in 5 pts and waited to be stop out.Of course I knew that the stops will be hit,but the thrill of being in the black and still in the market after sweating for months is worth the 3 pts.Honestly I would be a happy camper with a 20 pts loss.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is no big deal.It happens every 5 years or so.Hopefully,this time the Palestinians will learn their lesson,and leave the Israelis alone and never bother them again forever.Just like the Sunni's and Shite's this is a never ending affair.
The Argentine mess will be a forgotten affair soon,and the hedge funds will get pennies for their dollars as offered.The Argentines have told them to go f*ck themselves,umpteen times already.
Soon Putin will feel the heat and his knees will feel the wobbling of a creep that he is.To save face he will come out with the usual big talk and later offer to put pressure on the separatists to a ceasefire and have tea with the Ukranian leaders for a chit chat.
After the Ukranian tea party,the warring factions will have a party for the bulls.A relief rally will pull the markets to a new high.I figure the S&P will top in the 2025-2050 range.I will go short again at 2010 and higher.As I have said before,I am not that brave to be a bull and would prefer to play the market at the short side.Let the bulls do the final dance by pushing the heavily loaded train up hill.
If the markets were to make another all time highs,it will not last long.The next target after will be 1860-1760 in the S&P's.If it breaks 1760 all hell will break loose and will revisit the subprime levels or lower.Dow 5,000-3,000?
Now that I am free and have gotten rid of the monkey on my shoulders,let us go back to the markets that we excelled in,the Fx market.Early next week,let us go counter trend and buy the Kiwi which has given up 350 pips the last couple of weeks.After 100-150 pips profit we will go flat and re-evaluate the trade,wait for a correction and see if the up trend in the Kiwi will continue.
If the up trend in the Kiwi continues expect an all time highs of 92 cts.If a top is in by year's end it will be at around 75 cts.
Happy trading and cheers.

The Russell 2000 is breaking down first.Like all markets it is the blue chips which rallied first,followed by the second and third liners and then the 1-2 penny stocks.When going down the hill it is always the penny stocks and third liners leading the pack.
It is a percusor of worst things to come.This is the first sign of the orange lights flashing.Soon the bulls will be loaded up onto the trailers bound for the slaughterhouse.You guys better believe it that the Dow will eventually be en-route to 5k or below.Ignore my well intended advice at your own peril,especially the professor with his buy and hold forever strategy.
- bruno said...
Why I say the markets will tank sooner than later.
1)The feds have painted them selves into a corner,with no alternative plans out.
2)The over confident and complacent bulls.The experts on business channels and media cannot have enough of this bull,that they have to gobbled up this bull plus more.
3)That the feds will be there whenever the markets are in trouble and need them,only thing is that QE will end soon and the feds have run out of bullets with their always prolong period of never ending lower rates.What will happen when the markets forced their hands?
4)The subprime mess in the US is not over yet.The markets and economy are doing fine so the mess is being push aside for the time being,as the media and business channels with their expert guests are more concerned and interested in the bull markets in stock then talk about housing mess.Even the federally funded scheme set up to bail house owners underwater out will eventually fail.Who is going to pay for the rescued homeowners lowered mortgages if they do not have a job,good paying jobs or sufficient incomes to pay mortgages after putting aside for three decent meals a day plus neccesities.
5)The housing bubbles in China which eventually will burst and will be felt the continents over.
6)Like I said before the Pigg's nations will come back and revisit their benefactors,the EU sooner rather than later.

