from Charleston, South Carolina - Latest Business News 5/21/07 Market gurus
The stock market's continued strength in the face of multiple negatives such as rising interest rates, rising gas prices, a slumping housing market may be baffling to some investors. So we're happy to share the reason for the market's astonishing resilience, which we learned from an e-mail we received last week: "What's behind this bull market that has defied the odds and left analysts perplexed? The answer: the dramatic and sustained rise of coherence in national consciousness created by a large group of advanced meditation experts who have assembled in Maharishi Vedic City, Iowa, for the Invincible America Assembly, according to Dr. John Hagelin, world-renowned quantum physicist and executive director of the Center for Invincible Defense." According to Hagelin, the assembly was launched "on July 23, 2006, by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to create coherent national consciousness, the basis of a peaceful, prosperous, invincible country." For those who weren't around in the 1960s, Maharishi Mahesh is the inventor of Transcendental Meditation and probably is best-known as the guru to The Beatles and other pop stars of the time. Whatever advantage the United States has as a result of its Invincible Assembly may be short-lived: Hagelin says that "similar Invincible Assemblies are being established in many nations to form a 'ring of invincibility' around the world, to prevent problems and to promote permanent peace and invincibility in every nation." source: http://www.charleston.net/news/2007/may/21/residents_urged_buy_westvaco_property/
