[size=6][b]2018 = YEAR OF COMET

On Dec. 16th, this hyperactive comet will come within 11.5 million km of Earth–making it one of the 10 closest-approaching comets of the Space Age. Comet 46P/Wirtanen will probably become a naked eye object for several weeks during the holidays, prompting some astronomers to call it “the Comet of the Year.” A green ball of gas wider than the planet Jupiter is approaching Earth. It’s name is “Comet 46P/Wirtanen.” Italian astronomer Rolando Ligustri photographed the verdant orb on Oct. 18th using a remote-controlled telescope in Australia:[color=green][size=5][b]FUTURES UP +150 & hopeful for a good “CAT BOUNCE” today 8)

[color=purple][b]Sadly a total of TEN mail bombs discovered 🙁
And media is already placing some blame even on president – even though there are many unknowns. (for his tough Patton-like stands) … hopefully those behind this will be quickly found — as authorities trace their way thru.
Not sure if bombs are even “working” devices … while I lean more to alt-right disturbed person, this could even be a ploy to make ADMIN look bad just like KAV hearing & massive invasion force coming from south (which does have some funding & organization).
But whether attacks come from right or left — they are criminal (and they are not fault at all of #45)
We do need a more peaceful world as noted in one of my all time favorites from 1971 🙂 [/b][/color]

Atlanta Fed GDPNow is cut to 3.6% from 3.9%
The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the third quarter of 2018 is 3.6 percent on October 25, down from 3.9 percent on October 17. The nowcast of third-quarter real residential investment growth fell from -1.6 percent to -4.1 percent after housing market reports from the National Association of Realtors and the U.S. Census Bureau. An increase in the nowcast of third-quarter real nonresidential equipment investment growth from 2.7 percent to 3.8 percent was more than offset by declines in the nowcasts of the contributions of net exports and inventory investment to third-quarter real GDP growth from -1.11 percentage points and 2.20 percentage points, respectively, to -1.24 percentage points and 2.08 percentage points, respectively, after this morning’s advance reports on durable manufacturing, international trade, and inventories from the Census Bureau.
