    I love this show. Will be the next HBO legacy series. Stands up in comparison to other amazing HBO shows like The Wire, Sapranos and Rome.

          Any chance we can have a Omar Little or Chalky White background? Michael Kenneth Williams plays an amazing gangster, his work transcends decades.

      I would throw Carnivale out there too – was a great show, underrated, and ended too soon. Sopranos and Wire are tops for me.

          Yeah Brother Justin is up there with Agent Van Alden from Boardwalk for interesting character studies. I downloaded the entire series a while back and have been meaning to watch it.

    Fly,

    Been busy all day but would feel like an ungrateful bastard if I didn’t stop in and thank you. You nailed this tape to the fucking T like no one else. Your conviction last week gave me the courage to hold firm, and it paid off. Saved my year, as I made all my money back and MORE with this rally. It’s hilarious to see ZH and SH reveling in how right they are only to see the tide turn and swallow them whole. Again. God bless!

      ZH is a doom a gloom, goldbug site. You can’t play the markets with a biased mentality. It is a risk on/off market on an overnight basis for the foreseeable future. Anyone who can time this is clairvoyant and obviously acting in cocncert with sub-devils via human sacrifice and voodoo magic.

    During the last few seconds of that clip there’s a command shouted in the background and when I was watching the show I knew I heard it before but couldn’t quite place it. I just figured it out; it’s from an old computer game- Command and Conquer: Red Alert. The sound clip is from an effects bank.

    Seeing as how they’re in Atlantic City in that scene it’s rather odd that the actual command is from a Nazi General/Hitler/whomever, but the phrase is “Die Waffen Legt An!” Translation is “ready your weapons” or “aim your weapons!”

      I don’t think it’s from that game. The scene takes place in a room in an armory in NJ where soldiers are drilling outside. It’s where Nucky eventually gets the surplus Thompson sub-machine guns that he trades to the IRA for Irish whiskey. So I think it’s National guard soldiers drilling outside, a sergeant barking out orders or some such, but in English.

        No. nein. NIET!

        It’s a generic sound clip from some cd or database that their sound guy decided to use for the scene in Boardwalk Empire. It’s exactly the same, and it’s German. Click on the youtube clip I posted below and go to 2:08.

    What… No. Deflation in Japan

    Japan’s October CPI signals deflation
    Japan’s core consumer-price index fell in October, signaling the return of deflation after four months of price gains, and raising fresh doubts about the Bank of Japan’s claim of a trend change in the price environment.

      I don’t agree. The yen is easing a bit here which should help but more importantly GDP numbers were good, retail sales were up sharply, household spending is up, industrial production rebounded, and auto factories ramping should help them soon. Motor vehicles have been strong this year. They did open and make available swap lines today too with other central banks although that may have a negligible effect. Unemployment did tick up last reading but hopefully that is residual tsunami destruction.

    OEW Daily Recap:

    “… for now we can state the uptrend from SPX 1075 to 1293 looked impulsive, and the downtrend from 1293-1159 looks corrective. Impulsive uptrends and corrective downtrends occur in bull markets, not bear. As soon as we get an uptrend confirmation, confirming the downtrend was corrective, we will shift to long term bullish.”

    I may be discarding my bear suit for something more optimistic shortly … All hale The Clam aka The Pusher Man!

    “Short term support is at the 1240 and 1222 pivots. Short term resistance is at the 1261 pivot and upper 1270s. Short term momentum remains quite overbought, and may be setting up a negative RSI divergence. Tomorrow’s opening should be important short term.”

    alf44 could go the way of the horse, buggy & VegasTraderII very soon if he doesn’t respect The Pusher Man.

    Just an FYI — Arnold Rothstein was a real dude.

    Bad motherfucker. I think he fixed the 1919 World Series, if I recall correctly.

    It all ended in blood for him.

      Purportedly taught Lucky Luciano how to dress. When the Feds finally took Luciano down, they all remarked that he was the best dressed, most well-mannered gangster they had ever met. He credited Rothstein with having influenced him.

      True, but the Boardwalk character (so far, anyway) is based only on Rothstein’s “good characteristics.” He was brilliant and pretty much invented modern organized crime, but was also completely addicted to gambling and ended up being murdered for failing to pay up losses at cards.

      The man is an actor playing a non-fictional historical character role. The man is not fictitious, but it’s quite likely the role is fictionalized.

          Sort of like historical fiction novels, which are fun as well.

      Ace Rothstein from Scorcese’s Casino was another great character also based on a real person – an oddsmaker, I think.

      I didn’t like that flick the first time I saw it (in a theatre), then, on DVD, I saw it about 8 times.

      I think only Gallipoli have a I seen more often.
