Gosh OJ, it sure warms the cockles of my heart that you are having a wonderful time in the Trading Room. For me, this new Trading Room is giving me heart ploppitations, a nasty rash over 5/8's-3/4's of my body and a severe case of locked bowels. I told Dortmunder my woes, but did he care? Nope. I told Suzy my woes, but did she care? Nope. Only Capt. Tomato and Lettuce listened with ears-acocked...truly this man's best friends. "Mato" I said, (I call her Mato for short), "this new Trading Room has me listed as 'LEEK' whenever I post. I ask you, how do they go from Lee Kramer to LEEK? I'm embarrassed with this moniker and I want it changed." Tomato looked at me with those baleful eyes, nuzzled my hand in sympathy... Lettuce wagged his tail in agreement. "Furthermore" I hollered, "how do they expect me to switch back and forth between the Trading Room and the Gems thread? And watch the market, and check my Q-charts and trade? Damn near impossible is what, don't you agree?" Two tails wagged furiously in certain affirmation. "And despite all this new mishegash yesterday I was able to spot the turn when the NASDAQ was down over 100 early and
I pulled a couple of points out of a semiconductor stock. Then when I was convinced that they were coming back I had to choose from 8 stocks that I liked a lot. The one I chose sat like a dead mackerel then sank and I got stopped out for a 2-point loss. The other seven you ask? Took off like F-14's with after-burners kicking in. I tell you guys, the Trading Room has thrown me off my game. And they've got audio and video. What means audio and video? There's a way I can see and hear you OJ? I have great respect for you OJ, but see you? I'd rather see Gilligan's Island re-runs if you wanna know the truth. I gotta tell you Mato and Lettuce I am verily distressed with this sudden turn of events...the Trading Room. I finally got used to the Gems thread and now I must deal with a new wrinkle. It's enough to shrivel a peckah and drive me to a crisis session with Doc Kronkite which I am loathe to do." Capt. Tomato and Lettuce inched closer, began licking my hand. At least the Red Sox won last night. So OJ, I'm really happy you're happy. I figure it'll only take me 6-9 months to figure out this new technology. (Lee)...now known as Leek in the Schmading Room. |
