I'll check that out too. Thanks.

Do we get the discount through RESX whose link is found on Deltanet?

Dow Repeats Great Depression Pattern: Charts
CNBC.com | July 05, 2010 | 05:31 AM EDT
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is repeating a pattern that appeared just before markets fell during the Great Depression, Daryl Guppy, CEO at Guppytraders.com, told CNBC Monday.

“Those who don’t remember history are doomed to repeat it…there was a head and shoulders pattern that developed before the Depression in 1929, then with the recovery in 1930 we had another head and shoulders pattern that preceded a fall in the market, and in the current Dow situation we see an exact repeat of that environment,” Guppy said.

The Dow retreated 457.33 points, or 4.5 percent last week, to close at 9,686 Friday. Guppy said a Dow fall below 9,800 confirmed the head and shoulders pattern.

The Shanghai Composite is seeing a very rapid collapse, falling below 2,500, which suggests the major fall in the Dow, he added.

In the European markets, Guppy says Frankfurt's Dax is witnessing a different pattern to London's FTSE.

Guppy uses the broad trading band as measurement- giving the Dax a downsize target of 1,500. The same head and shoulders pattern seen in the Dow can also being seen in the FTSE, he added.

What about the Bahamas? I did a lot of corporate flying throughout the Caribbean and everytime I passed over the Bahamas going in and out I'd look down and wonder why not just go there? It looks nicer than the whatever island I was headed too.

Although I've never been to St Barts, I took lots of folks to St Maarten and they'd get on a twin otter and go to St Barts. Heard it was the land of the 300' yacht and $12 beer. Seemed the place to go though. Fwiw Satch I took the owner/chairman of your Manchesta' United FC. Guess the guy owns the TPA Bucs. Don't know why he chartered us and doesn't own a G550 or something, nice guy and family. We sat on the ramp and got blasted by the wake of a KLM 744. Crazy close. We stayed on St Maarten for a week, i don't recommend it unless someone else is buying. Then it can be funner. Or go to St. Barts like everyone else.

Riu Palace or Riu Palace Macao in Punta Cana.
Book through perx.com
Five star place on sale right now for $67 per person per night.
Spectacular beach and pools and watersports, etc. Superb dining. Top shelf liquor.
Free sailing (wife and I sailed every day)
Lots of Europeans there. The beaches are "top optional". Lots of topless Eurobabes. (and one American, after a few Pina Coladas )

Only one downside. NOT much "night life" in Punta Cana. If you are looking to disco dance til 4 AM, Jamaica or Mexico are better. They do have a casino though. I played a lot of hold 'em while we were there.

I agree, I just thought I'd throw out there although I was hesitant to do so because it relied on the oppinion of someone called Guppy Traders? It'd been more professional sounding then it'd raise both eye brows.

Nobody wants the scope to remain trending as it has. Everybody on the south side wants to regain lost pay and benefits yet regain some scope. The northies want to regain scope. Should be interesting.
Buzz, as a northie, I see this particular situation as the final answer on scope issues for the future. Yes, I want scope. But if this issue which is in the contract in black and white is not enforced or leveraged to the full extent possible to get the most for the pilot group, then all scope is not worth the paper it is written on and I would be for NOT negotiating any scope in the future at a cost to the pilot group. If they get away with this, then Catie bar the door. This is a test gentlemen and the company is watching. I am watching the union!!!!!!! They better have their Ps & Qs together.

Check, $67/person was for the expensive side of Riu or the middle grade part? I did the middle for a week. The buffet was good, the water was great, the kayaking around that half sunken ship was a blast, the employees and beach sales guys were good, but I could've done without the plethora of old near naked men, topless european AARP women, and naked kids.