Many have earned the title, "the man/woman who manage to forecast 12 of the last 2 market crash". Some have even managed to predict 20 mart crashes that have yet to happen! But who knows maybe this 21st time... If not than the 22nd, or 23rd...
Better still, just repeat the same mantra every 2 months.Of course they will get it right one day, eventually - and then they would declare, ""See, I told you so, I'm so clever!"".
Lol, just joking only-ah!
- bruno said...
Kevin Wong,
Trading is a game where traders try to outwit the other guy taking an opposite position.It is good to be able to predict market clashes.The only thing is that I have been searching for that one particular crystal ball that can do so.Since the day I started trading about thirty five years ago,and I am still searching for that particular crystal ball till today.
Trading is trying to anticipate what the market is likely to do next.And to take that trade and sit and wait for the market to tell us if we are right or wrong.That is why we have protective stops.If we are stopped out,it means that our timing is not right.Or rather we are wrong.
I have said many times before, being right or wrong of the trend is of no importance to me.Being a technical trader I trade counter trends most of the time.Sometimes when volatility is high I flipped positions several times a day.
And I have said before that,I have been profitable so many times when being wrong.If one were to trade counter trend and made money,you would have to be wrong to made money.Or else I would not still be in this game.
Before I used to post my trades as soon as I made them and also when I exit them.You can refer back to the old posts for the time the trades were taken.But I do not do that now,or else I might have to charge you too(just joking only,lah).In fact I cannot remember any losing month until this f*ckup S&P trade,which I finally made some bits after sweating it out for months.But I would have taken my losses in stride if I was stop out and never lose a second's sleep.I have been in this game long enough to know that losing is just part of the game.
By the way I have gone long the Kiwi at 0.8510 basis cash.(all my charts are on cash basis so as not to have gaps like in futures charts.Happy trading guys.
- Kevin Wong said...
Dear bruno,
I'm refering to those who are bearish on stock markets, especially those doomsayers of NYSE & Bursa. If i were a a trader of the S&P, i would have most likely have a long over short ratio of 5 to 2 since 2009.Not only because i'm bullish during this period, but isn't it the only way to make money as a trader during uptrends? Even bearish traders would have gone long, maybe every long for every 2 shorts in this current very bullish uptrend.
How many times have you long the S&P since 2010? How come yor're so negative on stock markets, you have something personal against stock markets? You don't have to answer me of course, as i'm just a small & humble investor.
Wishing you the best & successful trading,

yes, gonna be a wild August (up)... maybe spillover to early Sept, worry comes later into oct... my master says 2020 to 2070, then Oct low to 1850... then up again to 2020 or byond end of year and that's it... CNN says http://money.cnn.com/data/fear-and-greed/
extreme fear now... so buy the opposite of mainstream media...
- bruno said...
Kevin Wong,
I have been short the S&P many times from 2010 forward.Do I lose money on the way up?No.Do I make a lot of money shorting the markets?No,just peanuts.Most of my profits came from the Fx markets.
What I want to point out is that markets cannot go up forever.And this bull market is being fueled by the world's central bankers.Earnings are good as the lower greenback help U.S. multi nationals doing business overseas.And their earnings looks very good because they are hoarding their cash instead of re-investing or upgrading their plants in the US.
And not to forget many were on the brink of going belly up if not for Uncle Sam and Big Benny coming to the rescue.I have already stated my views why I said that the markets will have a party for the bulls before all hell breaks loose.We do not have to wait long.The most is weeks or a few months down the road.Will this bull last till next year?My 2 cts worth is a big 'NO'.What I am saying is to get prepared for the next phrase,that is the big bear.I may be wrong but definitely a 10 -20% correction is the minimum to expect,if not a full blown bear market.
- bruno said...
Although the Dow was up seventy five pts today,and the greenback was soft the stock market and the currencies have got no legs.This will mean more weakness ahead,at least for the next few days.Or is it the start of bigger things to come.
Kiwi stops move to breakeven.In the money for 15 ticks,but I have reservations about this trade.
- bruno said...
We got chased out of the Kiwi at break even.
- bruno said...
I have gone long the Kiwi again at .8470,40 pics below where I got stopped out.As a trader my objective is to take advantage of volatility.Stops at .8440,twenty pips below last week's low.
- bruno said...
This afternoon the Kiwi sunk to .8451 about 10 pips below last Friday's low.That means last Friday's after NFP rally is wave (iv) and the plunge today is wave (v) but 10 pips is too shallow to call wave (v).In Wednesday Asian trading expect a low of around .8420 area.
So instead of taking off at break even,Kiwi is now at .8471,stop loss will be lowered to .8388 so as not to miss a three or five wave rally after wave (v) is over,if it is not done already.
- bruno said...
Wednesday morning in Asian trading the Kiwi drop to .8423 and made an intraday high of .8488 in NA trading.Stops moved up to .8422.If over .85 stops move to breakeven.

