Automated Mindless Censorship

Here is my final rebuttal to Tom McClellan’s taste for charting. It is a news item from today’s Bloomberg about a Singapore gambling stock:

Genting Singapore Plc, the worst performing stock on the Straits Times Index this year, may extend declines should key moving averages intersect in a ‘dead cross’ pattern, according to DMG & Partners Securities Pte.

If that is not a self-fulfilling prophesy, what is?

Today’s blog is about sex and hard liqueur. But first a bit of help with the Internet.

Yesterday I was too clever by half. I headlined my daily blog “Eurodollars and Female Viagra” and many did not receive it because it triggered spamblockers. Our webmaster sent those whose bounced emails hit him a new version headlined: “Eurodollars and Female Prescriptions.”

If you are a paid subscriber, you can view either version on the website without Mrs. Gundy stopping you. If you are not a paid subscriber, become one to avoid automated brain-dead censorship..

Internet ain’t easy. We were subject to a phish attack from Paypal, a service that we occasionally used in the past. Most subscription credit card orders now come via our authorize.net merchant account which links our website to our bank.

Because of the phish attack, with their tech support, we locked down the paypal acccount. Subscribers who had expected to renew automatically with paypal are warned that it will not work. You will receive notification from our website to renew and you should click to it. There are no automatic renewals with our merchant account although these were possible with the now unsafe paypal.

For all matters of subscription and renewal please visit www.global-investing.com where you can log on with a password you set, or get a new log on. This way, you can even read about female V1@gr@, which of course was a perfectly legitimate part of yesterday’s blog.
