This decree, coordinating and bringing up to date ordinances dating in Austria back to 1897, in Germany back to 1868, did not make bullish reading for German investors. They remember how in 1914 much German smart money took its prof its and got out of the market just before the War. Nazi newsorgans attributed last week's break to: 1) turning of securities into cash by German firms desirous of raising further working capital amid the Rearmament scramble; 2) forced sales by Jews squeezed in Vienna and elsewhere in Germany by fresh "Aryanization" measures, one of which excludes Jewish...
...avis, bird, and specere, to see. In ancient Rome the appearance and behavior of birds-whether they were eagles, vultures, owls, crows, or ravens, which direction they flew, how they ate grains of corn-determined whether public assemblies should be held, whether armies should attack, whether merchants should be bullish or bearish...

This week's Rhea letter said that every upward zig-zag step, if confirmed by both averages, would be bullish, but a downward zigzag prior to penetration of 121 and 23.5 would mean danger...
