　　There is no question that the stock market is being affected by war jitters. When it looks like peace we have a strong rally. When it looks like shooting will begin momentarily the Babbitt Bearing Manufacturers market takes a dump. What should you do with your stock, mutual funds or cash that is waiting to find a home?Back when I was a floor trader we had a saying "When in doubt get out". And that applies just as strongly today to everyone whether you area professional trader or a retired person living off your equity income.You might say that I am not a trader or speculator so I won't do anything. Let me clarify what you really are.

You are a speculator whether you want to admit it or not. The only thing that separates you from the floor trader who is scalping for a few ticks and someone who has thousands of dollars in a retirement account is the time frame. If all you do is buy and hold you still are a speculator. You are hoping the market will come back. Your broker told you so.What your broker did not tell you is that long-term bull markets are followed by long-term bear markets of equal length. Because we have been in a long-term bull from 1982 to 2000 the mindset of the investor has become conditioned to believe the every correction will see another new high.

That is true, but can you afford to wait that long? In the crash of 1929 ? '32 it took almost 25 years to see a new high in the market averages. Do you have that much time? Also folks don't remember that many companies went out of business so your "average" went out the window.With the market so precariously perched it might be best to stand aside with your cash in your hand or under your mattress. When the Iraq war starts we could see a 1,000-point move ? and it could be either direction. What kind of a gambler are you?

We'll see.Ask yourself this question: Is this bear market caused by Iraq? Back in 2000 no one knew where Iraq was on the map much less were able to spell Baghdad. We can't blame Saddam for the loss of about 50% of market equity. When it comes right down to it the Iraq war is just another event in a long-term bear market just as 9/11 was. Events do trigger violent moves, but the overall trend is what is important and now that is down.Another old saying is 'don't fight the trend'. War or no war the safest place for your money is not in equities during this down phase. Cash or bonds are the only place to be.Are you ready for the next violent move?

　　Piling Pipe is widely used in coastal, river, lake area. Offshore deepwater terminal project in the country have also been large-scale construction in coastal areas, and as a major deep-water dock pile bearing capacity, generally use the large diameter spiral welded pipe, in addition, bridges, roads, high-rise building needs piling pipe etc.

　　Piling pipe weld surface shall not have cracks, broken arc, craters and holes and other defects, the presence of these defects allow the welding seam defects allow grinding or repair. Allow the structural steel pipe weld steel head, steel allow docking with two pipe sections together, submerged arc butt welding or manual welding process can be carried out. Production of steel piling mainly use the double submerged arc technology. A first advantage of using the double submerged arc technique is completely automated; The second advantage is conducted under submerged arc welding, the heat exchange and protection of its relatively strong performance, high quality welding out; the third advantage is the automatic submerged arc welding arc welding flux can be used under high-current, high welding efficiency.

　　When piling, as a result of pile to soil compaction effect, first into the level of pile after pile was caused migration and displacement or push and shove by floating pile vertical extrusion drawing; then pile into hard to reach design elevation or buried deep, causing uplift and squeeze the soil, cut pile is too large. When the group piles, in order to ensure the quality and progress, to prevent damage to surrounding buildings, according to the intensity of the pre-piling structural steel pipe, pile size, length and pile frame is easy to move and other factors to select the correct piling order. Common piling order generally following categories: conducted in one direction by the side from the middle to be symmetrical in both directions, from the middle to four weeks.
