Joe thinks the Industrials are headed to 4000.  Look at this stock chart and see if it looks similar to our current market:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.online-stock-trading-guide.com/1929-1930-stock-charts.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.online-stock-trading-guide.com/image-files/1929-1930-stock-chart.png" width="450" border="0" title="Online Stock Trading Guide" alt="Online Stock Trading Guide" /></a></p>
<p>
<a href="http://www.sheridanmentoring.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/DOW2009.png"><img src="http://www.sheridanmentoring.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/DOW2009.png" width="450" border="0" alt="2008-2009-stock-chart"></a>
</p>
<p>Looking at those two charts, if history does repeat itself, we&#8217;re likely in for a DOW of 4000-5000 as Joe predicts.</p>
<p>We also discussed M3 and a really nice website that has lots of great economic data:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nowandfutures.com/key_stats.html" style="font-size:1.1em;">http://www.nowandfutures.com/</a></p>
<p>Scroll near the bottom and you&#8217;ll see a chart titled &#8220;Global Liquidity and Gold&#8221;.  Here it is:<br />
<a href="http://www.sheridanmentoring.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/global_liquidity_gdp_cofer.png"><img src="http://www.sheridanmentoring.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/global_liquidity_gdp_cofer.png" border="0" alt="Gobal Liquidity and Gold" width="450" /></a></p>
<p>Looks like Global Liquidity is in trouble.  The banks have the money but it&#8217;s not being lent or in the hands of the people.  Joe figures Gold will reach the 300&#8242;s eventually.  When Gold rallies, he buys some DZZ (Pro-shares double short Gold).</p>
<p><A style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px auto; PADDING-LEFT: 6px; PADDING-RIGHT: 6px; DISPLAY: block; PADDING-TOP: 0px; cssFloat: " id=aptureLink_TR5r8EMTlB href="http://www.ringspezialist.com/shop_image/gold.jpg"><IMG style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" title="gold jpg" src="http://www.ringspezialist.com/shop_image/gold.jpg" width=125 height=125 aptureProxy="30"></A></p>
<p>It&#8217;s always interesting to talk to Joe.  He&#8217;s been trading for more years than most of us have been alive.  I always value your thoughts Joe!</p>