Sanjay Gandhi, the younger scion of Indira Gandhi, had a big penchant for cars. After a three-year internship with Rolls Royce in India, when Sanjay came back to India in 1968, he told his queen mother about a dream to make cars.
Mrs Gandhi, who was extremely fond of her younger son, nodded, and in 1970, the PM's cabinet suggested bringing out a cheap 'people's car', something that was affordable, efficient, and importantly, made in India.
Sanjay had no blueprint of a running car model, but he being the uncrowned prince, elicited an exclusive production license from his mother's regime. Soon, Maruti Motors Limited was formed, and in 1971, Sanjay assumed the role of the company's managing director. But Maruti had neither any design to work on, nor any tie-up with any car manufacturer.
So next, Sanjay produced a car prototype. He made the chassis at a workshop near Delhi's Gulabi Bagh, an area frequented by truckers. The machine contained miscellaneous parts sourced from different places: few parts from the Jama Masjid area, a motorcycle engine to run the car. After a few more additions, the car was run in Ahmednagar, but it failed the test.
Nonetheless Indira Gandhi, like a proud parent, showcased the botched up prototype as the model of success. But her attempt to hogwash was booed by the public. Soon, a small army of Sanjay started looking around for land.
Haryana's chief minister, Bansi Lal, not wanting to anger Mrs Gandhi, gave away farm land to Maruti in dirt cheap rates. In the meanwhile, Sanjay contacted Volkswagen for a possible tie-up to jointly manufacture the Beetle in India. But the talks fell flat.
In 1974, when Emergency was declared in India, Sanjay Gandhi assuming the unofficial role of the PM's chief advisor, used his political clout to coerce banks and investors to put money in his venture. Reluctant investors and bank personnel were arrested and put behind bars on bogus charges. The same year, the Congress government granted Maruti an industrial licence to produce 50,000 cars.
An executive who worked for one of the Singhania companies was arrested under the dreaded Maintenance of Internal Security Act in November 1975 and later his detention was continued under the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Act. A detention order against one of the Singhanias was also issued under MISA.
The day businesses affiliated to the Singhania family started buying Maruti shares, the executive and the family member were let go. Another dealer who demanded his deposit back because no cars were made was arrested under and imprisoned for two months.
Not a single car was produced by Maruti since its inception in 1971. When Indira Gandhi lost the general elections in 1977, the Opposition, led by the Janata Dal, liquidated the car company.
Maruti sat duck till Sanjay's death in a plane crash in 1980. Indira Gandhi, who had regained her PM post by then, after a discussion with Arun Nehru, decided to get professional expertise to give wings to deceased son's dreams.
After much research and visits, Indira's men brought in Japanese motor maker Suzuki that trimmed Sanjay's prototype and built a car meant for the Indian roads. And Maruti 800 finally rolled out into the roads in 1983.

