In the early ‘60’s I was riding the rails in Western Canada, but the new version whereby one could enter an engine unit cab and sit out the ride in relative comfort. Units were much less powerful in those days and many units were required to provide sufficient power to cross the Rockies.

I hoped a unit on Canadian Pacific Railroad (CPR) in Revelstoke (a Division point where crews were exchanged) one evening, bound for Vancouver. I seldom rode the CPR units, preferring the more tender mercies of Canadian National crews.

I didn’t know that section of the CPR line passed through the Connaught Tunnel, some 5 miles long. Once we entered the tunnel I soon encountered difficulty breathing since I was in the last of seven units and the exhaust of units in front of me was entering the cab. I soon lost consciousness.

Some time later I regained consciousness while the train negotiated a bridge crossing the nearby Kicking Horse River. The only observable effect was a spitting headache but I’ve always wondered if I sustained some brain damage from oxygen deprivation. 🙂

With Biden in power the US will likely be importing thousands of them … to add to all their brothers crossing the southern border … and we got the FBI looking for MAGA extremists. What could go wrong!

You could buy one of those houses if the prices dropped before Blackrocks of the world and rent it out yourself unless expected to drop lower.

So none of these countries want them and  can’t make it to Europe or the US who will take any rejects but some will help the HAMAs in a proxy war killing two birds with one stone while the neocons trying to drag us in too. At least the women and children are refugees and could be temporary.
I can only wonder if  they’re using our ship The Gerald Ford like a sitting duck to get attacked by someone to make them victims next. So there I called it incase something happens. Just waving it around on the news hey ship over here. It’s all alone.  Here’s  the coordinates. Anybody watching it by land air or sea with anti missile capability?

Then I see Netanyahu on TV asking this young soldier if he’s ready to die? All the while knew about the attack. Too bad he couldn’t say no I’m here to arrest you for treason,

Re Why no Pally refugees taken in…..they know what they would be letting in…….The Jordanians threw ’em out back in the 50 ‘s I think, because they got so pissed off with their constant trouble making, lazziness, dishonesty etc……they basically have no redeeming features….u remember what a God awful PoS Arafart was…..well he may have been one of the worst…but the rest aren’t far behind.

I know some people got rich during the crash because they had enough cash or assets to buy up assets on the cheap. At least as far as housing they didn’t try to corner the market that contributes to the shortages along with wealthy foreigners like the Chinese which neither is brought up on the matter while they play dumb. I suppose in those days the pitchforks would of come out.
Either the Rothschild’s or Rockefeller’s got a cushy deal with a railroad to transport oil for much less , giving him the advantage over others. Also people with cash reserves went short if they could get a hold of their swamped brokers which I believe caused the rule you can’t short when it’s selling on a down tick only a up tic.
Now we have aglos and hedge funds competing and unfairly manipulating the market along with criminal manipulation like putting higher asks in then deleting them before it gets bought. I was aware of that one in options.  I wonder if others will start setting aglos beating them at their own game like someone did to Ican who made a bet on malls. Then of course the criminals like the hedge funds did when they were getting squeezed out buy a bunch of kids some who never traded before even teens which was hilarious can call the brokers and have them manipulate the stock by freezing the buying to only selling when they were shorting forcefully manipulating the market to do what they want and the SEC never did anything about it.                                              I guess for now keep laddered stops even if you think somethings bottomed cuz you can always buy it back.   I figured and posted a downturn could start around mid Oct to Nov but now we have another war factor to consider on what and when to buy snd sell.

There are many wealthy Arab Muslim countries around Gaza. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq … why won't they take any Palestinian refugees?

And at the same time, they are all suggesting the Europe and the USA accept Gaza refugees? https://t.co/qpT8Jqvq8l

Yes, a lot of folks will get crushed if we have that kind of crash. I suppose it all depends on what the Globalists have planned. I don’t think 1929 was an accident. Many made millions back then like JP Morgan, Joseph Kennedy (a mistake), Rockefellers, all the Fed Reserve bank owners. They knew in advance that the money would come out of the markets because they pulled it. If they start to dump mega cap tech, it will be epic. All this stuff has repeated for centuries in one form or another. It will be intentional.

