Jim Miekka, Creator of ‘Hindenburg Omen,’ Dies in Accident
"Jim Miekka, creator of the ominous-sounding “Hindenburg Omen”—a technical indicator used to predict stock-market crashes—died earlier this week near his home in Surry, Maine. He was 54 years old.
"Mr. Miekka, who was blind, was walking on the side of a road Tuesday morning with his guide dog, Zoey, when he was struck by an SUV. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to his father, Richard."
