Stocks: Let the good times roll?

CNNMoney) -- Stocks surged last wk to their highest levels in years. The big news last week was Friday's report from the U.S. Labor Department, which showed a much larger-than-expected increase in hiring and a surprise drop in the unemployment rate.

Investors cheered the jobs data, which came on the heels of upbeat reports on auto sales, construction spending and manufacturing activity.

The Dow rose 1.6% last week, ending at its highest point since May 2008. The Nasdaq jumped 3.2% over the last five trading days, climbing to its highest level since December 2000, and the S& P 500 added 2.2%.

Next wk, investors will take in reports on consumer sentiment & d nation's trade balance, both coming on Fri. There are few key economic reports slated for the week ahead to sustain the rally.

Mkts hate uncertainties...

Between the Fri's strong run up of dow, dax, ftse, vs the not so good news that pop up over this wkend,

1) israel & iran threatening each other, dragging US (& possibly UK & France) into the conflict

2) greece stalled debt negotiations

looks like on monday it's better to take some profits off the long positions, just in case. TA is not totally accurate.

Thk. U did some own analysis with some good explaination on Dow, rather then just putting up Dow is up (ready to long), or rather Dow is down (ready for shorting)

DOW showed fantastic strength despite profit taking here and there, esp in the last 30 minutes trading hours. It was from 148 pts gain down to +135 points gain at 4.25a.m with profit taking pushing it down but it was then quickly steadily up again until it closed at +158 points at 5.00pm. Really fantastic! Shortists will sigh and Longists will surely enjoy the ride on Monday!

Maybe if you change the crystalball, it will show DOW do a bit of correction before moving up again. Hahaha. Some profit taking has come in late this hour

According to Lynas, the AELB will meet on January 30 to decide on whether to issue a pre-operating licence which will be followed by a full licence within two years if the plant meets safety requirements outlined in its application. Lynas is anticipating a windfall of RM8 billion a year from 2013 onwards.

Meantime, disposing of radioactive waste on an uninhabited island would be the most expensive option for Lynas Corp if the Australian miner’s plans to reprocess residue from its RM2.5 billion rare earth plant in Kuantan fails.

Japanese govt and electricity utilities insisted that it nuclear power technology is superior. However, Fukushima showed us that they were so wrong.

The fallout, nuclear reactors contaminated a vast land area, the air and the sea. I want the M'sian govt and its people to recognise that the Fukushima tragedy could happen to any country that embraces nuclear power.

Australian uranium was used in the Fukushima reactors that were destroyed in March. We Australians do not want to be responsible for similar disasters in Malaysia.

A 50-yr lifespan, a single nuclear reactor is responsible for 1500 tonnes of high-level nuclear waste and a staggering 35mil tonnes of low level radioactive tailings waste.

Representative of the Fukushima Network for Protecting Children from Radiation, Seiichi Nakate, said:

I would not want the Malaysian people to experience the tragedy that people in Fukushima are now facing. I came here only because I wanted to tell you this. In Fukushima, more than 100,000 families have been separated because of the nuclear accident. And even now, one million people still live in contaminated areas with deep sufferings and anxiety.

Thot of the day - The Malaysian govt should not bequeath this toxic legacy to future generations.

Japan is winding down it unclear power plant...Nuclear power station causing cancer -- An official study - German govt shows the risk of getting cancer is increasing for children growing up in the neighborhood of a nuclear power station.

This is in particular true for leukemia, a special case of cancer. The closer to the nuclear power station, the higher the risk of leukemia and cancer.

In Germany, child cancer patience are being recorded. For investigate into the cases of children's cancer between the years 1980 and 2003. There were 1592 children of age less than five years who got the disease and 4735 healthy children involved in the study.

The result showed - A significantly higher risk to get cancer if the children lived within a circle of less than 5 km around a nuclear power plant:

According to the normal statistical values, there should have been 48 cases of cancer and 17 cases of leukemia within the above mentioned circle of 5 km around the atomic power plants. Test others wise indicated, 77 cases of cancer (60% more than expected) and 37 cases of leukemia (117% more than expected).

A person directly involved in the study mentioned to Spiegel online, that there might be human at higher risk for leukemia even within a circle of 50 km around nuclear power plants.

Lynas: A colossal catastrophe waiting to happen, written by - concerned citizen, living in Kuantan for the past 60-odd years.

Who? beneficiaries of d RM8bn a yr income - state govt, Lynas Aus, federal govt, Lynas (M) Sdn Bhd?

“Atomic Board has limited jurisdiction” (press report).

Does it mean that in matters outside its jurisdiction, it can wash its hands and put the blame on other agencies like the Malaysian Nuclear Agency, the Dept of Environment and even the State Development Corp?.

I am sure those who built the plants in the Three Mile Island in USA (1979), Chernobyl (1986) and Fukushima (2011) had taken utmost precautions to prevent disasters and yet they happened. Thousands of people died in these disasters and thousands more are still suffering the after-effects of these disasters.

Do we want to have a similar situation in this country?

Meanwhile. M'sia planning to go nuclear and want PR campaign companies do conduct a mandate, for public mandate by year 2013. it aim to boost public support for nuclear energy public opinion to above 50% is given priority, that when M'sia govt will review the final site to built nuclear plant.

The M'sian insider.

teeth53 thot - On likely nuclear site. It's very likely sited mainly in a un-heavily populated area, again site like in Pahang oredi can effect a population of 700,000 folks from rare earth plant and another one in Perak.

KUANTAN, May 29 — A public health scientist today warned residents that the RM700 million rare earth refinery being built here would effectively make “lab rats” of the 700,000 population.

Citing reports on various nuclear incidents including 1986 Chernobyl disaster that crippled Soviet economy

The controversial rare earth plant being built by Australian miner Lynas Corp has raised fears of a repeat of the radiation pollution from a similar plant in Bukit Merah, Ipoh.

The Asian Rare Earth (ARE) plant in Perak has been linked to birth defects and at least eight cases of leukaemia in the past five years, seven of which were fatal.

Nearly 20 years after it was shuttered, the plant is still the subject of a RM300 million cleanup.

Putrajaya bowed to public pressure in Kuantan and last month put on ice the plant being built by Lynas Corp, pending a month-long review by international experts.

The meeting this evening between various anti-Lynas groups was to work out strategies before a series of meetings with the panel this week, which they see as their best chance to scupper Lynas’s plans.

It always two way or more in multiple way, many will loss, for the few to win.

In the art of stock deadly manipulation by the players for the players, be it for or against.

just an eg - STK that trades with huge VOL at higher prices can signal the start of distribution to unsuspecting players...

and there after prices will remain stag.
