Cashin On Supermoons, 9/11, And The Israeli Call-Up
There are only a few market prognosticators who can look to the stars for sage advice and not come away being giggled at. Art Cashin, UBS venerable trader-in-chief, notes that this weekend will see the biggest full moon of the year from the perspective of the Earth. This so-called 'Supermoon' will exert 42% more tidal force than normal and given the human body is 70% water, one can only imagine the bipolar impacts that this extra-terrestrial 'pressure' will create on the tiny minds of traders. What is more spooky is the fact that there is an unusual astrological configuration, not seen since 9/11, also occurring this weekend and rather worryingly The Times of Israel is noting the call-up of Emergency Israeli Troops in response to the worsening situation in the Sinai. So our minds will be wondering from an out-of-world experience and at the same time developments in the already unstable Middle East crank up one more notch on the Spinal Tap amplifier of sabre-rattling.
Of Telescopes And Worry Beads - A friend sent along the following note:
Biggest Full Moon of the year due this weekend The moon is set to get a lot bigger this weekend - at least from our perspective on Earth.
And the 'Supermoon' - the nickname for a perigee full moon, closer to the Earth than usual - could cause tides to rise around the world as the moon's close 'fly past' exerts 42% more tidal force.
The moon will appear bigger and brighter - sky-watchers promise this 'supermoon' will be 16% brighter than most when it begins on Saturday at 3.35pm GMT, 11.35am EDT.
A few other folks took note of the new Israeli call-up (see below) and thought it might hint military action over the weekend but a bright full moon is not usually conducive to stealth action. Best to wait for the darkness of a new moon.
On a somewhat related note, a few friends who dabble in mundane astrology claim that this weekend will see an unusual configuration that they claim was last seen when 9/11 took place. We may call Arch Crawford to check on that.
Israel Calls Up “Emergency” Troops - Here are details from the Times of Israel:
The IDF has issued emergency call up orders to six reserve battalions in light of new dangers on the Egyptian and Syrian borders. And the Knesset has given the IDF permission to summon a further 16 reserve battalions if necessary, Israeli media reported on Wednesday.
An IDF spokesperson said intelligence assessments called for the deployment of more soldiers. An army statement highlighted last August’s infiltration from the Sinai north of Eilat in which eight Israelis were killed, and said the subsequent division of that area into two distinct military zones necessitated additional manpower.
The primary motive is the worsening situation in the Sinai:
“This signifies that the IDF regards the Egyptian and Syrian borders as the potential source of a greater threat than in the past,” the former deputy chief of staff, Dan Harel, said on Wednesday night.
“The army needs a better ‘answer’ than in the past to the threat,” he said, citing Egypt’s deteriorating control over the Sinai, marked by an upsurge in Bedouin smuggling of weapons and other goods. He also spoke of the growing threat of terrorism from Sinai, as exemplified by last August’s infiltration.
The Syrian situation was also highly combustible, Harel said, “and it could explode at any moment… and pose a direct challenge to us.”
Actually, the Bedouins have asked the Egyptian government to send troops into the Sinai to control the growing lawlessness in the area. Ironically, the Egyptians are forbidden to do so by the tenets of their peace treaty with Israel.
At any rate, it’s not a healthy development for a not so stable Mid-East.

I assure you Tyler. Cashin is NOT 70% water...
Gin is liquid...that counts.
Just in case you were thinking it: (You know you were). How great would the moon's gravitational force be on the gold that you are buying and selling? Well, the moon's mass is about 1/100th of the earth's mass. And the distance from the gold being weighted to the moon is about 60 times the distance to the earth's center (240,000 miles vs. 4,000)
Since the force of gravity is proportional to the body's mass, and inversely proportional to the SQUARE of the body's distance from the object, the moon's gravity would generate (1/100) / (60^2) times as much force as earth's gravity on the gold. Thus it is approximately 1/360,000th as strong as earth's gravity.
If you bought $360,000 worth of gold, waited till the moon moved to where it would have the most favorable effect, and then sold the gold, you should gain about 1/360,000th of the amount bought and sold.
...which is one way to make a buck.
If you buy the gold when the moon is exactly overhead, and then sell it when the moon is exactly straight under you, the effect should be doubled, if my calculations are correct.
Man, that's like making 2 bucks
That would make me feel like a bankster (earning while doing nothing)!
;-)
If you can find someone who doesn't use tare weights, centripetal acceleration and a slightly non-spherical Earth combine to give you 0.5% skim by buying at the equator and selling at the poles. And yet gold flows from London to Hong Kong...
You could get 1/3 skim by doing the same thing on Saturn.
Or you could just fold some fiat in half and double your money just like the Fed!
"What is more spooky is the fact that there is an unusual astrological configuration, not seen since 9/11, also occurring this weekend"
Can someone please enlighten me as to what this unusual astrological configuration is because the author only mentions it without giving any details and last time I looked, ZH wasn't www.astrology.com.
Tia
Patrick Geryl has the details on this Tia. Here's his website. Good luck!

