Hi Gottfried - re: Teutonic Transfixation
I see you have discovered my secret strategy,
<...you have this preoccupation with Germanic celebrations. I see that as a dangerous way to make decisions, unless you trade on the DAX...>
Noting that the ignition catalyst for our '87 crash was based upon arbitraguer's observations of the London market, my gloomy outlook for the market is reliant upon those 'across the pond'.
My earlier message, upon which you have commented, should be extended to add a fourth point:
4. If beer consumption in Reiskirschen (Saar) does not rise 10% above last year's, then I am selling my entire portfolio...perhaps you will have a beer with me in the near future (I hope).
<...Mrs. M will probably not attend. I could bring one of my dogs, the boxer...>
Hardly a suitable replacement! I love dogs, but behind every great man...
<...How many threads do you follow routinely?...> 25
<...How many threads on SI?...>
There have been 15,530 threads created in the last 2 years. The average thread has received 115 posts. 2430 of these threads are still "active" (have been posted to in the last 7 days). These threads average 525 posts each. The thread with the most posts is "Any infos...Iomega", ~26K+
<...Do you ever catch yourself thinking your threads are SI?...>
No, sometimes I fall under the delusionary, megalomaniacal assumption that SI is mine! That is why I am so glad to have people like you, Iceberg, and many others to make sure my 'reality check' has funds available, and doesn't bounce.
