San Francisco declared among nation's 20 dirtiest cities

San Francisco was the first city in the nation to ban plastic bags.

The city scored the dubious honor of being listed as the 12th dirtiest city in the nation in Travel + Leisure's annual America's Favorite Cities survey, despite placing San Francisco in the top 10 for environmental friendliness and quality of life. San Francisco also ranked high in diversity, coffee, ethnic food, noteworthy neighborhoods and views.
 
Another crazy day on the market. the market gapped as I noted on Thursday. But Friday was a very critical day on how IWM and SMH would react. SMH is the semiconductor sectors and they make a big bulk of the trading for the SPX market just as XLF is also a big bulk of the market.

SMH did not look good, but IWM which is the investors held up and they showed that they are having some kind of optimism. IBM also held because IBM is held by all fund managers and you can also use it as an indices. The banks held and if you look at individual banks stocks you can see that last week(s) some have been getting significant amount of volume. That is telling. IWM could help SMH to get a pop up.

We are anticipating a gap up on Monday, not sure because of any good news or other reasons, but as of yet, the market is very sensitive to any news. The SPX is still very volitile and it can break to the downside and yes it is driving many nuts. But technical indicators are telling something else.

Friday was also quadruple witching leading to additional volatility.

About That Gigantic Fall In Junk Bond ETFs...

About that proxy for real junk ... a way to arbitrage or to hedge the real position. If you buy the idea that credit markets are somehow "smarter" than other markets, and you believe that real money credit holders are rushing for the doors with these ETF shorts, watch out.

The Great Growth Disappointment

http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/15/the-great-g-d-p-disappointment/

You may recall that the same phenomenon occurred last quarter, when, for instance, Macroeconomic Advisers gradually slid its estimate down from 4.1 percent to 1.5 percent. The Commerce Department eventually reported that the economy grew at an annual rate of 1.8 percent last quarter.

Macroeconomic Advisers lowered its annualized second quarter G.D.P. forecast to 1.9 percent.
 
Research Center Under Fire for 'Adjusted' Sea-Level Data

The University of Colorado’s Sea Level Research Group decided in May to add 0.3 millimeters -- or about the thickness of a fingernail -- every year to its actual measurements of sea levels, sparking criticism from experts who called it an attempt to exaggerate the effects of global warming.
 
20 feet of sea level rise,...not going to happen. ..., [Al Gore] wouldn’t have bought his multi-million dollar mansion along the coast in California."

:rof: The issue really relates to how do you hit a moving target? Oceans rise and fall with the tides and the tides vary with the relationship of Moon, Sun, and Earth...other disturbances.... and tectonic movement. Shifting restless continents are hard to measure. In New Zealand is a mark on a rock which is exactly at mean sea level and was marked by Capt. James Cook in the 18th century. NOLA was underwater 2,000 years ago. The city of Troy was a seaport when the Greeks attacked it in the famous Trojan War...It's inland now. Cities on the Mediterranian are found offshore largely due to earthquakes 1000 BC. It means nothing with respect to global warming.. The climate shift was 20,000 plus years ago when we came out of the ice ages (the last of a great many such Ice Ages). The Ozarks were bare tundra 20,000 y. ago. NY was under Ice.
