WRONG...I did not say that. I suggest you go back and read my post 8/22/96 9:49 again. Furtheremore, I especially said my remarks should not be construced as disparaging to MB.

My concern is that there are obviously some newbies on every board who are unable to evaluate the information disseminated and therefore take as gospel that which they do not understand. There are also some very well versed people reading these notes who understand exactly what I am warning against.

I have never remarked about his stock picks, Beta or anything of that
sort. My remarks are limited to his counters on options. I assure
you that if they were made before a group of highly sophisticated options traders they would bring quite a chuckle.

I do wonder why my very specific remarks are generalized to this extent. "How dare you suggest our idol isn't all knowing?"

All I have suggested is that those interested in options take the time to study the suject. If that is a criminal offense, I do indeed apolopgize to all.

The CBOE has a toll free 800 number. Find out what they offer. Much of it is free or very low cost. Other options exchanges have joined in their effort to educate the public.
30 years ago the exchanges were very different than they are today.
