Hello traders
I sent to a friend of mine text about Nostradamus predictions that I
find in my emails from Omega List.
So here is what he answered. It maybe in interest to you, folks.

That Nostradamus prediction? Bogus
OK, you're intelligent folks. So you're probably not among the people
who
have driven videos about Nostradamus to the top of the Amazon.com Top
Sellers list.
Just in case you get Yet Another E-mail about how Nostradamus
predicted last
week's attacks, though, you might want to point the sender to this
Urban
Legends page about the story (side thought: What good is a prediction
if you
can only figure it out after the fact?):
It originated with a student at Brock University in Canada in the
1990s,
appearing on a web page essay on Nostradamus. That particular quatrain
was
offered by the page's author, Neil Marshall, as a fabricated example
to
illustrate how easily an important-sounding prophecy can be crafted
through
the use of abstract imagery. He pointed out how the terms he used were
so
deliberately vague they could be interpreted to fit any number of
cataclysmic events.
Marshall himself has gotten so many hits to that page that he's taken
it
down.
You can read more about the hoax here. One giveaway: The bogus
prediction
has a 1654 date. Nostradamus died in 1566.
