      <guid>http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2847063</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[An overabundance of negative economic news and three market moving speakers created an avalanche that drove the stock market’s rapid retreat down the mountain, with the major indices erasing most of last week’s gains.  Describing the market’s action in terms of a mountain avalanche is befitting since the Moon, Venus, and Jupiter were aligned in Capricorn yesterday. Capricorn’s symbol is the mountain goat who seeks to ascend to the top of the mountain (representing the top of one’s profession and social<a href=http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewarticle/articleid/2847063>[More...]</a>]]></description>

For those of you that are in your 20’s or even low 30’s you would look at this device and say &quot;what on earth is that?&quot;… But for us older folks we remember what these devices are and they were used to play records which was accomplished by spinning the record with a needle on it to reproduce the recorded sound.
