Ther...Refreshing insight on the staleness of news. There is, however, a mine field of opportunity in analyzing and tagging all news. Services like the failed Monitor110 and currently Psyng seek patterns in keywords mentioned across all sources as well as who is speaking and from which source its coming.<br /><br />The bottom line is information gathered from a speaker's notes at a exclusive conference or a researcher's white paper holds more value for seeking out a trend if found in a timely manner than when the same trend finally gets explained on the local 5pm FOX news channel.<br /><br />I stick to what the technicals tell me in real-time and to what patterns are in motion. For the reasons you point out services like Briefing and NeedtoKnowNews use my real-time service to add color to their news information services - often describing a spike/wiggle in volume or price in advance of the news that generated it.AvidVineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17716821444117266940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7444476276287180978.post-63166553033551351692009-06-17T12:45:29.499-04:002009-06-17T12:45:29.499-04:00I found google news search to be an interesting to...I found google news search to be an interesting tool for sniffing trends like that. The first relevant mention of "financial Armageddon" was mentioned after March '07 drop, right before Blackstone went public. The mention of the phrase peaked in August '07 and I guess people decided that it was just heresy and forget about it for another until around the big drop of '08.<br /><br />http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=financial+Armageddon&scoring=t&hl=en&ned=us&sa=N&sugg=d&as_ldate=2008&as_hdate=2009&lnav=hist14JYY 葉傑森https://www.blogger.com/profile/09487183310279884845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7444476276287180978.post-31228493142484031192009-06-17T12:39:32.549-04:002009-06-17T12:39:32.549-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.JYY 葉傑森https://www.blogger.com/profile/09487183310279884845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7444476276287180978.post-61807426617767854142009-06-16T18:25:25.582-04:002009-06-16T18:25:25.582-04:00Quote me on this one:

The bull market started right there, even though we remain in the giant trading range - see 1974.Michael Kahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668546349672243203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7444476276287180978.post-77755519049956804072009-06-16T08:19:00.886-04:002009-06-16T08:19:00.886-04:00True -- but don't forget that by October '...True -- but don't forget that by October '07 the credit markets had already started to come unglued...
