Morning all,

I just can't get exited about all these dinky little
moves up on pathetic volume.

Take a look at the volumes on this chart and the tight
little candles that keep inching up.

I'm sorry, but I don't buy it. This may continue for a few
days at the beginning of January, but I'm expecting a correction.
Going to watch for some reversal signals that will indicate
an attempt at a swing low at the very least in January.



Melnibone.

Playboy seems to be taking time out - hasn't posted for a while. Hopefully he'll return in the New Year

BERLIN (AP)-- Police closed off streets around a German military hospital in a Hamburg suburb Tuesday after indications that Islamic extremists planned a car bomb attack.

Hamburg police received the tip-off from unidentified "security sources" at 2.30 p.m. (1330 GMT), a city police statement said. "Those potentially involved are believed to me from an Islamic, terrorist background," it added.

30 Dec 2003 20:27 BS DJ Italy Extends Ban On Private Flights Over Rome To Jan 6




ROME (AP)--The Italian government has extended a measure restricting private flights from entering airspace over Rome, officials said Tuesday, amid heightened terrorism warnings over Christmas and New Year.

Authorities decided to extend a ban on noncommercial flights entering airspace within a five mile radius of the center of Rome to Jan. 6, said Nicoletta Tomiselli from the Italian air traffic control agency. The block began Dec. 24 and had been due to expire Monday.

The decision came after Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi told an Italian newspaper that terrorists planned to attack the Vatican with a hijacked plane on Christmas Day. The premier later distanced himself from the comments, but his office didn't deny he said them.

Security is tight all over Italy. Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu said earlier this month that 12,000 police and 4,000 soldiers have been deployed throughout the country to patrol some 8,000 possible targets.
