Watched the movie "White Noise" last night - fact or fiction?

In common with my viewing last night the principal character John dies as did Julia in Y tu Mamá tambien. Also I did not fall asleep watching either movie:)

The title 'White Noise' refers to the phenomenon known as Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP). People believe that you can hear voices of the dead in the white noise of a detuned radio and even see faces from the white noise on the television set. Michael Keaton stars in this thriller as Jonathan Rivers, a man who had just lost his wife in a freak accident. Raymond Price (Ian McNeice) meets with Jonathan and tells him that his wife Anna has contacted him from the other side. Jonathan doesn't believe him until he hears Anna's voice on his radio. Jonathan wants to talk to his wife, and he gets all the equipment. There is only one thing that Jonathan doesn't know, there are also bad people on the other side.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (fiction)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (fact)

White noise is a random signal (or process) with a flat power spectral density. In other words, the signal's power spectral density has equal power in any band, at any centre frequency, having a given bandwidth. White noise is considered analogous to white light which contains all frequencies.

An infinite-bandwidth, white noise signal is purely a theoretical construction. By having power at all frequencies, the total power of such a signal is infinite. In practice, a signal can be "white" with a flat spectrum over a defined frequency band. .......

Being interested in the para normal this could justify further investigation!

Watched Y tu mamá también last night - What did other views think of this Mexican Movie?

La nueva y aclamada película mexicana Y tu mamá también habla de sexo de manera frontal, divertida y desenfadada. Pero más que el tema de la última realización de Alfonso Cuarón (Grandes esperanzas, La princesita), las relaciones sexuales explícitas, los diálogos subidos de tono y el erotismo candente son sólo excusas para marcar un punto de quiebre, una transición. El sexo, o más bien ciertas situaciones particulares relacionadas con el sexo, será el inicio del camino hacia la madurez de dos adolescentes, Julio y Tenoch. Situado en la ciudad de México, de donde el director es oriundo aunque hace unos años reside y filma en los Estados Unidos, el cuarto largometraje de Cuarón (ayudado por el guión de su hermano Carlos) resulta un film íntimo, personal y bastante alejado de sus producciones anteriores.

I am fluent in Spanish but this version did have subtitles which helped with some of the Mexican dialogue but if you want to know more about it in English go here

Hot stock - Oil Search - Yesterday I mentioned this stock and today and analyst on Bloomberg tipped it

I did some navigating and found this article


Worth buying? Oil Search may look a touch expensive on traditional valuation measures, with price-to-earnings ratio in the mid-20s for the next couple of years. However, this premium is justified, given the company's attractive long-term growth prospects.

Put simply, there are relatively few petroleum companies in the market with such strong and clear growth opportunities as Oil Search.

Crude Oil at $140 - is it right that speculators should make money out of this at the expense of normal people?

Hello visitors - I have just received this from Brad

"I just heard on Fox News that Crude futures are trading around 140...what do you think of that? I'm floored, worried, and long crude...ha!

I talked to Adam yesterday and we decided to do a video that shows two things:

1. How successful our Crude Oil trades have been since the beginning of the year.

2. The technical analysis, doneby Adam as well as our Trade Triangles, that got us into those successful trades."

I suppose on answer would be "If you cannot beat them join them" By joining
MarketClub you might cover your rising.gas costs and maybe a bit more.
Personally - Goldbug is in BP
(BP.L) - BG (BG.L) and Oil Search (OSH.AX)
It is said that the price of energy stocks is lagging well behing the price of the
commodity. If it catches up there should be some good gains. Oil Search has
not made the percentage gains of other companies operating in its region and
could well have been overlooked by investors.