Many thanks.
I could spend hours on the part of the website that has the solar system animation and see where all the planets were on a particular day in history, like your kids' birthdays.
Cheers

Brain Bug or Bwarney Fwank's Jewish Super Moon?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
At least it is shaved.
Shaved? I am not even sure of what IT is.
<confused>
Chaffing is NOT shaving

I saw that guy in the local WalMart parking lot
Pants on the ground, perchance?
Uhh...could someone please tell me what the fuck I'm looking at?
looks like your wife hedgeless, tho the sex is a bit indecipherable. now it all makes sense.
always interesting to see what the followers of Christ find amusing among His creations. . .
Who's judging? You?
Everyone else is just in awe of what seems to be the largest ass in the world.
I beg to differ. I'm in awe of the fact that Tyler Durden lowers the quality of the best financial blog in the world by letting hedgeless_horseman post images on it.
In my opinion, and I believe others too, think that this narcissistic, irrelevant picture posting, Christian hijacker, tasteless, moronic idiot individual does not justify his "privileges".
In the hope that my post is noticed by He Who is All Powerful, I'm tagging it a bit....

edit: I wish I wasn't so polite.
Isreali? I guess that's better than Isfakei.
Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week...
I wish the article hadn't chosen to be coy about the 9/11-like astrological similarity. WTF is the similarity? Is Jupiter aligned with Mars? Is the moon in the 7th house? What is it? :-(
Maybe Israel will invade the moon also. It wouldn't surprise me. They seem willing to invade or go to war with everyone else on earth...why limit themselves right?
The moon threatens Israel's right to exist. To deny that is to deny the holocaust--The holocaust that happened to the Israelies, not the all the other ones that happend throughout history to other people. We deny the other ones were remotely as bad. That is okay to do because the TV allows it.
Obviously the moon is anti-semitic and must be dealt with swiftly before it becomes an existential threat to Israel's right to exist.
In his speech at AIPAC, Netanyahu said the Moon is the next next Hitler.
Why hasn't America attacked it yet? Where is McCain? McCain will vote to bomb anything for a dollar.
anti semetic alien perhaps :)
Get real. This is the moon we're talking about so the threat is clearly from werewolves, not aliens, sheesh!
I also like the way an infiltration last AUGUST is given as the reason for calling up reserves. What, the memo on security improvements finally moved through the chain of command to where someone did something about it? Whatever's up it's not what they say it is. My bullshit meter is pegged on the max right now. Of course that could be the residual effects from the BLS report.
Cobra (an associate of Drake and David Wilcock) would agree with you. He is calling for a massive "World Liberation Day" meditation to coincide with the exact time of this supermoon. This is supposed to release positive energies which will help the alien resistance to the Illuminati.
http://2012portal.blogspot.ca/
Some things he says are too hokey to be true. Combination of Star Trek and new age woowoo. But the Drake/Wilcock crew are well organized and there has been a LOT of weird shit going on behind the scenes this year.
Maybe this is some kind of psyops against the Illuminati themselves? Use their occult beliefs against them? Something has spooked them.
Greek elections on Sunday 6th of May...
It sounds so much fun!!
The Moon is already part of Eretz Israel. What, you didn't know?
It's currently available for lease because a deal with Newt fell through.
I've got a solution to this whole "peace in the middle east" thing. Wanna hear it?
The 'Madagascar Plan'? I like it!
I propose a modification of rule .303 fortified with Cobolt-60 this time.
I like that plan!
"they would be used as hostages to ensure "future good behavior of the members of their race in America"."
"Higher tides" == 3 to 18 inches. LOL
that's what she said.
The Sunday AM hi/low differential is 10.1 feet at Coyote Point in the SF bay (High 8.5' and low -1.6'), that's pretty big, if there was a winter storm during this, it would flood pretty good. It would also make that particular location, or over at Half Moon Bay, a "must hit" spot for metal detecting (Coyote point was an old waterfront amusement park, and HMB produces silver out the wazoo after big tides/storms).
"...Actually, the Bedouins have asked the Egyptian government to send troops into the Sinai to control the growing lawlessness in the area. Ironically, the Egyptians are forbidden to do so by the tenets of their peace treaty with Israel."
One thing Cashin "forgot" to mention is Amr Moussa's statement that the Treaty of Camp David is dead. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/155313

