Lots of symbolism, rediscovered wisdom and a beautiful girl! What more could you want? The Wizard Of Oz was released in 1939 during the height of the Great Depression at a time when totalitarianism was on the rise around the world. And these rising powers thought that America, like Dorothy, was young, naive and weak, and they were right about the first two. But America wasn’t weak and was in the process of reconsidering and changing its own society with the hope of finally realizing the promise of its constitution. And despite much backsliding, America continues today to rediscover the lessons taught by her founders and to move forward.
Also look into bernanke, paulson, geithner, greenspan, hillary or bill clinton, michael savage, glen beck, keith olbermann, randi rhodes, judy garland, rachael maddow, the daily show with jon stewart, the colbert report and bill o’rilley. Or fundamental christianity or christian evangelical theory, liberalism, progressive or liberal ideas, wwII, war, the union movement, workers’ rights, patriotism or patriot liberty from the bible, constitution or the declaration of independence. Philosophy and political science are good, too. And democrat and republican welfare programs, like social security, medicare, medicaid and the threat of bankruptcy or insolvency.

Chapter 6: Antwerp, the age of printing (1500-1560)
“…becomes the main place for trading in goods from Northern Europe…. traded against products from the Orient…. bourse becomes Europe’s main financial centre… for insurance, betting + lotteries… banking network helped finance foreign trade… essential element(s) in mercantile power…
“…first user of… innovation… in printing…. paves the way for freedom of expression, advances in individualism + reason…. and propagation of the Judaic(?) ideal…. destroys the (rule of) the Vatican + holy Roman empire… to unite Europe around the Latin language + the Catholic Church…”
“Foreigners come flocking in, accenting progress + boosting the city’s energy + vitality…”
“The wars of religion (destroy) the sea routes …cut Antwerp off from its sources of trade… the city no longer has the means… at the mercy of even the smallest financial crisis… hit by… stock market speculation…”
So the early communications technology of printed books + papers, etc, transformed society just as the internet is doing today – and freeing people from the agendas of politics, doctrines of hegemonic empires and constructed dogmas of religions – if we will but tear ourselves away from the hypnotic television ‘entertainment’ industry designed to keep us all more or less permanently asleep, uhh. Only the Catholic Church then as media corporations are now, tended to take advantage to ruthlessly capture their own market and feed them their diet of dressed-up lies, meaningless platitudes and half-truths as a cover for their own lack of spirituality whilst ever maintaining control through fear, ignorance + prejudice.
But the physical presence of people with ideas from other countries is also as significant today as no one country has a monopoly on intelligence. Thus the destructive + regressive effect of “wars of religion” today (the West is still wantonly fighting the un-Christian Crudases of 1,000 years ago) as a means of feeding the USA’s military-industrial complex instead of its relying on trade for its wealth any more. Sadly, the state of Belgium had little use for African people in its dark colonial empire days, though. “Heart of Darkness” was written about the viciousness of the 1800’s Belgian colonial regime in the Congo. So much for European ‘civilization’ and their much-touted Christianity.
Interesting contemporary comparison – “Britain has become a “brittle” society where even the smallest effect on resources risks bringing the country to its knees…” http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/5172557/Britain-has-become-brittle-society-says-think-tank.html

A lesson on how to trade the Inverted Hammer and Shooting Star Candlestick Chart Patterns for active traders and investors using technical analysis in the stock, futures, and forex markets.
In our last lesson we learned about the Morning and Evening Star Candlestick Patterns. In today’s lesson we are going to wrap up our series on candlestick patterns with a look at the Inverted Hammer and the Shooting Star candlestick patterns.
The Inverted Hammer
As its name implies, the inverted Hammer looks like an upside down version of the Hammer pattern which we learned about several lessons ago. Like the Hammer Pattern, the Inverted Hammer is comprised of one candle and when found in a downtrend is considered a potential reversal pattern.
The pattern is made up of a candle with a small lower body and a long upper wick which is at least two times as large as the short lower body. The body of the candle should be at the low end of the trading range and there should be little or no lower wick in the candle.
What the pattern is basically telling us is that although sellers ended up driving price down to close near to where it opened, buyers had significant control of the market at some point during the period which formed the long upper wick. This buying pressure during the downtrend calls the trend into question which is why the candle is considered a potential reversal pattern. Like the other one candle patterns we have learned about however, most traders will wait for a higher open on the next trading period before taking any action based on the pattern.
Most traders will also look at a longer wick as a sign of a greater potential reversal and like to see an increase in volume on the day the Inverted Hammer Forms.
The Shooting Star
pic
The Shooting Star looks exactly the same as the Inverted Hammer, but instead of being found in a downtrend it is found in an uptrend and thus has different implications. Like the Inverted Hammer it is made up of a candle with a small lower body, little or no lower wick, and a long upper wick that is at least two times the size of the lower body.
The long upper wick of the pattern indicates that the buyers drove prices up at some point during the period in which the candle was formed but encountered selling pressure which drove prices back down for the period to close near to where they opened. As this occurred in an uptrend the selling pressure is seen as a potential reversal sign. When encountering this pattern traders will look for a lower open on the next period before considering the pattern valid.
As with the Inverted Hammer most traders will see a longer wick as a sign of a greater potential reversal and like to see an increase in volume on the day the Shooting Star forms.
Chart
That completes this lesson and wraps up our series on candlestick chart patterns. In our next lesson we are going to start a new series with a look at Money Management and how this applies to profitable trading so we hope to see you in that lesson.
