Participantstockstradr: She was privy to Top Secret company data as an intern? Really?
I was an engineering intern myself at Motorola (back in 1993 when it was actually a successful company)
I was amazed at the confidential information I had access to. As for the power line data, I believed that friend of mine when she told that story; she was a straight-up honest chick, also a 4.0 GPA student.

ParticipantOK, on this thread, I will use my ration of one-piggington-comment-per-month.
A true story:
An engineering school classmate of mine interned at a large power distribution company. Her internship involved safety issues of high-power lines, so she had top secret access to the locked vault of in-house studies this power company had conducted on health effects of high power lines on various farm animals and humans living under the lines
She said that data was the scariest thing she’s ever seen. These are the details I can recall she told from seeing the data first hand:
1) The dangerous lines are the Extra High Voltage and Ultra High Voltage: essentially anything 230kV and above. The data showed the health risk to life forms near the lines due to RF energy went up with the voltage. This link merely explains the different voltage levels.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_powerline
2) She explained that developing fetuses in farm animals living under the 230kv and higher lines showed particularly bad health effects. Weird stuff: aborted fetuses, birth defects…etc. Also farmers saw weird effects on milk production, stuff like that.She suggested that some data on humans living under the wires was very bad, but was kept secret, conspiracy stuff. She saw the data firsthand. She didn’t want to talk about the details of that data.
CONCLUSION: don’t buy a home under any high power lines, in particular stay blocks or miles away from 230kV and above lines.

ParticipantHi stockstrader, nice post. It seems I’ve found another disciple of denninger. I’ve also been trying to figure when the right time to short treasuries will present itself.
JWM, you may want to peek at this, some of the best analysis I’ve seen yet on US Treasury bubble:
http://economicedge.blogspot.com/
HOWEVER, I do not agree with his conclusion (analysis of 01/12/09) that the bubble has probably popped, and his recent trading decision (“I am re-entering and got short TLT some more today.”)
Look at the 10-year and 30-year yield today. I’m glad I’m not short treasuries (this early)
However, what about let TLT run higher, then buy to open the puts expiring say JAN2010, giving myself some breathing room for the crash to occur. Then keep buying more puts if TLT bubble keeps expanding. I’ve been looking closely at that trade.
As for Denninger, I read his blogs with care and caution. Seems maybe 70% to 90% of his stuff is fringe lunatic stuff that also happens to be TRUE and brilliant; meanwhile 10% to 30% of his blogs are merely fringe lunatic stuff that’s ludicrous rantings of a nut.
Like Denninger’s rants..
http://market-ticker.denninger.net/archives/725-On-Hyperinflation.html
…about how it is “impossible” for the Fed to reflate (inflate). That’s Denninger just being a fringe lunatic who clearly lacks the economic and financial training and experience that a seasoned pro like Rich T. has. Rich is correct and brilliant again in his latest article that explains many things including that the Fed has both the ability and intent to inflate. Rich’s articles on investing and economics are better that 95% of the articles I read in the Wall Street Journal and FT.

ParticipantI stand by my opinion that their are no more than three or so members of this forum regularly (or even infrequently) posting valuable opinions on economics and investing, in addition to Rich. peterb is good. Chris Scoreboard is good. A few others as well.
However, I should explain that statement. I’m an unusual person who spends at least 40+ hours per week mining multiple media for analysis and ideas on investing. i get five daily newspapers for example.
So my standard of expert and valuable trading insights is not met by the typical piggington member who posts something like “I just dollar cost average the same amount each month into a stock index, no matter what the market does”
And I certainly made more in the stock market last year than my six-figure day job pays. So I’ll think about what you wrote (for about a microsecond) on the way to my bank.