great music. Should be ZH's theme, or at least on the soundtrack. Throw in some Pixies and a little Rage Against the Machine. Someone get on that.
If I was Tyler, I'd also include this Talking Heads tune (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqZKfxP1J5g) as a background music on ZH
Nice west coast swing tune
anyone knows any joke about jews? well heres my 10 cents...
Sammy has stolen the rabbi's gold watch.
He didn't feel too good about it, so he decided, after a sleepless night.
to go to the rabbi.
'Rabbi, I stole a gold watch.'
'But Sammy ! That's forbidden! You should return it immediately !'
'What shall I do ?'
'Give it back to the owner.'
'Do you want it ?'
'No, I said return it to its owner.'
'But he doesn't want it.'
'In that case, you can keep it.'
Don't the Jews own the Moon?
Yes but as Larry Silverstein just triple insured it against... ahem.... "terrorist attack", should we expect that some "renovations" may soon be on the way?
"They said it was going to come at us 42% stronger so, you know, we gave the go ahead to pull it...to pull the moon." -Larry Silverstein
Just don't ask for delivery on moon futures. I am pretty sure that if they ever had it, they sold it 100 times over.
No.. but they own all of the debt associated with it..
Have they updated the Series 7 exam to include questions about the tide being a main market indicator? Maybe they should scrap the whole exam and start over.
Hey Geotech type dudes - Don't forget to get some fresh tape into the seismographs, could be a crazy week.
any article that references Spinal Tap in the first paragraph must have supernatural powers
'The effects on the tiny minds of traders'....LOL I love reading these lines.
shades of Arch Crawford ......
how does one explain the above the norm accuracy for Arch C and Martin Armstrong by the way ....? It (they) ... logically speaking should, at best, be 'random' and more realistically (since they are attempting to put a 'formulaistic' stamp on their assessments) significantly underperform.
Where is Dom Rumsfeld when you need his help: there are known knowns, known unknowns, ...but what about unknown unknowns?
Hey,fuck Israel,what gonna happen to the local shit heads from this pass by.
Election in Israel in early September... Bibi is expected to gain a majority and will choose all the minister. That should clear all opposition to a strike on Iran... which would happen in October, just before the US election, forcing Obama to go along with it...
Sarkozy the dwarf will lose the election. Duh.
Amr Moussa will win in Egypt.
The extremists parties in Greece will have gains but another EU puppet will take power...
The Japanese government will probably fall soon... again.
NKorea will probably test a nuke within 2 weeks.
There will be riots at the NATO meeting, perhaps even a false-flag...

North’s submarines go off the radarAfter Pyongyang threatened to wage “special action” against Seoul, a number of North Korean submarines have disappeared, a South Korean government official told the JoongAng Ilbo.
“Eight or nine submarines of the North’s East Sea Fleet are missing from our radar,” the high-ranking South Korean official said on Monday. “We are figuring out whether the submarines are conducting a military drill or an actual mission.

