#OCCUPYWALLSTREET

     I don't know if you all have been following the Occupy Wall Street protests recently but the occupation is really gaining momentum.  I have been watching it from the beginning when I first heard about it in the middle of August.  Here was my first post about it here.

     To be honest, I thought that this occupation promoted by online hactivist collective Anonymous and Adbusters had a real chance to create some havoc and I was worried about the effect on the stock market and my investments.  I kept close tabs on the protest on the first day of the occupation on September 17th, watching the livestream all day long.  Then the market opened on Monday and there was no media coverage of the event and I thought the occupation would just peter out.

     It seemed that way when the thousands of people who initially occupied the park dwindled to hundreds, but then something crazy happened.  After an incident with the police where some protestors got pepper sprayed, the movement finally got some media coverage and the protests really gained some traction.

Anonymous Occupies Wall Street

I have posted a livestream of the event on this page.

Background on this occupation.

Anonymous and Adbusters are at Wall Street planning to stay a long time and they hope to gather more people.

There are thousands of people there.

There is a media blackout of the event so as not to encourage more people to attend.

There is free kool aid at the bull tomorrow.
