Claus von Bülow

Will today be the day that the Daily Trend Models signal a reversal of fortune for the equity markets?  We will know if and when the Daily Models breach thresholds at the close.  Before the Daily Models fall, the 240 minute models must go first, in the case of these models, by mid-day.

Below a graphical portrait of just how close some 240 minute models are to turning:

At the trial in Newport, von Bülow was found guilty and sentenced to thirty years in prison; he appealed, hiring Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz to represent him. Dershowitz's campaign to acquit von Bülow was assisted by the then Harvard Law School student and later television personality Jim Cramer; Cramer privately and later publicly considered von Bülow to be "supremely guilty".[3] Professor Dershowitz and associates rendered doubtful the first trial's most damning evidence and testimony; in 1984 the conviction was reversed; in 1985, after a second trial, von Bülow was found not guilty on all charges.   

Professor Dershowitz wrote the book Reversal of Fortune: Inside the von Bülow case (1985) that was cinematically adapted as Reversal of Fortune (1990). Jeremy Irons starred as Claus von Bülow (a performance which won him both the Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Actor), and Glenn Close as Sunny von Bülow.