The Globalists want war and chaos. In the end, I suppose the intent is to keep the world under their total control. Maybe it’s just the culling of the herd, maybe this is biblical and they are pushing for the final battle. Whatever the larger plan, they are in a hurry now.

Our housing mkt is in serious trouble….talking to a mate who knows an area of the North near Manchester v well…he says this particular area, is dead man shoes…normally no houses come on the mkt, as they all get sold well before hitting normal agents…he was there recently and saw 5 houses advertised by boards outside….that is unheard of in that area.

Those charts in all equity sectors went back to the eclipse in 1929. My sometimes my altered sense of humor that’s not really humor says I hope we don’t get that one.

This time we’re really gonna have to think about where you put your money and keep reserves. Also if all out war supply chain issues to get what you need regularly like OTC. Who knows if they don’t pull some illness while their at it.
I fear it might initially pull gold down even if manipulated so keep stops at hand.
We don’t know if it will play out to that degree or be a slow decent in sectors but would likely draw gold up long term like it did when Obama and Bush, energy, defense but for some reason hasn’t affected Boeing but has others right now initially. Initially the dollar in a sudden crash will likely rise but might be a temp high and possibility of a Fed pivot which would be suicide with likely inflation it will cause  with increasing debt this scenario will bring to us. You see the news non stop Iran Iran Iran.

I’m still worried about those hostages more so than they do apparently and try to figure out how to get them out with something that will bring pressure with fellow Palestines  on Hamas instead of these so call warriors hiding behind them as shields. Now heard the mobs got some of them and another terrorist group.They out there face out there in the camera so will be targets.
maybe like trading food and some medical supplies to the citizens and it provisions for them to camp out away from the battles, i see mothers with frightened desolate children  out there stuck because Egypt won’t have them either. Don’t see Iran or others behind them helping them.

I’ve noticed a lot of names have been beaten up pretty good. I don’t watch many names other than pm’s but a couple I do are down 50 and 75%. Seems that the mega caps are sort of holding up the indexes as the author mentions. Stocks like NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, etc. have held up really well, even though off their highs.

Makes sense that a crash in those stocks could occur and really rock the indexes. I’d think it would take the beat up names down even worse than they are. 50% crash is a lot of damage. The Nasdaq was weak on Friday.

Hopefully pm’s will stand strong in that event and garner some of the money coming out of the big names.

Been watching Bitcoin over the weekend. It’s stayed flat. Doesn’t appear that is a “flight to safety” asset at the moment, which we’ve seen in the past. It has been flat this weekend. I guess that may mean the flight will be into oil, pm’s and the dollar. That would be my hope anyway, and the long, long correction in pm shares is over.

These are really unprecedented times.

While looking up Steve Puetz a  Hawaiian  and the yes sayers vs nay sayers the editor of the previous post I ran into this. As far as  superstition or coincidence I do know it doesn’t matter how well a stock or in this time many stocks are doing, it only matters what the market perceives it’s doing or going and right now it isn’t looking too bullish on the general market anyways.

Jamie Dimon warns the Israel-Hamas conflict may upend the economy: ‘This may be the most dangerous time the world has seen in decades’

Well I called this right if it plays out  to watch out starting middle of the month but just by seeing patterns but they looked way back.
A friend sent me this the other day but was too busy to read it so found time just now not knowing there were charts I could read fast. I don’t know where she got this since she doesn’t read charts or involved in the market.
I can’t post the charts on a pin  just so you have to read it. If you don’t want to read it fast forward to the end.

