Peaceful flash mobs performed by young Ukrainians are popping
up protesting anyone purchasing Russian products. Ukraine officials arrest a
group planning an attack against the interim government. Over one dozen people
are arrested and their guns, grenades, knives and Molotov cocktails
confiscated. Putin would like to see, and may orchestrate, violence and unrest
in eastern Ukraine since it will provide an excuse for the Russian troops,
remaining near the border, to invade.
Another banker shows up dead. This time Jan Peter
Schmittman, 57, that ran ABN Amro, a Dutch bank, until 2007, is found dead by
an older daughter. His wife, 57, and younger daughter, 22, are also dead at
their home. Authorities label the tragedy as a family disturbance gone bad but
will not supply any details just like prior banker deaths and suicides. Schmittman
orchestrated the split of ABN Amro into smaller units during the 2008-2009
financial crisis that were absorbed by Fortis, Santander and Royal Bank of
Scotland. The banker deaths now total one dozen over the last 3-1/2 months.

A Bradley turn date occurs today indicating that markets may
experience a trend change give or take a few days on each side of the date.
Bradley’s do not forecast direction. Perhaps Friday’s market move lower
identifies a near term market top?