Cheap Crossbows
Different Types Of Cheap Crossbows
Whereas you have to own a special type of permit in the United Kingdom if you want to hunt or shoot with firearms, there are no restrictions on the ownership of cheap crossbows, making these powerful bows an excellent way for sportsmen to pursue their hobbies. Here you will find the best selection of our cheap crossbows here
Simplicity Is Inexpensive with cheap crossbows
Just like you would not expect a cheap car to have many of the great features of a high-end model, so too can you expect that a cheap crossbow will be one that has very few additions to it. A simple crossbow may have nothing more than the draw weight and the trigger itself, whereas a more expensive model will tack on a scope, stabilizer, automatic loader, and impact cushioning.
Pull Hard
It is very rare to find a compound crossbow that is less expensive than a basic bow on account of the extra system of gears that the draw string utilizes in order to reduce the drag on the loading. A compound crossbow is similar to a compound bow in that it requires much less effort to pull back on the string because the tension is lessened through a system of levers.
Size Matters with cheap crossbows
If you are above five foot ten or below five foot even, you do not need to worry much about the size of a crossbow: those who are very tall can use nearly any size, while those who are very short will need the smallest possible or else they will not be able to cock and fire.
Bells And Whistles with cheap crossbows
For some people, the fun part of shooting crossbows is how ancient the technology is. After all, the Roman Empire perfected the basic idea of pulling back on a heavy wire to launch an arrow across a battlefield -- even the most modern crossbows have not changed from this basic principle.
Minimizing The Cost Of Accessories with cheap crossbows
When you are shopping for sportsman's gear, cheap crossbows may only be half the total package.
Some facts about the history of cheap crossbows

Mystery Shopping is a specialized research methodology used for measuring, monitoring, and maintaining operational standards and compliance of customer service and operations within a company. For companies that operate numerous locations, Mystery Shopping quantifies how each unit operates comparatively to predefined standards of expectation.
A mystery shopping 'assignment' can be a telephone call, website survey or a store visit. It involves observing pre-decided set of things very sharply (during the assignment) and writing about them in a detailed questionnaire (after the assignment).
Anyone, who has a natural inclination to observe while shopping and cares about the service they receive can become a mystery shopper. Also, they should be able to write down their feedback in detailed format.
Before you visit the location, you would be given a set of instructions to follow. You may need to ask for information about a product or a service to judge the level of product knowledge the staff members have. After you have completed your shopping trip, you will need to fill an online feedback form about your experience.
To become a Mystery Shopper, you must complete a registration form which is available on our website. Once you have properly completed and submitted the registration, you will automatically be added to the electronic database Mystery Shoppers.
Absolutely! Phantom India loves giving new shoppers a chance to start mystery shopping. We do not train mystery shoppers, but feel we can give you the proper guidelines to successfully complete a first mystery shop. We're always here to help and guide you through your first mystery shop.
Payments vary depending on each project. Payment is determined based on time required to conduct the shop, the length of the reporting form, and time required to submit the mystery shop report. Every project varies and client fees and reimbursements (if applicable) are mentioned in the mystery shop posting.
Our clients may or may not reimburse for fuel, tolls or parking. This is determined, on a project-by-project basis, depending on the client requisites. If you decide to work outside of your immediate area, you are responsible for any associated costs.
Payments are processed by us between the 15th and the 30th/31st of each month for jobs completed between the 1st and 30th of the previous month. Payments are made via Electronic Funds Transfer to your nominated bank account.

Submitted by Nicole Ford, who calls herself a Pennsylvania Easyboot Worshipper:
If you are a horse person, you know how sad it is when you have a lame horse, let alone a horse that is lame for a long period of time. My horse had been lame for more than a year and I thought he would never recover. I thought about turning him out to pasture - I had lost hope. About a month ago, I changed farriers and the new farrier suggested that I pull his shoes and get Easyboots with Comfort Pads. We do not have a local tack shop, so I drove two hours to buy them.
Fast forward a few weeks and I am covered in goosebumps as I type: I have my horse back! He is sound, moving beautifully, happy and any other adjective that you can think of! If I could reach through this computer screen and hug someone at EasyCare, I would do just that.

