Automation..
Hi Guys,
Here we are about two weeks before the election watching the averages levitate as if being lifted by the hand of God himself. (Hmm... those who have studied the matter know that the people in a position to pull that off think themselves next to God or "gods in the making" if you will... read into that what you want) Anyway... after the vote maybe we'll get the long overdue correction. For now... forcecasting is futile.
Not all news is bad but not all news is great either. On a fundamental note.... The war in Iraq is going horribly (96 Americans and God only knows how many innocent Iraqis in October alone) and this morning they reported that Home prices in the US declined year over year a whopping 9%! How many home morgage owners, apon hearing this news are going to wake up and realize they are underwater on their housing purchase and probably saddled with a rapidly rising adjustable morgage ta boot! The house refinance cash machine has definitely been unplugged and this is not good news for consumer spending . Consequently it should not be good news for the stock market either. But the averages seem increasingly disconnected from reality so who knows...
I've been working on new software features. I just completed an automation spreadsheet that will fetch data from Yahoo finance, update a list of spreadsheets, label and print the charts, write the HTML and FTP it all website. All this can be set up using windows task manager to happen while you sleep sothat in the morning, while sipping your coffee, you can puruse your newly updated charts... AT WORK! Eventually I'll put a page on the website with some "auto-updated" charts I watch. For now I'm switching gears back to documentation ... which is the last step I need to complete before I can offer these addins to the public. Take Care.
