WASHINGTON – The influenza vaccine given to Americans may not protect as well as expected, U.S. health officials said on Friday as the number of flu cases increased nationwide.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said slightly more than half of the influenza virus strains reported to its surveillance system are not good matches against the strains included in this flu season’s vaccine.
The number of states reporting widespread flu activity jumped to 31 this week compared with 11 a week ago, the CDC said. But Dr. Joe Bresee of the CDC’s influenza division said there are no indications this flu season is worse than usual.

“Seasonal flu activity was slow to start this year but has increased sharply in recent weeks,” Bresee told reporters.
One measure officials use to gauge the severity of the season is the number of flu-related child deaths. Bresee said the CDC has heard of six U.S. children who have died from the flu, a relatively low number compared with recent years.
Flu viruses mutate and change all the time, so every year a different vaccine is created as officials predict which particular strains will circulate.
The vaccine is designed to protect against three influenza strains — two from Type A, an H1N1 and an H3N2 version, and one for Type B.
Bresee said about 30 percent of the overall strains of influenza in the United States may be a Type A strain that emerged in Australia called H3N2 A/Brisbane. It emerged too late to be included in the flu vaccine offered in the United States beginning in September and October.
The Type B strain chosen for this year’s vaccine also was not a good match for most of the B virus strains seen in the United States this flu season, Bresee said.
“While a less-than-ideal virus match between the viruses in the vaccine and those circulating viruses can reduce vaccine effectiveness, we know from past influenza studies that the vaccine can still protect enough to make illness milder or prevent flu-related complications,” Bresee said.

Bresee noted that decisions on the composition of the annual vaccine are made about nine months before it is made available to the public in the fall, and it is sometimes hard to know that far in advance which strains will circulate.
Flu vaccines take months to make.
Bresee also said some resistance is being reported to the antiviral drug Tamiflu, made by Switzerland’s Roche Holding AG and Gilead Sciences Inc of the United States. Of the viruses tested in CDC flu labs, 4.5 percent are resistant to the drug, Bresee said.
Influenza kills an estimated 36,000 Americans in an average year, and puts 200,000 into the hospital, the CDC said.

WE JUST GOT BETTER!
We already had some of the safest option trading strategies ever taught anywhere,
but one thing leads to another, and we just got even better!
RECENT DISCOVERIES : RISK-FREE INSURANCE
Recently, weve developed a Self-Adjusting trading system which in a few words is Simply Amazing! What weve done is discovered a way to trade with nearly Risk-Free Insurance. What this means is that the insurance we use to protect our trades virtually risks nothing if we do not use it. In a normal situation, insurance strategies lose money each month and eat up your profits, but weve designed a way around this problem!
A REAL-LIFE TRADING EXAMPLE
Lets say you want to trade an Iron Condor, but you want to do this with insurance to the upside and to the downside. Well, 99.99% of all option traders only know how to design a trade where the insurance will eat up most of the profits if the Iron Condor is profitable. With our newly designed Risk-Free Insurance Method, we can trade the Iron Condor with surrounding insurance plays which do not take away from the Condor profits. In fact, many of the insurance plays will also make money while simultaneously adding insurance to the position!
STRATEGY FEEDBACK
Student feedback on this new strategy has been more than awesome, and I am loving it myself. In all my years in options education as a former student and now as a mentor, I have never seen or heard of this technique. Students are saying that I invented this. They could be right, but all I know is that our new Risk-Free Insurance Strategy is the best thing I have ever seen when it comes to trading options.
WHAT THIS IS NOT!
This is not just simply putting an option spread such as a Calendar or Butterfly to the upside and downside of our trades. That style of trading is what ordinary traders do. That type of protection takes away most of the profit you can ever make at the money.
The brilliance of our Risk- Free Insurance concept is that it’s just that: Risk-Free Insurance! Our option trading system blows all others away because of this. You get protection, but this protection does not cut into your profits on Condors and other ATM income strategies. It’s genius. It’s truly an award-winning option strategy.

There are may different systems for trading on line. Some are Dynamic Trend, Teach Me To Trade, etc…
I have been trading online for the past six years, and learned a number of different trading systems, and I can tell you there are no perfect system for everybody in all conditions. To complicate the matter further, you can choose different security types such as bonds, mutual funds, stocks, options, FOREX, etc. The choice of a trading system for your own situation will depend on:
- The amount of capital you have: you will be more conservative the less you have so you don’t loose it all in a few trades.
- Your tolerance to risk: what is the worst single loss you are able to tolerate in a single trade? What about losses in a week or month?