I made myself put up all the groceries I'd just gotten before opening the huge envelope. Tee hee. What fun.

|My packets arrived today too, and made me feel better than I have in the past couple weeks. My mother passed away recently and, gardener and bargain-hunter that she was, I know she would have been impressed with how much I got for $7 due to all you generous people. (I'd included a few vegetables for her, which I'm probably now going to have to learn to grow myself!)
Alana, I didn't realize how many of your seeds I'd picked until I saw them all together in one bundle, but you have such good stuff. I actually did send out a few more packets than I took in, so I'm resolutely not going to feel guilty about being such a hog!

|Mine are here Haven't opened them yet, sick with the flu, hoping by weekend I'll get some started. Again Alana for all your hard work and a big thanks to all the generous traders that allowed me to get some great seeds.
It happens in a flash, but the memory of it last forever. It can not be borrowed or stolen, and it is of no earthly good until it is given away. So if in your hurry you meet someone who is too weary to smile, leave him one of yours, for no one needs a smile quite as much as he who has none to give...

|Ronnie, what a time to have the flu!
I got the few seeds missing from Sorellina's package today. I'll get those packed up for the 4-5 people that need them this weekend.
I'll have to play that podcast Dave. I have 3-4 things from my haul I'm going to wintersow, but a lot of it is going on the heat mats this weekend.

|I just got done going through the seeds, and am very excited to start sowing this weekend! Special thanks to @danita, @mrsbinwy, and @poisondartfrog for the great gifts. Alana, don't worry about sending me the lime basil, I don't really need it. I've got so many seeds I may not even be able to start them all this year. Every year I think I have enough containers and potting mix because surely I won't start as many things this year. After all, the garden beds are all packed to the gills already. Then I join a swap to get just a few things and.... well you know how it goes. You all just had too much good stuff!
Jan 26, 2017 5:51 PM CST
Garden.org Admin
|Same with me. I dibbed Lime Basil because it looked good to me, but I certainly don't want anyone to incur extra shipping just so I can have that. I already have plenty of other basils. @poisondartfrog if the seeds are already on the way, please just hold on to them for yourself or a future swap.
Jan 26, 2017 6:23 PM CST
|Received my package! Wow, I dibbed on a lot . This was my first seed swap and I had a great time, thanks Alana and everyone else!

|Got my seeds! I usually crow about them in public, but we have company tonight. I had to make myself sit and eat dinner.

Thanks to everyone who offered seeds - Looks like i've got MORE than enough for my gardens!

|I got my package late last night as well.
I sat down this morning with coffee and went through the package. I really have some great new to me plants to get started.
I ordered 3 more of those container growing set ups so that I can have room in the greenhouse to start the 1000s of plants I want to grow and don't yet know where they will be planted.
Thank you Alana and all who shared their seeds with me.

Although he never became a household name, Rakim is near-universally acknowledged as one of the greatest MCs -- perhaps the greatest -- of all time within the hip-hop community. It isn't necessarily the substance of what he says that's helped him win numerous polls among rap fans in the know; the majority of his lyrics concern his own skills and his Islamic faith. But in terms of how he says it, Rakim is virtually unparalleled. His flow is smooth and liquid, inflected with jazz ... Read more

Like the book. I now have a reading list for business management through the references in this book. I like the idea of being self taught. I'm sure that's what the very successful in any field are already doing in their chosen field. You can browse the concepts presented in this book in two to three page summaries and either decide which ones to read more about or just try to apply the concept as summarized.
The second chapter and its list of forms of value and each of their respective points is so obvious and simple that one has a tendency to forget them, but if one notes them, and reviews them, one would quickly discover all sorts of little ways to improve a business.
A brilliant book for anyone, both long time business owners and those just starting out.... it's not about going into detail on everything, it's focus is a crash course Personal MBA as the title suggests. You WILL learn something from this book, guaranteed! Plus find out about many other valuable resources and books to dig deeper on topics.
Bottom line, you should read this book before investing a lot more in "higher learning" that will leave you in debt and not necessarily further ahead when it comes to a career or business you love.