Market action over the past three weeks continues to provide evidence of an imminent market crash. Yet, the exact form of the crash remains complex with multiple scenarios still viable. Equity indices such as the S&P 500 (top of page 2) and NASDAQ have generally weakened over the past 12 weeks. For most investors and analysts, the modest decline in the major averages since early August seems unalarming. Yet, numerous secondary indices, along with many technical indicators, reveal ongoing deterioration far more concerning than that shown by the major market indices. Unlike the S&P 500, the Russell 2000 Index (middle of page 2) barely rallied during the past two weeks, while the Russell Microcap Index (bottom of page 2) fell to a 3-year low today. Likewise, the Composite Advance-Decline Line (top of page 3) closed near a 4-year low today.
From a technical perspective, the NASDAQ 20-day Arms Index (middle of page 3) has moved from a neutral position a month ago, to overbought territory this past week. Similarly, the NASDAQ 25-day Gaussian Kernel RSI (bottom of page 3) has moved from moderately oversold 2 weeks ago, to high-neutral today. The ratio of the Equal-weight S&P 500 relative to the published S&P 500 (top of page 4) illustrates the massive deterioration in mid-cap stocks relative to large-cap stocks. The ratio is rapidly approaching a 14-year low, with the prevailing signal exactly opposite to that of late-2008 to early-2009 – when the ratio bottomed in November 2008, which was well ahead of the large-cap low recorded during March 2009. The composite oscillators also remain bearish. Since its early August sell signal, Composite Oscillator 1 (upper-middle of page 4) has declined but resides midway between overbought and oversold levels, as of today’s close. Composite Oscillator 2 (lower-middle of page 4) did descend to oversold territory two weeks ago, but this technical condition likely equates to the minor oversold level of January 2022 – which coincided with the “start” of a 9-month decline, rather than being a terminal signal. The conclusive signal might be the Consecutive Up-Down Day index minus Composite Oscillator 1 (bottom of page 4), which is now just beginning to decline from a major sell signal (similar to late-2021 and early-2002).
From a fundamental perspective, it remains unclear the degree to which numerous geopolitical, economic, and financial factors will affect stock prices. Some of the major factors include escalating geopolitical crises related to the Ukrainian-Russian and Israeli-Hamas wars, domestic political dysfunction related to the inability of Republicans to select a new Speaker of the House, intensifying economic malaise related to rising consumer prices and resumed student loan payments collectively squeezing spendable income, and rising interest rates constraining loan activity. In general, investors have treated these negative factors as irrelevant, or alternatively, they simply ignore or are unaware of these concerning factors. However, as technical conditions continue to deteriorate, sentiment related to these overlooked negatives could easily snowball into an uncontrollable crash.
Based on the seasonal and eclipse cycles (page 5), the next 2 to 5 weeks are especially critical for stocks. If one only considers the seasonal cycle, the 1929 and 1987 crashes occurred during the last 3 weeks of October. In other words, stocks are entering prime time for a crash. However, based on the eclipse cycle, the current turning points are out-of-phase by 2 weeks. The current “secondary top” coincides with a solar eclipse (October 14) rather than a lunar eclipse (October 28), as happens in most crashes. In conclusion, the evidence suggests that the weak rally in technology stocks is terminating, and the decline in the broader market will soon bring all stocks crashing down to Earth (to normal valuations) – which means stocks are likely to collapse 50% or more in coming weeks.

The Moffat tunnel under the continental divide is 6.2 miles long.  When diesel locomotives run thru, you can imagine how thick the smoke gets inside.  There is no tunnel door at the west portal, at Winter Park.  The tunnel door is only at the east portal as shown in the pix.  What you never see are the massive turbine air blowers on either side of the east tunnel… behind the portal and door.  When the door closes, these turbines suck massive quantities of air thru the tunnel from the west end and exhaust it sideways behind the east portal.  The door closes the east portal to keep intake-air from leaking in that side.

This tunnel is the major rail crossing route across the divide, and handles a lot of rail traffic.  With the ventilation system working, they can clear the tunnel air in a short time to allow the next train through without suffocating the crew.