- The time you are willing and able to dedicate to trading everyday: For active trading, you should dedicate at least 30 minutes a day, with a few additional hours for stock screening and administration of your account.
- How much you control your emotions (fear and greed): this is one of the biggest danger of trading, what will make you fail to follow your own trading systems. Watch-out for that.
The key for most people is to keep track of the trades you have done, along with information for each trade of what system you are using to buy and sell. After a trade, rate yourself on how much you have been able to actually follow the system you chose in the first place when you placed the trades.
First, take a course or read books and learn a trading system. Make sure your system includes portfolio management and trade risk management. Check here for a few references: http://online-investing-review.com/blog/online-stock-trading/
Before investing real money, use virtual trading where you invest with fake money using exactly the same tools as if it were real money. This will save you thousands in avoiding real losses. When you trade virtual money, be as careful as if it were real money and be consistent. Make sure you track all of these virtual trades in your trading journal. See here for an excellent and free virtual trading environment: http://vse.marketwatch.com/Game/Homepage.aspx
Looking back weekly and after a few months, review your trading journal:
- Are there some trading systems that you had trouble following? If yes, they may be bad trading system for you.
- Among the trading system you were able to follow well, what is the average return?
- Since trading systems work differently on stocks, mutual funds or options, keep track of these and see what type of security worked best with specific trading systems.
In conclusion, you have to invest time and money to learn and try trading systems methodically to find the best system for you personality and your personal situation. Keeping accurate record of your trades and results will allow you to make an objective decisions and adjust your trading style to maximize your profits.
I need some software that can calculate live (either in realtime or at each minute’s update) the percent overlay/underlay of all horses in each race in all tracks in the U.S.; if it could sort by low to high odds both Morning Line and Post Time that would be a plus (to reflect whether a horse had changed position with respect to low-to-high odds standing, either going lower in position, staying the same or going higher with respect to other horses in the field), much like certain stock trading accounts have software that shows price percent change stock rankings.
I could do all this with Excel but as my system is based on making dozens of very small bets per day, that is not an option, as there is not enough time to manually process each bet due to the changes that occur each minute and the number of possible simultaneous bets at various tracks which would tend to split my attention.
Here is a good software on the subject http://xrl.us/sure2profit
1. Paulson appears on Face The Nation and says "Our banking system is a safe and a sound one." If the banking system was safe and sound, everyone would know it (or at least think it). There would be no need to say it.
2. Paulson says the list of troubled banks "is a very manageable situation". The reality is there are 90 banks on the list of problem banks. Indymac was not one of them until a month before it collapsed. How many other banks will magically appear on the list a month before they collapse?
3. In a Northern Rock moment, depositors at Indymac pull out their cash. Police had to be called in to ensure order.
4. Washington Mutual (WM), another troubled bank, refused to honor Indymac cashier’s checks. The irony is it makes no sense for customers to pull insured deposits out of Indymac after it went into receivership. The second irony is the last place one would want to put those funds would be Washington Mutual. Eventually Washington Mutual decided it would take those checks but with an 8 week hold. Will Washington Mutual even be around 8 weeks from now?
5. Paulson asked for "Congressional authority to buy unlimited stakes in and lend to Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE)" just days after he said "Financial Institutions Must Be Allowed To Fail". Obviously Paulson is reporting from the 5th dimension. In some alternate universe, his statements just might make sense.
6. Former Fed Governor William Poole says "Fannie Mae, Freddie Losses Makes Them Insolvent".
7. Paulson says Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are "essential" because they represent the only "functioning" part of the home loan market. The firms own or guarantee about half of the $12 trillion in U.S. mortgages. Is it possible to have a sound banking system when the only "functioning" part of the mortgage market is insolvent?
8. Bernanke testified before Congress on monetary policy but did not comment on either money supply or interest rates. The word "money" did not appear at all in his testimony. The only time "interest rate" appeared in his testimony was in relation to consumer credit card rates. How can you have any reasonable economic policy when the Fed chairman is scared half to death to discuss interest rates and money supply?
9. The SEC issued a protective order to protect those most responsible for naked short selling. As long as the investment banks and brokers were making money engaging in naked shorting of stocks, there was no problem. However, when the bears began using the tactic against the big financials, it became time to selectively enforce the existing regulation.
10. The Fed takes emergency actions twice during options expirations week in regards to the discount window and rate cuts.