Saffy is officially a vampire thanks to some scientists who experimented on her...kind of. She's a default vampire, a vampire that can undo her/his spell of being a vampire. Beware though, because this spell can become permanent if you get bitten by true vampire. Will Saffy be able to do this? Can she undo the spell and be finally free...or will someone make her be a permanent vampire forever?

Horse breeding is natural, but not all horses are meant to be bred. In order for two to make three we need a stallion (male) and a mare (female) which mate. A mare can only be bred with when she is in season. If the covering (mating) is successful she will give birth to a foal (baby) ten months later.
If you are interested in breeding for what ever personal reason, the best place to begin is with a sound, healthy horse. Generally the stallion owner offers his horses services during the breeding season for a fee. If you want to make money breeding then you certainly need to own a stallion that has good bloodlines, good conformation and temperament.
Those three aspects are essential ingredients for breeding. A mare has a little more elbow room in her requirements. This is only because she is going to produce a single foal per year, whereas a stallion is bred to around 40 mares per season with live cover and a lot more when using artificial insemination.
The resulting foal is definitely a combination of mare and stallion qualities, the stallion does not have more influence in the gene pool. You do not need a top competing mare in order for you to breed for a foal. Any horse owner with a mare can choose to breed.

We develop cost effective design solutions that meet or exceed LEED®/ BOMA standards
LEED® certification has entered the mainstream, and if you are considering new interior space or a new "green" building it's well worth a detailed investigation. But LEED® isn't an end unto itself. There are lots of measures around the globe that rate corporate sustainability efforts, LEED® & BOMA included.
Having been involved in the design and execution of several sustainable office projects, it's understandable why there is a great deal of confusion surrounding LEED®, its cost, and application. Not all designers fully appreciate LEED®, the design alternatives or their cost. Consequently owners & tenants are left wondering which expensive technical addition is really required and what is not.
There is almost always a design solution that meets a strict budgets and LEED® standards. To learn more about cost effective design solutions that meet or exceed LEED®/ BOMA standards please contact us for a free consultation.
We help you assess your portfolio's GHG emissions and the risks and opportunities
It is entirely probable that North America will soon follow Europe's lead in implementing a Cap and Trade emissions system for greenhouse gas "GHG" emissions.
A well designed Cap and Trade system first sets national maximum limits on GHG emissions. Organizations covered by the system are issued emissions allowances annually. They are then permitted to determine how they reduce their annual GHG emissions, and may "trade" surplus emission allowances should they not use their allocation. As the emission allowances are reduced annually, the price per allowance continually increases. The potential impact on real estate values is significant.
Initially, office tenants will not be directly targeted by federal legislation, but through higher energy prices we are all going to become increasingly aware of energy's importance. The cheapest form of energy is the energy you conserve, particularly if energy efficiency results in your receipt of valuable carbon offsets.
Contact us and let ZeroCarbon Inc. help you assess your portfolio's GHG emissions and the risks and opportunities.

Economic Numbers in China Looking Atrocious
Tracking economic data out of China is extremely hard to compare to the rest of the world. After all, most of the world would be thrilled to have growth numbers of 5%, 6%, 7% and more. Not China. Several bits of fresh economic data are looking rather poor for a continued recovery in the world's second largest economy.
August industrial production came in with a gain of 6.9%, which sounds great by Western standards. The problem is that this industrial output reading growth has been in the 8% and 9% handles for all of 2014. It wasn't just the worst reading in a year, it was the worst reading in six years. TradingEconomics.com showed that the expected number was 8.8%, and the forecast was 8.16% for August.
Retail sales rose by 11.9% in August, down from 12.2% in July. TradingEconomics had a consensus estimate of 12.1% and a forecast of 12.08%. Only February and March had slower growth than this August report, and those were both at 0.8%. Imagine if U.S. retailers were complaining that 11.9% sales growth was weaker than expected.
Earlier this week the National Bureau of Statistics of China reported that the consumer price index (CPI) rose by 0.2% month-over-month and rose by 2.0% year-over-year. Annual data showed food prices rising 3.0% and non-food prices up 1.5%. On average from January to August, the overall consumer prices were up by 2.2 percent over the same period of the previous year.
Also this week we saw news that the Producer Price Index (PPI) was negative, implying that CPI could fall further ahead. The PPI for manufactured goods fell by 1.2% year-over-year, and the PPI was down by 0.2% from July. The purchasing price index for manufactured goods went down by 1.4% annually and went down 0.1% sequentially. On average from January to August, the PPI decreased 1.6 percent year-on-year, the purchasing price index for manufactured goods went down by 1.8 percent year-on-year.
China has been called the world's growth engine by international market pundits for years. it is also expected that China will surpass the United States in economic output in the coming years. One month is not enough to derail either of these trends, but they are coming at a time when growth outside of the United States is very fragile.

