Seeing the S&P 500 and Dow are within 2% of an all-time high, and trading at valuations only surpassed twice in the last 130 years, I don't see much Bearishness.

"A child's life is his home, school, friends and community. It takes a positive experience in all arenas to build a healthy child. We're a registered nonprofit Jewish organization who, together with Oorah, our sister charity, help thousands of children develop into productive members of the community."
What happened to "it's right there on the front of their website"? Will you admit that was a lie?

I think the point is that all the market has to do is fall 2% and BAM, measures of fear and risk skyrocket. Look at that CSFB measure, and look at the VIX (up 40% in a month). Both suggest quite a bit of fear among institutional money.
agip,
True. Although institutional "fear" appears to only be expressed in rising cost of protection. In my view, institutional money is still positioned more for a rising stock market. I see very little in traditional financial media then the standard fare. This week one Wall Street firm raised the 12-month S&P 500 target base case to 2,700 and Bull case to 3,000.

Now we see why this guy calls himself "OOrah".
Besides harping on the definition of the word free, the Oregon attorney general also pointed to the fact that Kars 4 Kids “gives the majority of the money it receives from vehicle donations to another charitable organization, Oorah, for the purpose of paying for children to attend religious schools.†And it is true: Kirwan said that as much as 60 percent of the money donated in a given year is then gifted directly to the explicitly religious Oorah, which is also run by Rabbi Eliyahu Mintz and is headquartered at the same address in Lakewood, N.J. But that percentage provided by Kirwan clouds the true amount of the donation. For example: In 2013, Kars 4 Kids raised around $28 million, over $12 million of which was spent solely on advertising and promotional activities. Of the remaining donations, a few million was spent on payroll and administrative expenses, while the rest, $12.5 million, was gifted directly to Oorah, representing around 80 percent of the money not spent on advertising and promotional activities. Kars 4 Kids itself only spent a few hundred thousand dollars to benefit the “kids†it claims to help in its advertisements.

Uh, that quote came directly from the page you linked. Get your eyes examined.

Not at all,..buried deep in the website. Not on the front page as you claimed...Oorah. Have you no decency? Also even what you cite fails to mention "while the rest, $12.5 million, was gifted directly to Oorah, representing around 80 percent of the money not spent on advertising and promotional activities.

It's a con.

It's absolutely on the front page. You are blind if you cannot see that.

It clearly is not and all can see this.
Boy, when you tell a lie you cling to it no matter what. Does that tell you nothing about yourself?

I guess I am blind too. I went to the website. In order to find your quote you have to click on one of two tabs on the front page -- "About" or "our charity". The front page and the other tabs have no mention of the Jewish aspect of the "charity". And nowhere does it point out that the money goes solely to Jewish kids to indoctrinate them which seems to be the whole rasion d'etre of "Oorah".
What is this Oorah?
If you look into Oorah, it is an org dedicated to " awakening Jewish children and their families to their heritage." In other words, sending healthy, not tribal and not religious kids off to camps for their indoctrination.
I would advise anyone and everyone to steer clear of these fanatics

One Wall Street firm? Isn't that the Wall Street firm that you work for?
Of interest:
The S&P 500 closed below its 50-day moving average of 2,351 on Wednesday, snapping a 105-session streak. It is the longest that the index has finished above this key trend line since the 130-session run in 2011. Falling below the 50-day moving average is typically a bearish sign for the market in the short term. However, stocks tend to rebound in the following month, , according to Bespoke Investment Group.

Do we really think that the market follows these odd patterns?

No it is the firm you work for.
Is GDX or GLD good here? With all this talk with North Korea, US Navy ships/subs heading into the region and the dollar index going lower, could gold or silver be bullish in the short term?

I checked and it's definitely mentioned at the bottom of the organizations home page.
Having mentioned that, I will say this organization has a miserable financial record for a charity.

I do see at the bottom where it notes it is a Jewish org.
I don't see where it says the $$ go to Jewish kids to send them to these orthodox camps