11. The SEC takes emergency action during options expirations week regarding short sales.
12. The Fed has implemented an alphabet soup of pawn shop lending facilities whereby the Fed accepts garbage as collateral in exchange for treasuries. Those new Fed lending facilities are called the Term Auction Facility (TAF), the Term Security Lending Facility (TSLF), and the Primary Dealer Credit Facility (PDCF).
13. Citigroup (C), Lehman (LEH), Morgan Stanley(MS), Goldman Sachs (GS) and Merrill Lynch (MER) all have a huge percentage of level 3 assets. Level 3 assets are commonly known as "marked to fantasy" assets. In other words, the value of those assets is significantly if not ridiculously overvalued in comparison to what those assets would fetch on the open market. It is debatable if any of the above firms survive in their present form. Some may not survive in any form.
14. Bernanke openly solicits private equity firms to invest in banks. Is this even close to a remotely normal action for Fed chairman to take?
15. Bear Stearns was taken over by JPMorgan (JPM) days after insuring investors it had plenty of capital. Fears are high that Lehman will suffer the same fate. Worse yet, the Fed had to guarantee the shotgun marriage between Bear Stearns and JP Morgan by providing as much as $30 billion in capital. JPMorgan is responsible for only the first 1/2 billion. Taxpayers are on the hook for all the rest. Was this a legal action for the Fed to take? Does the Fed care?
16. Citigroup needed a cash injection from Abu Dhabi and a second one elsewhere. Then after announcing it would not need more capital is raising still more. The latest news is Citigroup will sell $500 billion in assets. To who? At what price?
17. Merrill Lynch raised $6.6 billion in capital from Kuwait Mizuho, announced it did not need to raise more capital, then raised more capital a few week later.
18. Morgan Stanley sold a 9.9% equity stake to China International Corp. CEO John Mack compensated by not taking his bonus. How generous. Morgan Stanley fell from $72 to $37. Did CEO John Mack deserve a paycheck at all?
19. Bank of America (BAC) agreed to take over Countywide Financial (CFC) and twice announced Countrywide will add profits to B of A. Inquiring minds were asking "How the hell can Countrywide add to Bank of America earnings?" Here’s how. Bank of America just announced it will not guarantee $38.1 billion in Countrywide debt. Questions over "Fraudulent Conveyance" are now surfacing.
20. Washington Mutual agreed to a death spiral cash infusion of $7 billion accepting an offer at $8.75 when the stock was over $13 at the time. Washington Mutual has since fallen in waterfall fashion from $40 and is now trading near $5.00 after a huge rally.
21. Shares of Ambac (ABK) fell from $90 to $2.50. Shares of MBIA (MBI) fell from $70 to $5. Sadly, the top three rating agencies kept their rating on the pair at AAA nearly all the way down. No one can believe anything the government sponsored rating agencies say.
22. In a panic set of moves, the Fed slashed interest rates from 5.25% to 2%. This was the fastest, steepest drop on record. Ironically, the Fed chairman spoke of inflation concerns the entire drop down. Bernanke clearly cannot tell the truth. He does not have to. Actions speak louder than words.
23. FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair said the FDIC is looking for ways to shore up its depleted deposit fund, including charging higher premiums on riskier brokered deposits.
24. There is roughly $6.84 Trillion in bank deposits. $2.60 Trillion of that is uninsured. There is only $53 billion in FDIC insurance to cover $6.84 Trillion in bank deposits. Indymac will eat up roughly $8 billion of that.
25. Of the $6.84 Trillion in bank deposits, the total cash on hand at banks is a mere $273.7 Billion. Where is the rest of the loot? The answer is in off balance sheet SIVs, imploding commercial real estate deals, Alt-A liar loans, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bonds, toggle bonds where debt is amazingly paid back with more debt, and all sorts of other silly (and arguably fraudulent) financial wizardry schemes that have bank and brokerage firms leveraged at 30-1 or more. Those loans cannot be paid back.
What cannot be paid back will be defaulted on. If you did not know it before, you do now. The entire US banking system is insolvent.
I have my garden, well stocked pantry sheld, outdoor stove, fire wood and propone burners. This will get worse…much much worse……..good luck to all!!….be prepared
My philosophy is spend it before they steal it. As it is, our currency is only worth half what it was a year ago. That means the banking system has stolen half of your savings. That is why I am investing all my money in energy. I just bought a wood stove since it was only 2k more than my yearly propane bill. Solar panels and an electric car is next. This, my fixed morgage and my garden will protect me from the thieves that run the banking system. I feel sorry for all you suckers that are being screwed by the banks. Take your money out and invest in your future!!!!