Israel Calls Up Reserves to Deal with Threats on Borders
by Jerry Gordon
Algemeiner reported that the IDF requested that the Knesset authorize the call up of 22 Reserve Battalions to deal with threats along the Egyptian, Syrian and Lebanese borders.
There have been more than 50 incidents in the Egyptian Sinai border region provoked by Palestinian and al Qaeda terrorist groups including more than 14 gas pipeline bombings and a cross border attack in August 2011 near Eilat that left eight Israelis dead and more than 33 wounded. Further, there is increasing tensions between Israel and Egypt given statements by Amr Moussa, a former Foreign Minister and leading candidate in the upcoming Egyptian Presidential elections, disavowing the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty of the 1979 Camp David Accords.
On the Syrian border, there is continued unrest given what appears to be a failed Cease Fire Agreement negotiated by former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan between the minority Alawite Baathist regime of embattled President Bashir Assad and armed opposition elements in an attempt to stop the bloodbath that has resulted in upwards of 11,000 deaths. That may force Israel to strengthen the cease fire line with Syria on the Golan Heights.
Given intrusions on both the Syrian and Lebanese borders in June 2011 in which more than 20 were killed and hundreds injured, Israel is replacing its electrified fence along the Lebanese border with a concrete barrier. Israel is currently in the processing of building a security barrier along its southern border with Egypt in the Sinai, which has been breached, recently.
There is a small Multinational Force and Observers (MFO), including a US contingent, positioned in the Sinai established under the 1979 Camp David Accords to monitor the demilitarized area. Given the rise of terrorist group activities in the Sinai Peninsula and Egyptian statements by political candidates and Muslim Brotherhood leaders for an end to the 1979 Peace Treaty between the two countries there could be a demand for ending the MFO and the remilitarization by the Egyptian Army.
The Algemeiner report notes the background for the IDF reserve call up:
Instability in Egypt and Syria has led the Israel Defense Forces to call up 6 additional battalions for emergency duty, with 16 others available if needed.
Israel’s Parliament, the Knesset, received a request from the IDF to call up the reservists and granted that request based on a 2008 law known as the Reserve Duty Law.
“IDF reserve forces are a key component in the IDF’s operation strength, during both routine and emergency situations. Following security assessments, a number of battalions were called up for military service for the second time in a three year period,” the IDF said in a statement to The Algemiener.
Maariv and Russia Today first reported on this story.
“Following the August attack along the Sinai border, the area around Route 12 was divided into two distinct military zones, creating the need for additional manpower,” the IDF said.
Israel has walked a delicate line with Egypt as the Arab nation moves towards a Presidential election that has seen more than 10 candidates disqualified. In early April Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that the Sinai – the area controlled by Egypt that shares a border with Israel – is becoming a serious security concern.
As the international community attempts to negotiate an end to the violence in Syria that has led to thousands of deaths, and calls intensify for President Bashar al-Assad to step down from power, Israel has remained relatively quiet about its neighbor to the north. Recently however, Israeli leaders have been more outspoken about their concerns over Syria and their desire to see Assad go.
“We know our place. It’s not for us to give advice,” a spokesman for Israel’s Foreign Ministry said regarding Syria. “We’re not doing anything to make him go. We’re not getting involved or even thinking of any interference.”

...uh, wait a second here, let me get this right. This month of May starts out with May Day, a distress signal (with roits in the cities due to the economic fraud tsunami), the Super Moon of ''2012'' is rising with the economic wave pattern peak set to fall like a drunken Europa from her Bull, as the QE1234 hup to eternity war against labor calls to lift up the Whores of Babylon skirt and abort the principle aaagain ( market the FUBAR phallic Beast) , as Israel's War cry calls up Reserves, and the Sun is having (has not happened in 300 years) 4 poles at one time event in May (during the begining of solar maximum cycle), and there will be a Solar Eclipse on May 20, 2012, which shall cross the Paific Ring of Fire as it also has a ''Ring of Fire'' because of the placement of the moon? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtSMdiTEIb4 <<< ''the moon forms a black hole in the center of the Sun'' LMAO

Countries with a preponderance of advantages with night-vision light-amplification tech plus high-res thermal IR observation and target designation systems will tend to launch an attack on the darkest of nights. Not on the brightest of moon-lit nights. The IDF tends to pre-empt during ideal circumstances, not wait around to be attacked in less than ideal circumstances.
I seriously doubt Syria or Egypt is getting ready to make any meaningful DIRECT attack on Israel, instead they will tap or back an abundant supply of proxies, keen and willing to payback the Israelis. State to State warfare is most likely not going to occur.
Israel faces increasing chances of low-intensity infiltration and insurgency style attacks, on foot, or with civil vehicles, from multiple regional militias supported by such states, as payback for what's been happening in the region, and who's been driving and lobbying such ideological and military actions, and pandering/lobbying for it to continue. You start shit, or opportunistically stir shit up for years, and murder thousands of people en-masse in Syria, Yemen, Libya, then you'll be paid-back in kind. So militia attacks from Sinai, Gaza, West bank, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and idirectly from Iran are likely to develop and escalate as a result.
It is also likely that US puppet regimes that the US-NATO-Israel alliance have established or supported during the past 10 years are also going to be increasingly systematically attacked, destabilised and economic potential attrited. They will require further 'support' as this occurs, and this process will only end when the US and EU financial, economic and also State ideological system, and many alliances have more-or less ceased to function - just as the equivalent Soviet systems did (at which point Israel will be in very deep shit).
That is going to take a few years.
Expect Israel to again pretend to be all interested in "peaceful-coexistence", of a "two-state solution", and will try to resurrect interest in the former cynical 'peace-plan' paradigm - but I don't think anyone (who matters) will fall for it again. This will be a few more decades of intensifying war until Israel is completely wrecked, minus a viable great-power backer, and unable to survive alone, against a regional population that is not interested in peace with them, either.
