Political rants

2010-01-25T20:24:53Z

This is for exiled posts unsuited to their topics

Whatever happened or was posted was literally years ago, so get the f over it ok?

Time to move on.. enough with this petty political bickering. Got a political rant? Post it here and get it off your chest. This topic is NO HOLDS BARRED so say whatever you want. Political correctness does not exist in this topic, so nobody get offended at what anyone says, but try to keep it at least rational, reasonable, and above all, logical. I don’t care if you think white people are trash, black presidents are stupid, republicans hate gays or democrats want to rape your kids’ trust fund to pay for medicare. Just get it off your chest ok? Knock yourselves out, just keep it out of the other topics!

Elliott Wave Analysis

2010-02-01T10:07:48Z

Max pain thesis: So long AAPL closes above max pain on OE Friday, AAPL is in a multi-month rally. It usually closes near highest OI (calls) when in multi-month rally and near highest OI (puts) when in multi-month decline.

Max pain (Feb)=$200, max pain (Mar) = $200, max pain (Apr)=$195, max pain (Jul)=$200 down $10.00.

Highest OI (Feb calls)=$210 and OI (Feb puts)=$185.
Highest OI (Mar calls)=$210 and OI (Mar puts)=$195.
Highest OI (Apr calls)=$210 and OI (Apr puts)=$200.
Highest OI (Jul calls)=$250 and OI (Jul puts)=$200.

Comment: $200 is the price point for bears and bulls to fight over.

Bearish signals:
Weekly: MACD below signal line. RSI is bearishly divergence with price. Price broke below 13-week EMA.
Daily: MACD below signal and zero line. RSI below 50 and trending down. ADI trending up with -RI above +RI. Lower high lower low since mid Jan. Ichimoku issues a sell signal while price is below cloud.

Comment: Strong support at 52-week EMA, currently $169. Weak support at $182. If all can’t hold, I see $130.

Edit:
EW - Ted’s long term EW for AAPL. See chart.

OT: political compass test

2010-03-05T01:38:05Z

I found something that is fun: A political compass test.

I’m a bit on the authoritarian side but I can explain it: I’m lawful.
My political compass results are:

Economic Left/Right: 0.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.03

Take the test and post your results.

iphoto vidoes imovie

2010-03-19T08:43:20Z

I am trying to import some iphoto videos into imovie but I cant find them through imovie.

the videos are in my iphoto library, for I can see them mixed with my photos when I look at my events in iphoto.

However, in imovie I can only see the photos in my iphoto events folders not the videos.

I remember installing iphotos on the second of the internal hard drives in this mac pro, and so freeing up some space on the boot drive. Could that explain it?

But where are those video files that show up in events in iphoto and how can I get imovie to access them?

thanks

iPhone problem - excessive screen zoom

2009-10-27T21:03:06Z

I have a problem with my 3GS iPhone - the screen has zoomed in to where I see less than a quarter of the normal screen. It is not responsive to finger movements to unzoom - it does wiggle a little, but does not change. It will slightly unzoom, but then it ‘snaps’ back. I have turned it off and re-started, restored original settings and used an older save to reload. The problem remains.

I have had this problem before, but the phone became responsive in one instance and I was able to restore once. This is the third occurance in 2 months.

I am unable to use the keyboard to unlock the phone.

Any suggestions? I am thinking I may need to go to my Apple store tomorrow and see if they can help.

Edit: I loaded a very old save. That fixed the zoom problem.
