Sathya Sai Baba Man Gerald Moreno and Fact-Changing
2009-08-19 01:44:00 I direct my readers to an article just posted by Robert Priddy, retired academic of the University of Oslo and former head of the Sathya Sai Organization in Norway. He writes: ... "the pro-Sai extremist Joe Moreno claims that ?anti-Sai activists? withheld the transcript of the second part of a phone conversation which David Bailey had with Thomas Wiehe of Sweden. This is entirely untrue. Both parts of the phone conversation were transcribed from the start. Surely one of the worst cases of Internet libel is that of the Gerald 'Joe' Moreno. It is known that he cooperates with those around Sathya Sai Baba, both prominent and rank-and-file individuals. That Sai devotees would support one who so constantly uses language of a kind that Sai Baba's own discourses abundantly inveigh against more than suggests a desperation by many of his devotees to see their guru defended at any cost.

Summer rally: Fact or fiction?
2009-08-06 14:00:00 "While the Summer Rally is one of the oldest, and most popular truisms on Wall Street, it is also one of the most erroneous," says Jim Stack, who looks at "fact vs. fiction" in summer rally forecasts. Adding credence to his forecast, the market historian, money manager and editor of InvesTech Market Analyst not only successfully forecast the recent bear market but also moved to a 97% invested position just after the March bottom."Although it can be said that the stock market often rallies sometime during the summer months, from a recent low, the same could be said for any month out of the year."And here’s the clincher… Such rallies during the early summer months of May, June and July have historically shown the smallest potential gains for all 12 months of the year! "We analyzed the average DJIA gain from each month’s low to a subsequent rally high over the next 3 months -- based on data that has been compiled from the past ...

Make a holy war, do not embezzle the spoils; do not break your pledge; and do not mutilate (the dead) bodies; do not kill the children. When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these, you also accept it and withold yourself from doing them any harm.
