Given the nature of the events which I believe will soon be occurring with IDTC, I thought I might review the cast of the SI-IDTC Soap Opera. Let's take a look at our stars:

Sir Hawaii:
This stately gentleman is unquestionably the Patron of our daily saga. We generally see him sitting at his large mahogany desk gently warming a Waterford snifter of Gran Marnier in his hand. He occasionally gazes wistfully out his window at the large oak tree that shades his house. He is eerily in tune to the workings of IDTC and is dedicated to sharing his prescience with those that he sees as his children in investing. He occasionally lashes out at a wayward youth, but is easily appeased with a statement of dedication to the company line. At times he will soothe frayed nerves by simply speaking a few words with his seductive English accent.

Dr. Wonderful:
This dashing and witty gynecologist was once Sir Hawaii's close friend, but has since left the fold. Some suspect that his evil twin has chained him to the wall in his basement and assumed his identity.

Mr. Fancy:
Sir Hawaii's arch enemy...he often posts thoughtful insights on the performance of the company, but occasionally lowers himself in an obvious attempt to provoke his nemesis.

Crazy Uncle Bink:
This laughable and loveable character changes from irate to euphoric faster than a chipmunk on meth. Sometimes in the same message. He's great at parties because he'll keep the whole room amused with his lengthy discourses sprinkled with delusions of grandeur. He manipulates the stock market single handedly while lashing out at his detractors in one of 6 languages. Parli l'italiano Bink? Sei pazzo ma ti amo moltissimo.

There are, of course, a large number of character actors who add irreplaceable color and insight to the ongoing story presented each day. Although there are a few over-actors (GO IDTC!!!), this soap opera is much more enjoyable to watch than the sitcom being shown on Yahoo.

...and now there is Torus...the gullible, inexperienced, poor - yet strikingly good looking - young graduate student. What little money he makes as a research assistant he spends on all the young beautiful coeds that flock to his humble cubicle. He'd like to help a small inheritance left to him by his grandmother grow into a slightly larger nest-egg, and he thinks IDTC might be a good way to do so.

Whew! After a year of lurking, I just couldn't help myself. I'll try not to let this happen again.
