Skolnick's a nutjob much of the time. but this one left me with an ominous feeling when i looked it over a few days ago. Middle Finger News Clashes & Crashes Sticking It To The Poobahs News Hot Enough To Fry Eggs By Sherman H. Skolnick and Lenny Bloom SkolnicksReport.com CloakandDagger.ca 10-18-3 Some people use calendars as mental dartboards. Evidently, Sherman is one of them. In 1987, six months ahead of time, he pointed to Monday, October 19. He had certain friends and relatives with their rear ends parked in Wall Street. So, he told them it was time to get the Hell out. Their responses were insulting. "Look, you are one of those not college-educated assholes. What do you know about business and finance? You have an MBA or something?" His retort availed him nothing. "I head a group that for years and years studies the entanglements of Judges and Banks. We call them Banker-Judges. And note, please, we have caused quite a number of them to be sent to prison for bribery." And they further hurled their verbal bricks. "So what. You are not a known pundit." On the afternoon of October 19, Sherman was eating a late lunch with a friend, while both were watching tv. "Hey, look at that. Dow-Jones is down 500. " His friend suggested, "Let's drive down to La Salle Street. Maybe we'll witness them jumping from the windows," said the friend. Sherman shot that down, "Look, following 1929, the major suicides were years and years later, when people ran out of money. Two things now. One, in the new buildings, the windows don't open and the roof access is locked. Second, if one of the losers jumps, it may damage the roof of the car, and our auto insurance would not cover the roof damage." The Saturday after the 1987 Crash, was a family wedding. He stopped several of them, "Well, did you get your ass out of Wall Street like I suggested?" Some just glared at him, picked up their plate of wedding supper, and moved faraway from him and his wheelchair. But, one started shrieking, "If know-nothings like you would just shut their rotten mouth, we would continue having prosperity." Thus written off, Sherman answered, "So, if I left the planet, the good times will roll, right?" After 1987, some just stopped talking to Sherman, the Calendar Man. In 2003, for months and months, Sherman again pointed to the calendar, and told a few friends and acquaintances. "You see this, these dates in October. This is when the Crash may begin." And the responses, as in 1987, were a put down. "Look my broker is sharp. He says now is the time to buy. He says those uneducated in business and finance, like you, are just plain stupid. " Thus zeroed out, Sherman replied, "Fine. Buy yourself silly. Hey, don't call me collect from the crooked Bankruptcy Court." http://www.skolnicksreport.com/>www.skolnicksreport.com "Sucker Traps" and "The Bankruptcy Bordello".> Why do market crashes tend to happen, or at least start, in October? Satanist numerology? Voodoo hexes? The Aristocracy and their "October" hang-up? Blind coincidence? Historical footnote: Chicago gangster Al Capone became a local hero after the 1929 Crash. He and a team of his gunmen descended on La Salle Street, site of numerous stockbrokers. Armed with submachine guns, Capone's mob pushed their way into brokerage offices. Gruff, he and his pals barked, "Hey, you, here is a list of people waiting outside here. Give these people their money back. Or, we'll make cheese out of you and blow up your joint." At least that was the story that grew up with the Windy City. As a young man, Sherman lived near the Chicago Mafia enclave of Cicero. Sherman's family bought milk, a gallon at a time, from a brick building dairy, right past the Chicago boundary into Cicero. The milk people were asked, "How come this building has so many holes in the walls?" The answer, matter-of-a-factly, "This was Capone's headquarters. There was a shoot-out with beer-runners in the corrupt police." Is a crash soon underway? Stay tuned. =================== |