The Doctors: Man Defends Pharmacist In Attempted Robbery
Relationship therapist Chris Donahue joined The Doctors to talk about some hot headlines, as well as attorney Areva Martin and Dr Jorge Rodriguez. First, Dr Travis Stork asked viewers if they would risk their lives to help someone in need. The Doctors shared footage of a crime caught on tape that showed a man jumping on the counter at a pharmacy and telling the pharmacist he had a gun. Suddenly, the criminal was pulled off the counter by a trained fighter who attacked the man and wrestled him until he was knocked unconscious.
Dr Stork further explained that the theif was trying to get Oxycodone and the man who attacked him, David, is an MMA fighter. It turns out, the pharmacist was actually David's girlfriend. He also added that David was going to be on the show but he didn't come because he was worried about being prosecuted. Areva Martin explained that it's very possible someone simply trying to do what David did, could find themselves in the middle of a lawsuit for assault if the take things too far.
Dr Rodriguez added that you can't just take the law into your own hands, saying it's important to be incredibly careful. Would you step in even if it meant possibly later facing charges for it?
The Doctors: Mean Teacher Caught On Tape
The Doctors then moved on to explain that just because a school may be top ranked, that doesn't mean there aren't bad teachers working there. A video shows a teacher ripping into a young student, and Dr Stork explained that the school has stated it was an isolated incident and is not how they conduct things. However, the school is currently accused of discriminating against students with disabilities according to a legal complaint filed by some parents.
The Doctors: Teacher Under Fire Over Released Video
Chris Donahue spoke up saying that he believes if you're going to be an educator, you need to be able to regulate yourself. He also argued that he doesn't believe it was an isolated incident because most people either have good self-regulation and patience, or they don't. Areva, as the only mom on the panel, said it was her worst nightmare to think about her child being psychologically or emotionally abused at school, is terrifying. That sort of negativity only weakens a child's self-esteem.
Allegedly, the video was filmed by a teacher's assistant who was fed up with seeing it happen, although the teacher was one of the most applauded teachers at the school. She reportedly returned to work just a week and a half later. Dr Rodriguez played devil's advocate saying that, at the same time, teacher's can't be too lenient because discipline is what helps children learn, but he agreed that the specific case shown in the tape is wrong.
At a recent press conference, the principal of the Success Academy stated that she didn't condone the teacher's behavior, but believed that the video showed "a teacher at her absolute worst moment."
The Doctors: Wealth Therapist For Rich People Problems
Next, The Doctors explained that there is now a new specialty called a wealth therapist, which is a therapist who specializes in "rich people problems." Wealth therapist Clay Cockrell explained that he works with a variety of people, but about half of his clients are people that are a part of the 1%. He sees patients who net about $10 million to as much as $2-3 billion. He also explained that their primary problems come from motivation, because they have to find purpose in their life.
Dr Stork also explained that some people can become so wealthy that they begin dealing with social isolation. Clay agreed that's an issue for his clients, because they feel like they can't relate to their friends or former friends. He charges $450 an hour, but Dr Rodriguez joked that he was undercharging his clients.
