Special Notice – The Crash of 2008 (no we are not kidding)

You’ve probably never heard of Juval Aviv.   He was an Israeli Mossad agent (their CIA). A real James Bond. He gave information to our federal government about 9/11 and the details of how it would happen, one month before the attack on September 11 occurred.  He informed the FBI and CIA in August 2001 that as many as 200 terrorists were slipping into the United States and planning “a major assault on the United States.”  He cautioned that it had picked up indications of a “large-scale target” in the United States and that Americans would be “very vulnerable.” 

He also gave the exact details of the London subway bombing to MI5 (their CIA) one week before it happened.  He is currently a consultant to the US Congress. 

Here is what he says now, once again in August 2008 and what you need to know. Aviv says the next attack will come in a few months and will involve suicide bombers and non-suicide bombers in places that people congregate like Disneyland, Las Vegas, and big cities like New York, San Francisco, and Chicago.  It will be in shopping malls, subways at rush hour, train stations, casinos, and football stadiums, as well as in rural America in places like Wyoming and Montana. The coming attack will be simultaneous detonations around the country in five to eight cities and the rural areas. This information is well known to the CIA and FBI and has been for years, but the US Federal Government is not saying anything publicly about it, in order not to alarm its citizens. He also says that the US response to this new attack will be for the US to attack both Iran and Syria in return and before Bush leaves office.

We have therefore skewed our computer models to be even more bearish based on the information above in blue.  We always did that on Labor Day weekend anyway, preferring to be short in the fall for any sell off down in October or sometimes Thanksgiving.   But we learned to do it in August instead, and before Labor Day, back in 1998, when the stocks crashed to the third largest drop in history (that record still stands) on August 31.

If you’ve been through the seminars you know that we now skew our computers to the short side more whenever football season starts and that includes the pre-season games. So that time is right now. Couple that, with the information above in blue, and you now know why we have done it even more so for this coming fall of 2008.   Just like last year in the early fall of 2007, we hope the information above in blue is wrong and nothing happens. But we are prepared if it does.
