This is NOT science fiction - honest!

I ran across some "interesting facts" about the planets and other space-related objects today. See if you agree...

Every gaseous planet has rings.

Uranus is the only known planet that spins on its side; every other planet spins counterclockwise except for Venus. Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise.

A white dwarf is smaller than the state of Texas, but so dense that if a cubic inch of it were brought to earth, it would weigh more than 1.5 million tons.

A neutron star is so dense that a tablespoon of matter from it would weigh over 5,000 tons.

There are more stars in space than there are specks of sand on the Earth.

Next to the sun, the closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, which is part of the Alpha Centauri System 4.3 light-years from us, which has three stars. Proxima Centauri, and two larger stars Alpha Centauri A and B.

Fun stuff.

The DJIA committed what I had thought would be science fiction today... it took out its November low and is now at its lowest point since October 2002. The Nasdaq is still holding up above its November low. Both indexes are now in tremendously oversold territory, so... unless we just have a market crash (fingers crossed!)... we're due at least a "mercy bounce" here.

One strong sector today was Auto Parts. Good charts there include AZO, CPRT, ORLY, and AAP.

WFMI (Whole Foods Market Inc.) was up a tidy 37.24% on humongous volume due to several analyst upgrades. Pretty tasty!

But I'm going back to the Precious Metals sector for my recommendation today. I've found a dandy of an ARM Play setup. The stock was up over 18% today on huge volume, and I think it has even more upside ahead. I'll name it for my Premium Members.
